The Golden Bachelor’s Nicolle Has a Lot Left to Say

Glamour: How do you feel after tonight’s show?

Nicolle Kate Briscoe: I’m still processing a little bit, but all in all, I feel good. It allowed all the women to express themselves and tell me how they feel, and that’s valid. We may have experienced things differently, but everyone’s entitled to express themselves in any way that they feel is necessary.

How was that for you, hearing what Debbie had to say?

Debbie and I are very good friends. I said, “Debbie, come on.” I didn’t think that was necessary. Everybody had already said basically what she was saying, and she didn’t need to repeat it. If she needed to say that to me, she could have said that to me separately. That was the only part that I had a problem with. I didn’t have a problem with anybody else. I mean, Amy, to be honest, wasn’t even in the house with me very much. So I don’t really think she had enough information firsthand to say anything. But Terri, I have a lot of respect for. And I like Robin. Robin is fine.

You and Debbie appeared to exchange words in the commercial break. What did you say to her?

I said, “Debbie, I love you, but that was really unnecessary.” She said it was necessary. I said, “Well, it wasn’t necessary like that. There were so many positive things about our friendship. You could have said something nice, and then sandwiched it with something negative and ended with something nice. That is how you are supposed to do it.” She said, “You are right. You are right.” I think she was very emotional tonight, to be honest. I understand that, and I forgive her.

I thought she was very valid with all of her points, and I also commend you for the way you handled it and said, “I will do better and I will try.”
