Kaitlyn Bristowe blasts accusations of copying ex Jason Tartick’s girlfriend Kat Stickler on social media: ‘I do not care’

   

It’s a no from Kaitlyn Bristowe.

The Bachelor Nation star blasted fans for accusing her of copying her ex Jason Tartick’s girlfriend Kat Stickler on social media Wednesday.

Bristow was seemingly accused after she posted a photo of her niece’s braided hair not long after Stickler had shared a snapshot of her daughter’s hair styled in a braid.

“Oh Christ guys. I braided my niece’s hair and posted about it not having a f–king clue someone else did,” she wrote on her Instagram Story.

“Y’all are freaking me out to post anything cuz I can’t even eat pizza anymore without someone thinking something,” she continued. “I do not follow these people, I do not see their content, I do not care.”

“Sorry to break it to you but I do not care to be copying anyone. Please calm down.”

Earlier in the day, the 39-year-old showed off an image of the braid she did for her niece. “I still got it,” she enthusiastically wrote in the since-deleted post.

“I think it’s my best one yet if I do say so myself,” the 29-year-old content creator wrote atop the picture.

Wrapping up her clap back — and seemingly complimenting her ex’s new girlfriend — Bristowe added, “Please stop pitting me against other incredible women. None of us deserve that.”Kaitlyn Bristowe and Jason Tartick
