Chelsea Vaughn continues to be outspoken about her ups and downs within The Bachelor franchise.
Recently, Chelsea opened herself up to questions from fans who were curious to get the behind-the-scenes scoop on reality television.
When Chelsea was asked about the men on Bachelor in Paradise, she threw subtle shade at her former flame and BIP costar, Aaron Clancy.
Chelsea Vaughn says she never ‘gushed’ over anyone on Bachelor in Paradise
Chelsea Vaughn took to her Instagram stories to engage with fans and answer questions.
Chelsea asked, “What’s something you’ve always wondered about the bachelor / reality tv?”
One fan inquired about Chelsea’s time on Bachelor in Paradise, asking, “did you actually like any of the guys or did you feel caught up In The moment.”
Fans’ noticed Chelsea threw a bit of shade in her response as she shared a photo of herself arm-in-arm with Aaron Clancy in paradise; however, she blocked out Aaron’s face with the question box.
Bachelor in Paradise viewers will recall that Aaron and Chelsea had a brief fling on the island that even resulted in a confrontation between Aaron and Ivan Hall, who also showed interest in Chelsea.
Chelsea answered the fan’s question by writing, “A bit of both. I never felt like I was ‘falling for’ or truly had strong feelings for anyone on either show. And I stayed true to that which is why you never saw me gushing.”
Chelsea continued, “I definitely liked them as people. They are all funny, outgoing, interesting etc, which are the qualities that I am attracted to in a guy. But it’s easy to get caught up and question the validity of your own feelings.”
Ultimately, Chelsea’s relationship with Aaron and Ivan fizzled out, and she left the beach single after Ivan snuck around to pursue Alexa Caves and got booted from the beach. Aaron also completely ditched Chelsea for Tia Booth.
Despite those curveballs on Bachelor in Paradise, Chelsea still thinks fondly of the men even though she didn’t fall for any of them.

While Chelsea has stated she’ll never go on Bachelor in Paradise again, she’s still open to discussing her experience and giving fans an insider look at what goes down on the beach.
Bachelor in Paradise is currently on hiatus on ABC.
