There’s drama brewing in Bachelor Nation.
Nick Viall shaded Kaitlyn Bristowe in the comments section of her ex-fiancé Jason Tartick’s steamy new Instagram post.
After Tartick shared a photo of himself and Tyler Cameron shirtless on a beach as a “little summer throwback on this cold winter Wednesday,” Viall wrote, “Nothing asexual about this.”
The “Bachelor” Season 21 lead’s comment did not name Bristowe, but fans were quick to point out that it came just one day after the “Bachelorette” Season 11 star said she felt asexual toward the end of a past relationship.
