Clare Crawley finally got her happily ever after after striking out on TV dating shows. But maybe it isn’t as great as she thought. The Bachelorette star dissed her husband’s ex in a shocking post.
Clare Crawley’s Dream Finally Comes True
Clare Crawley is tied with Chris Bukowski for appearing on the most Bachelor Nation shows. Viewers first met her as a contestant on Season 18 of The Bachelor. She famously chewed Juan Pablo Galavis out when he sent her home at the end of the season.
She went on to join Seasons 1 and 2 of Bachelor In Paradise. But she still didn’t find lasting love, so she went on Bachelor Winter Games. Clare Crawley was determined to find her future husband.
After Winter Games, she became the Season 16 Bachelorette. She immediately fell in love with Dale Moss and they quit the show together. However, their engagement didn’t last.
It turned out that her future husband wasn’t on reality TV all. She married Ryan Dawkins in 2023. He’s the CEO of Mascot Sports and prefers to live a quiet life. Clare Crawley’s main goal wasn’t just a husband, though. She wanted kids.
She welcomed a daughter, Rowen, in 2024 through surrogacy. But Rowen didn’t make Clare a mother.
After marrying Ryan Dawkins, she became a stepmom to his two daughters from a previous relationship. But being a stepmother is harder than she thought.
Bachelorette Star Disses Husband’s Ex
There’s one thing Bachelor Nation fans know about Clare Crawley. She’s going to tell it like it is no matter who gets mad. She took to her Instagram Story to vent about her husband’s ex.
“Bless the stepmoms out there that have to deal with their partners ex that hate them more than they love their kids,” she wrote on a photo of a hallway.
Since it was on her IG Story, comments weren’t visible. However, Bachelor Nation fans took to another social media site to slam The Bachelorette star for the insensitive post.
- “If she can be this messy online, I don’t think she’s as easy to deal with as she believes she is.”
- “Ooooof this is a nasty thing to post. Do better Clare.”
- “BIG YIKES. Especially because the step child(ren?) in question are old enough to see this.”
- “This is something you tell your friends over brunch to vent. Or your therapist. Not ALL OF AMERICA.”
- “Bless the stepmoms who have enough sense not to trash their stepchild’s bio parents on social media for them and the world to see.”
- “This is incredibly inappropriate and immature to post. The children she’s talking about could possibly see this message and actually believe that their mom hates their dad more than she loves them.”
- “Ironically, the mom could post the same exact story now about claire”
- “Clare wants to be classy so bad but is and will always be a hot mess”
She Doubles Down After Backlash
While some people clearly thought Clare Crawley was wrong for the post, she didn’t regret it. In fact, she doubled-down with a follow up post. She shared some of the messages she’d gotten from her followers about the post.
For anyone offended by the post, she asked them to imagine how much a stepmom had to put up with before snapping and making such a post.
