Brittany was a contestant on Matt James’ season of The Bachelor, which aired at the beginning of 2021. She actually wasn’t part of the original cast for season 25, but was brought in with four other women after the second rose ceremony. Matt gave her a rose at the third rose ceremony, but she quickly got entangled in some drama with fellow contestant, Anna Redman.
Anna accused Brittany of being an escort in Chicago, and claimed that she may have had a “transactional relationship with wealthy men.” Brittany denied the allegations.

Keep sharing your stories with me because they are so powerful. I am here to support you.”
At the Women Tell All special, Anna apologized for making the false accusations. “Nothing I can say can justify what I did,” Anna said. “There’s no reason to ever take down another woman without thinking of the consequences, especially in that moment. It was awful and after watching the aftermath, I am a hundred times more sorry. Everything in the situation I did was wrong and I’m sorry.”
Brittany wasn’t ready to forgive Anna right away, and accused her of continuing to spread lies even after filming. “I know what I said can’t be unsaid and the damage can’t be undone, but I’d love to help repair some of that damage,” Anna insisted. “I want you to know I am 100 percent sincere when I say I am so, so sorry for that.” Brittany went on to accept Anna’s apology.
