At the end of the episode, which featured a few hostile exchanges between Trott and some of the other women, she told leadMatt Jamesthat she didn’t think she could go on.
“I just felt really called to go home and be with my family,” said the 24-year-old broadcast journalist, whose father has ALS. “I just don’t think I’m ready for this.”
Hours after it aired, she shared a post onInstagramwith a lengthy caption about the value of women supporting other women.

“It means supporting a female owned business and paying full price,” she continued. “It means supporting a younger woman in your industry and offering guidance and support when appropriate. It means valuing community over competition. It does NOT mean you have to pretend to like everyone always. That’s impossible. But it DOES mean being a good person, keeping your head up and refraining from degrading another human being.”
“You never know the internal battles another person is going through. At the end of the day, please just be a decent, kind individual,” Trott concluded.

The post itself featured a rather pointed quote — “Real queens fix each other’s crowns,” an apparent reference to fellow contestantVictoria Larson, who has dubbed herself “the Queen.”
Larson spoke out against Trott during Monday’s episode, which picked up with Trott fainting during the rose ceremony. Some of the other women complained about how Trott had already received a rose and whispered about how she had supposedly told them she didn’t know “if she’s cut out for this.”
“I’ve definitely never fainted for attention, and I don’t think I’ve ever even fainted,” Larson told the cameras at one point. “You’ve got to pull it together and don’t faint. This isThe Bachelor, it’s notThe Sarah Show, but Sarah didn’t get that memo.”
