Disney/John FleenorThe golden bachelor alum April Kirkwood Tilt the layers back on the alleged feud between her fellow members of her fellow “askn”.
“I feel they were upset. I don’t know who did it, “April 67, claimed on Thursday, February 13, episode of the” She’s All Bach ” podcast. “I know [the social media messages] Came from Texas, and I only know so many people who live in Texas. “
April revealed via Instagram in January 2024 that she was unable to make the journey of the foursome – Askn also included SSUsan Noles, Kathy Swarts And Nancy Hulkower – to St. Martin because of work and family obligations. She reportedly received a handful of messages asking: ‘Why [she] Did this’ for the group.
“I think they now give the benefit of the doubt and take a step back, they personally took it that I rejected them,” she said on Thursday. “I rejected that, but I also had a lot going on at the time. I had some house problems, I had a job and they were all fed up with that I was so much gone. And then it was a money problem [regarding the cost of the vacation]. “
April added: “I just had to make a value statement and it just didn’t feel good for me. I’m really not a heavy drinker [or] A tough party like at some shows. “
April connected to Susan, 67, Kathy, 71 and Nancy, 62, when they all appeared Gerry Turnerseason of The golden bachelor in 2023. The quartet later reunited Joey Graziadeiseason of The bachelor To organize a group date prior to their so -called Caribbean journey.
“I think it became clear that I was backwards and I think it hurt their feelings,” said April. “I would like to apologize publicly because it was not personal and I was just saving my identity.”
She continued: “I spent my whole life … Trying to be authentic – and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t help me and sometimes it hurts me. I don’t advise that for everyone.”
Although the remaining members of ASKN did not respond publicly to the April claims, she reportedly handed them out immediately before she was posted on social media.
“I called them and told them that I would go back,” said April on the podcast. ‘I think you get five women [or] Four women together and s – goes down. “
April also hoped that the group could eventually recover their friendship.
“I could work with them at any time,” she said. “I mean, I love them and I am a professional. … I love Bachelor Nation and what they did for me and I would be more than happy to bring my best foot forward and leave that behind and to be positive. “
