Kaitlyn Bristowe Calls Out 'Bachelor' Double Standards

Nick Viall will be a cast member on the upcoming season of Dancing With the Stars once production wraps on Season 21 of the Bachelor (#TeamRaven, BTW). Viall's former fling and star of the most recent season of The Bachelorette, Kaitlyn Bristowe, is now speaking up about a DWTS/Bachelor double standard.

Bristowe is calling out Bachelor creator Mike Fleiss for allowing Viall to do DWTS but blocking her back in 2015 when she was awarded the same opportunity. 

Responding to former contestant and friend Whitney Bischoff (from Chris Soules' season) on Twitter, she wrote:
 

Actually I was offered it, had the contract & Mike Fliess told me I wasn't allowed.He said he didnt want people wanting fame after his show🤔 https://t.co/nSzricohi4

Following this exchange, Fleiss took to social media to say he supports Kaitlyn's desire to be on the show with Kaitlyn responding:

Thanks I'll get right on that opportunity 2 yrs ago. I wonder what changed your mind? 🙄 https://t.co/8QMr8XHsIO

For the record, two Bachelorettes have been on Dancing With The Stars: Trista Sutter (season one) and Melissa Rycroft (seasons 8 and 15).
