<\/p>\n\u201cThe Golden Bachelor\u201d announcement from Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist that they were getting divorced prompted a lot of commentary from Bachelor Nation. Fans and franchise veterans shared their thoughts online, and former contestant April Kirkwood seemed to shade the couple in a social media post.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s what you need to know:<\/p>\n
April Kirkwood Posted About Drama<\/strong> Kirkwood used a clip of the Lumidee song \u201cNever Leave You (Uh Oooh, Uh Oooh)\u201d to accompany her video. She wore a flowy, long dress and danced around outdoors while carrying a heart-shaped bag. She stopped to smell flowers at one point, skipped, and spun around at another.<\/p>\n In her caption, \u201cThe Golden Bachelor\u201d star wrote, \u201cDrama is part of the human experience but so is protecting your own inner peace.\u201d Kirkwood continued, \u201cRespect others on their journey through the highs and lows with grace & kindness.\u201d<\/p>\n She also included a handful of hashtags at the end of her caption. One was \u201cBachelor Nation,\u201d and another was \u201cUh Oh.\u201d She also used \u201cDrama\u201d and \u201cDealing with drama.\u201d<\/p>\n While Kirkwood did not reference Turner, Nist, or the divorce announcement, the timing of her post certainly suggested a connection. If this were a dig at the divorce situation, it would not be the first time Kirkwood had shaded others from the show.<\/p>\n Kirkwood Has Been Dramatic on Social Media Previously<\/strong> However, when it came time for the trip, Kirkwood canceled. She shared some information about her decision not to join the rest of the \u201cASKN\u201d crew, but things soon took a turn.<\/p>\n As Noles, Swarts, and Hulkower embraced the trip, Kirkwood posted on Instagram. She didn\u2019t name the ladies, but her post was specifically about the trip and the others on it.<\/p>\n She indicated she was being taunted by people in areas where the other women lived. In addition, Kirkwood claimed only the other three women knew she had canceled.<\/p>\n \u201cThis is adult bullying and it is a low, dense energy\u2026This is a poor example of what adult females should act like,\u201d Kirkwood claimed.<\/p>\n Kirkwood also noted, \u201cI seriously feel like I\u2019m on the Golden Bachelor part two and I\u2019m the new Teresa being targetted. Shame on you.\u201d<\/p>\n In addition, as \u201cThe Golden Bachelor\u201d aired, Kirkwood took digs at Turner in an interview.<\/p>\n During \u201cThe Viall Files\u201d podcast, former \u201cBachelor\u201d Nick Viall noted that Turner seemed great and empathetic. Kirkwood replied, \u201cYeah, I saw Gerry very differently.\u201d<\/p>\n Kirkwood also shared that Turner tended to \u201clook right past me\u201d when they talked. \u201cHe did that constantly to me,\u201d she recalled, noting it hurt her.<\/p>\n Many \u2018Golden Bachelor\u2019 Fans Loved Kirkwood\u2019s Post<\/strong> \u201cThis is SAVAGE! I\u2019m here for it \ud83d\udd25,\u201d one follower wrote.<\/p>\n Another quipped, \u201cThis woman is my idol. \u2764\ufe0f\u201d<\/p>\n Someone else added, \u201cSo glad you\u2019re not having to deal with all of that. \ud83d\ude0d\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cAPRIL FOR GOLDEN BACHELORETTE OR I RIOT,\u201d declared another of Kirkwood\u2019s fans.<\/p>\n \u201cThis is so messy April..

\nOn April 12, Kirkwood took to Instagram to share a video and caption related to drama. Text added to the video at the beginning read, \u201c[Point of View] watching drama you\u2019re not involved in unfold around you.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nDuring filming, Kirkwood grew very close to fellow contestants Susan Noles, Kathy Swarts, and Nancy Hulkower. The quartet did press and events together and even planned a group trip for January.<\/p>\n
\nFans of \u201cThe Golden Bachelor\u201d flooded the comments section of Kirkwood\u2019s post.<\/p>\n
