						<p>Sticking up for her pal! <strong><strong>Greg Grippo</strong></strong>‘s friend <strong>Kaitlyn Herman</strong> defended him online after Bachelorette <strong><strong>Katie Thurston</strong></strong> hinted that she felt gaslit by their conversation ahead of his departure.</p>


<p>On Monday, August 2, blogger Reality Steve shared his thoughts on Greg, 28, choosing to leave the show after telling Katie, 30, that he loved her.</p>

<p>The <strong><em>Big Brother</em></strong> alum, 27, quote tweeted the post, writing, “The VICTIM GAME? That was the most vulnerable I’ve ever seen a man speak in my entire life. And the response was ‘I just like looking at you.’ I watched this man cry EVERYDAY when he got home. He was BROKEN.”</p>
<p>A fan responded to her tweet asking <strong>why her friend didn’t let Katie explain her side of the story</strong>.</p>


<p>“He kept talking over her &amp; wouldn’t let her get a word in edgewise. Did he not know what show he signed up for &amp; that she can not say I love you back until the end? He was being manipulative towards her,” a social media user wrote back.</p>
<p>Kaitlyn then explained that Greg wasn’t just looking to hear that Katie loved him, noting, “He wasn’t asking for her to say I love you and he made that abundantly clear. Also not for nothing, many leads have said I love you at this point (to multiple people).”</p>
<p>The reality star also “liked” a tweet by another viewer who disagreed with <strong>how the former bank marketing manager chose to handle the situation</strong>.</p>
<p>“I completely disagree with this….the guy pours his heart out and she still is sitting there with a blank face…i really think she wants 3 guys to propose to her at the end of this …glad greg is going home he deserves better lolll,” the tweet read.</p>

		<p>Kaitlyn’s comments come after Greg left the show after he felt like Katie <strong>wasn’t on the same page about their relationship</strong>.</p>
<p>“I think you’re beautiful and I think you’re great. I didn’t know I was going to fall in love with you. I didn’t know that. And I am in love with you. You just make me the happiest I’ve ever been. I see it with you. This is real to me,” the account manager told the Washington native during Monday’s episode. “I haven’t been this vulnerable with anybody in my life. I don’t know what else to show you at this point or what else to tell you at this point. I know in my heart I’m not going to have any regrets after this. I’m not going to get down on one knee twice. It’s a one-deal thing for me.”</p>
<p>Katie replied, “I just love looking at you,” which upset Greg at the time.</p>


<p>“I told my mom that you were The One. I was telling my whole entire family that. I truly felt that in my heart and wanted to express that to you. I expressed that I do love you. I felt like I was telling that to a stranger. I don’t know why,” he added. “This whole entire time has felt like Katie to me, and that night, I was thinking that I was expressing my love to my future wife, and you didn’t even feel it. You just completely dismissed it in my eyes.”</p>
<p>Greg eventually made the decision to stop vying for Katie’s heart because he felt like she was picking the show over their possible future together. The episode ended <strong>with Katie announcing that she wanted to leave the ABC show as well</strong>.</p>
<p>The TV personality <strong>chose to offer limited commentary on the intense breakup</strong> between her and Greg on social media.</p>
<p>“Thank you for the virtual hugs tonight,” she tweeted after the episode aired.</p>
<p>Katie later took to Instagram to share a slideshow <strong>that highlighted the term gaslighting and offered examples of the psychological manipulation</strong>, which some fans thought was about her interactions with Greg.</p>
