Social commentary on The Bachelor in recent weeks has become a space to discuss bullying, intimidation, and gaslighting.
There have been countless opinion pieces, with Australians nationwide weighing in on the drama unfolding on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook.
But while so many have come together to condemn the behaviour of Cat Henesey, alongside Alisha and Romy, the women are now being unfairly bullied themselves, to the point that they are receiving death threats on social media.
Opening up about the experience on her Instagram story, Cat Henesey shared a devastating screenshot laden with fat-shaming and death threats.
“Hey guys I just want to address some of the things people are saying to me, I know that how I was portrayed to Australia has not necessarily been great,” she said in her Instagram story.
“So throw 25 women in a house together trying to fight for the one guy, no social media, no family, no friends, you are completely cut off from the world and you’re in a situation you’ve never dealt with before,” she continued.
We unpack the best moments from the Honey Badger’s latest week in the mansion on our Bach Chat Podcast. Post continues after audio.
The 24-year-old shared that she lost touch with herself during her time in the mansion.

It's disappointing to read Cat's comments that she felt she was "she was edited into the villain role on the show". As long as she tries to play the victim and doesn't take responsibility for her actions, things are not going to get better for her. The first step in change is acknowledging the behaviour that needs to be changed. I really hope she can grow out of this experience. But that's not going to happen as long as she sees herself as the victim and is unable to recognise the pain she causes to others.
The producers must be revelling in all controversy. Job well done says the network, never mind about the pawns we sacrificed at the altar of social media!
