Gabby Windey, Colton Underwood, and more Bachelor Nation alums have been living their most authentic lives after appearing on the franchise. Windey, for her part, revealed in August 2023 that she is dating a woman for the first time.

Seiter expressed surprise at the lack of a warm welcome she received from the LGBTQIA+ community. “Ironically, I’ve actually found that the far left and the LGBTQ community have been some of the most vitriolic and mean towards me throughout all of this,” she claimed. “So that’s a very tough issue for me because I haven’t been met with acceptance, tolerance, and open arms like the left loves to preach about.”

Seiter came out as transgender in May in an emotional Instagram post, where she shared her struggles with gender identity and her decision to transition. However, in August 2023, her Instagram account was hacked, and a false post claimed that she had died. Days later, the post was taken down, and Seiter released a video stating she was alive.

Following the death hoax, Seiter checked into a mental health facility after receiving harassing messages. “I wish I was stronger, but I can’t take any more and am logging off of social media for good and am checking myself into a wellness facility now to try to get some kind of handle on my mental health,” she said via Instagram in September 2023. “I am losing my phone in the next hour. I love you all. To the people sending me death threats, you win.”
