Last night’s episode of Bachelor In Paradise saw fan fave Laurina Fleure have a *moment* when she was chosen to go on a date. She had the opportunity to pick anybody for her date, but instead fans saw her lose it on tv.
And although it seemed like it was because she was given 10 minutes to get ready, she’s actually not that high maintenance.
Laurina posted on her Instagram overnight explaining the reason why she got so emotional.
“Tonight on @bachelorinparadiseau you see a very emotional reaction from me. The truth behind that reaction was that I had lost my big brother a month before,” she began.
“I thought I could escape to Paradise and run away.. but.., Like love- pain – is an emotion that needs to move through you, it craves expression and acknowledgement, and I couldn’t push it down longer, I needed to go home and allow myself to grieve the loss of my beautiful brother – Michael Shaun Fitzgerald – 🙏🏼 Thank you for having me Paradise you were a wonderful haven of love, friendship, light and laughter .. 🌴👭🌞🥥👙🙌🏼💝”
Laurina has received an abundance of support from fans in her comments, wishing her well and sending all the love her way.
“Sending you so much love @laurinafleure, it’s so difficult loosing someone close to you and grief is it’s own entity. You may think you’re going okay until suddenly you realise not, glad you’re taking care of you, so sorry for your loss. ❤️”
“So sorry to hear Laurina. Sending you lots of love and light 💜”
