Deanna Pappas reveals Clare Crawley is ‘feeling really down’ about The Bachelorette… but hints the leading lady is still with Dale Moss

She may be falling for the handsome Dale Moss on this season of The Bachelorette.

But off camera, Clare Crawley is apparently not doing so well.

‘On most days, she’s feeling really down about the things that people are saying about her online and the editing of the show,’ Deanna, 38, revealed on The Ben And Ashley I Almost Famous podcast. 

Oh no: Deanna Pappas revealed Clare has been ‘feeling really down’ after receiving a negative edit and backlash on this season of the show

In order to cheer her up, Deanna and some of ‘the girls’ sent Clare flowers.

‘So, actually, the girls and I, we all sent her some flowers today just to let her know that we love her and this is a blip,’ she explained. 

This season of the Bachelorette was making headlines before it ever even premiered. 

Clare is widely rumored to end her time on the show to be with Dale, and Tayshia Adams reportedly steps in as the new Bachelorette.

While nothing has been confirmed yet, Deanna did appear to hint Clare and Dale are indeed together.   

‘What I encouraged both of them to do is definitely enjoy the ride, take the opportunities because they’ll forever change the way their lives go and to love it and enjoy it but also to nurture and take care of what they have,’ she said. 

‘So, I think that would make her so happy just to be in Sacramento and live her life and live her love story with Dale and she’s totally fine with that. She’s waited a really long time,’ she added.

While it’s been a while since fans have seen Deanna on small screens, she did make a brief appearance on the last episode of The Bachelorette.

Deanna first rose to fame as a contestant on season 11 of The Bachelor, where she competed for the heart of Brad Womack.

She made it to the final two, however Brad infamously dumped both her and the other runner-up, setting Deanna up to become The Bachelorette.

She became engaged to snowboarder Jesse Csincsak, but ultimately went on to marry Stephen Stagliano, the brother of Bachelorette vet Michael Stagliano.

The couple share daughter Addison Marie, six, and son Austin Michael, four.
