Kelsey Anderson, a contestant on The Bachelor, recently stood up against online hate. On March 15, the 25-year-old took to TikTok to respond to a troll who accused her of constantly crying on the show just to receive a rose.

Kelsey shared that a lady consistently leaves negative comments on all her TikTok videos, finding it amusing. The hater questioned why Kelsey doesn't cry on TikTok when she cries on every episode of The Bachelor, suggesting it was a strategy to receive a rose, deeming it as "lame."

In response, Kelsey sarcastically acknowledged the hater's comment, jokingly admitting to crying on The Bachelor to manipulate men into giving her a rose. She humorously expressed how men supposedly love it when women cry, insinuating that she only cried on the show for strategic reasons, not because of personal struggles or emotions related to her deceased mother.

The Bachelor contestant addressed the allegations and talked about how she handles online hate since appearing on season 28 of the ABC dating show.

She jokingly referred to one particular hater, saying, "This is my top hater, Lisa. Thanks for making me famous!" She expressed that the negative comments don't bother her and that she finds them amusing. In her view, it's important to laugh off the negativity and not take it too seriously.

"Lisa, I just wanted to tell you that I love you. I really hope that you can find more happiness and positivity in your life," she expressed sweetly, sending a kiss towards the camera.

Kelsey is among the last three women vying for a chance to get engaged to Joey Graziadei this season. In the latest episode that aired on Monday, March 11, Kelsey, Daisy Kent, and Rachel Nance jetted off to Mexico for their fantasy suites dates.

Before going on romantic dates with Joey, Kelsey and the other women had deep conversations with a former Golden Bachelor contestant.

Kelsey had a heart-to-heart with runner-up Leslie Fhima. They connected over the pain of losing a parent and Leslie advised Kelsey to stay aware of the competition from other contestants.

"I would suggest always keeping in mind that things may not turn out the way you expect. If they do, it's wonderful," she advised Kelsey. "But if they don't, at least you have some protection."

Despite Leslie's advice, Kelsey didn't seem affected at the time. She spent the day with Joey and even expressed her love for him before their fantasy suite date. Joey was thrilled to hear her words and shared his own feelings, saying, "I'm falling for you completely."

However, it turned out that Kelsey wasn’t the only woman who was on Joey’s mind. Viewers learned that Joey also told Daisy that he was “falling in love with her.”

Throughout Joey’s date with Daisy, the audience watched as Kelsey started to slowly spiral while having lingering thoughts about her own relationship with the tennis pro.

Kelsey felt it was important to have a conversation with Joey before the rose ceremony. She wanted to be honest with him and express everything on her mind, rather than blindside him. Kelsey mentioned, "I would rather leave now than have my heart completely broken."

To initiate the conversation, Kelsey wrote a letter to Joey and placed it on his hotel room door with a message that read, "We need to talk."

Joey was filled with panic when he found the letter. "I don’t get it. I haven’t even talked to her, so what could have gone wrong?" he wondered. "This feels like a total disaster. I’ve been putting in so much effort, but it seems like I’m not the one being chosen."

Don't forget to catch The Bachelor on ABC every Monday at 8 p.m. ET.
