Bristowe has wanted to be DWTS since she wrapped up the season The Bachelorette in the year 2015. In a series of tweets from 2017, Bristowe revealed that she was in fact a place and had a contract ready to go, but Bachelor’s degree creator Mike Fleiss said that she was not allowed to participate, even though several Bachelors had appeared previously in the program. Following the tweets, Bristowe released a statement to Entertainment Tonight explain why she spoke. “I think men and women should have the same opportunities,” he said. “That has not been the case with The Bachelorettes and The Bachelor.” Despite the writing of Mike numerous emails about why she wanted to do DWTSshe was still denied the opportunity. “I told Mike that it was my passion. I said Shawn [Booth] it must be my only passion. My hope in speaking is that the future Bachelorettes are given the same opportunity to Undergraduate. Whether it’s a wedding, dance, or other entertainment. Only to be treated the same, to choose what will make you happy.”
DWTS usually begins in September, although it is not clear if this season is going to be delayed due to the coronavirus of the epidemic. Regardless of this, we can’t wait to see Bristowe moves in the ballroom in the new season.
