Alright this is an Instagram Story I did not think I'd be doing tonight but Clint, who was on my season of the Bachelorette, I'm going to say tragically, he's tragically passed. 34 years old. I'm not sure what happened, how it happened. All I want to say is that from knowing him on the show even though things didn't end on the best terms for us, from his time on the show til today I've heard nothing but incredible things about that person. From his peers, his students, his coaches, his teachers, his friends his family, Clint was very well respected in his world and it is an absolute tragedy of what's happened, i just don't know much right now and it's none of my business. This Instagram Story is literally to just say to anyone who knows him, who might follow me, that I am so sorry. It's such a huge loss and I'm honestly just beside myself with this news. If there's anything I can do, anything at all, please let me know and let's all just say a prayer or be there for Clint's family during this time. Gosh, I'm just so sorry.
