Fedotowsky, 40, explained on the Monday, December 23 episode Kaitlyn Bristowe‘S “From the Vine” podcast that she was “so sick” while hosting a travel show called First Look and eating different cuisines. During an event for The bachelor in New York, Fedotowsky began discussing her battle with Allemand.
“When I tell her how I feel, she says, ‘You should try to be a pescetarian.’ I have been pescetarian for years. I feel so good.’ That means you only eat fish and stuff. I was like, ‘Okay,'” Fedotowsky said. “And so we have this dinner, and then, about ten days later, she dies.”
After appearing on Jake Pavelkaseason 14 of The bachelor in 2010, Allemand died by suicide along with Fedotowsky in 2013 at the age of 29.
She remembers it all too well! Bachelor Nation’s Ali Fedotowsky revealed that Jake Gyllenhaal once made her cry while she was working as E! News correspondent. During a Wednesday, March 29 appearance on the “Women On Top” podcast, co-host Roxy Manning asked Fedotowsky, 38, if she had had any bad experiences interviewing celebrities in the red. […]
“After that I thought, ‘Oh, I’m going to be a pescetarian for two weeks,’ like at that dinner we had,” Fedotowsky said. “And when that happened, every time I went to eat a bite of meat or think about it, I couldn’t, because I was thinking about Gia.”
Fedotowsky continued, “I haven’t eaten a single bite of meat since the dinner I had with her fourteen, thirteen years ago, and I’ve been a vegetarian ever since.”
The former Bachelorette explained that she “hadn’t really told that story in full” until now. “I’ve been, like I said, briefly in an Instagram story here and there, but that’s still the reason to this day,” she said.
Fedotowsky, who was getting married Kevin Manno explained in 2017 that her husband also cut meat from his diet. (Fedotowsky and Manno, 41, share daughter Molly, 8, and son Riley, 6.)
Pete Dadds / FOX Former bachelor Ali Fedotowsky knew there was “speculation around [her] body transformation” before it was announced that she was competing in Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test season 3.”[It] was a bit difficult for me because I wanted to share it with people [who] would say, ‘How did you do it?’” Fedotowsky, […]
“My husband was a real meat eater when I met him, and then we watched some documentaries, and that’s when he went straight vegan,” she said. “That’s not the case now, because we live in the south and it’s harder to find stuff.”
While remembering her friendship with Allemand, Fedotowsky explained that the pair reconnected after the show.
“We actually bump into each other a bit The bachelorbut then got back together after everything that even says more about the type of person she is,” said Fedotowsky, who called Allemand “so lovely.”
