Last night The Bachelor unveiled its winner, and we think we can speak for everyone when we say thank goodness Matt Agnew chose Chelsie McLeod to be his winner.
In saying that, we all felt a little sorry for runner-up Abbie Chatfield, who despite repeating ‘I’m fine’ about 1 million times, was clearly not fine.
After the finale aired, the woman who has given us the sexual energy we all need for 2019 released a statement, and it’s pretty heartbreaking TBH.

“The only way I can describe this moment is complete and utter shock. I was numb,” Abbie began.
“I couldn’t and didn’t want to feel anything. I had felt for weeks that what Matt and I had was real and I trusted him wholeheartedly when he told me how he felt about me.”
Abbie goes on to describe the insane bubble the girls on The Bachelor live in: “From Hometowns, I forgot the cameras were there. It didn’t feel like we were filming a show at all, it felt like we had this real relationship built in a little bubble of “The Bachelor” and we would be out soon and able to live a normal life.”
It’s about here that we just want to give Abbie a big ol’ hug: “Hearing Matt say “my heart is with someone else” reminded me that we were filming and that Matt had to make a difficult decision, and he did not see in me what I saw in him.
“I felt silly for ever imagining Matt would love me. It was like emotional whiplash. I was so confused and it felt like I was in a dystopian reality. The second the cameras turned off, I sobbed. I screamed. I couldn’t breathe. I didn’t think this would be how we would end.”
Abbie ends her Insta post by making it very clear that she has nothing but time and love for Chelsie and Matt, which is all we want to see at the end of the day.
“I spent weeks crying about this relationship that had almost no closure. I still haven’t fully healed from my relationship with Matt, but I know he and the gorgeous woman he is with are happy, and that’s all that matters.”
