It seems impossible, but somehow the Bachelor drama from Peter Weber’s season continues to rage on. This time it comes courtesy of Madison Prewett, who says in a new interview that Weber texted her about getting back together just days before he was spotted with another woman from his season, Kelley Flanagan.
Let me back up and give you some context. You’ll recall Weber’s Bachelor season finale, when he proposed to Hannah Ann Sluss even though he had lingering feelings for Prewett. Well, that was only the start of the story. Weber ended up breaking things off with Sluss to get back together with Prewett, only for that relationship to end as well. Intermixed with this was Flanagan, the inexplicable “favorite” of Weber’s mom, Barb, whom he had actually met by chance at a hotel before shooting The Bachelor. A few weeks after Weber ended his relationship with Prewett, he and Flanagan were photographed together in Chicago looking awfully flirty. Weber says they’re not dating, but they are currently self-isolating together and making TikTok videos.
Now, enter Prewett again. On the April 21st episode of Kaitlyn Bristowe’s Off the Vine podcast, she claimed Weber actually texted her about getting back together “two days before he was spotted in Chicago” with Flanagan.
“He was, like, calling me and texting me being like, ‘I miss you, let’s get back together,’” Prewett alleged, according to Us Weekly. “I mean, I think that to me was a little confusing, but I think, like, when you break up and you’re going through a heartbreak and you just came off a show that was emotionally, physically and [every] which way exhausting, everybody handles that differently. Everybody leans on different things.”
Prewett also said on the podcast she was “thrown off” by Flanagan’s pairing up with Weber because the two women were apparently close during filming.
“This is when it gets a little interesting. We were best friends, actually. We were inseparable throughout the entire process,” Prewett said. “I was definitely hurt and thrown off by that whole situation. I want the best for the both of them, but I definitely was thrown off.”
Regardless, it’s water under the bridge now. In fact, when fans started thinking Prewett and a few other contestants from Weber’s season threw shade at Flanagan on TikTok (see below) she shut that down completely. (A few of the women participated in the “Don’t Rush” challenge overdubbed with “Take Your Man,” and when a fan asked where Flanagan was, Prewett replied, “With our ex lol.”)
“Lolllll it was just a joke!! No shade. All the love for them both,” Prewett then reportedly wrote in an Instagram comment on a Bachelor fan page, per Cosmopolitan.
Hold your breath for more Peter Weber–Kelley Flanagan–Madison Prewett drama. Something tells me this is far from over.
