Brooke Blurton has lashed out at former friends who claim she’s “changed” since appearing as the 2021 Bachelorette.
The 26-year-old shared a video to her 313,000 Instagram followers on Monday, saying: “Rest in peace to all those friends that were like, ‘you’ve changed’.”
“No I’ve just grown and I have more purposeful things in my life that I would like to achieve and not confide to your f–king bulls–t.”
The loaded post was captioned: “Today’s thoughts. Just a reminder that friendships are like relationships. It takes two to tango. Don’t be taken advantage of.”

Brooke, who ended up choosing Darvid Garayeli in the recent Bachelorette finale, then filmed herself saying: “I realise that would have come across very very savage but not apologising for it because we are heading to Capricorn season.”
“We are shedding new skin, we’re getting rid of dead weight.”
A few hours later, the reality TV favourite took a swipe at celebrity podcast hosts who didn’t acknowledge the traditional owners of Australian land until they were “called out”.
Brooke filmed a video of herself shaking her head and looking fed up, captioned: “Me getting DMs about how these so-called ‘woke’ people are now doing acknowledgements at the start of their podcasts but only because they got called out for s–t.
“[They] should have been doing it from the start. Shows your so-called allyship is for clout.”
Brooke’s scathing messages come just weeks after her very public fallout with former bestie and fellow Bachelor alum Abbie Chatfield.
The saga started when Abbie, 26, went public with Konrad, a booted contestant on Brooke’s season of The Bachelorette, just a day before last month’s finale aired.
Despite waiting for Konrad’s elimination to air to make their relationship Instagram-official, Abbie copped flack from viewers and from Brooke herself, who said she stole her limelight and accused the I’m a Celebrity 2021 winner of demonstrating “white privilege and narcissism”.
The 26-year-old shared a video on Monday, saying: “Rest in peace to all those friends that were like, ‘you’ve changed’.”
(Instagram)Brooke wrote an impassioned Instagram post and accused the couple of ruining the show’s finale.
“I’m not a hostile person and literally do not have any hate in my heart. Everyone who watched the show, or was on the show cast and/or working as crew, will know that I put my hear and soul into it and it meant a lot for me to open myself up so vulnerably like that. Not only that but for what it meant for the LGBTQIA+ and First Nations Community to have that display of representation,” her post read in part.
“Which moves onto my new point. The hardest point. For that to be tainted ONCE again by 1) What I thought was a close friend. 2) Another white woman displaying what white privilege looks like. 3) A very clear display of narcissism.
“Hurts me. Literally pains me. I’ve reached out to this person to resolve this ‘conflict’ which in fact, classic naive me, adult went to this person to communicate openly about the layers of complexity that this persons actions show and take away from NOT only me but what it meant for a queer woman of colour. If this wasn’t me, I’d still have this stance.”

(Instagram)Abbie then shared a lengthy response to Brooke’s post where she expressed remorse over the way her and Konrad’s relationship came to light.
“A month ago, a video of Konrad and I kissing was secretly captured by a patron and made public. Following this, Brooke and I had a conversation in which I apologised and expressed regret multiple times for our public affection as this was prior to Konrad’s exit from the show. Konrad had a similar conversation with Brooke,” she wrote.
Abbie explained that she met Konrad at a catch-up with a mutual friend, adding that the “public setting was an accident”.
“We absolutely should have waited to be in private as we are public figures and these are things we need to consider, but we didn’t. We also didn’t consider the possible ramifications of our actions,” she said.
