As things heat up on "The Bachelorette," Kaitlyn Bristowe is being put in the hot seat!
On Tuesday night's episode, viewers were shocked when an extended promo for this season revealed that the newly crowned Bachelorette slept with one of her suitors weeks before the "fantasy suite" stage of the dating competition.
In light of this scandalous revelation, Bristowe sat with ET's Nancy O'Dell on Wednesday to reveal why she's "not ashamed" of what was caught on the "Bachelorette" cameras.
"I don’t think that's a crazy thing to sleep with somebody when you're trying to be in a relationship with them," the brunette beauty explained. "I'm a 30-year-old woman and I make my own decisions and intimacy to me is a part of every relationship and I don’t know why everyone is so shocked by it. It's 2015."
"I'm an in-the-moment kind of person," she continued. "I tried to compartmentalize each relationship and be present with each guy, and some went faster than others and some went slower than others."
O'Dell's pressing caused Bristowe to admit that her late-night rendezvous happened after she and the mystery man had shared "a few" dates together. More specifically, somewhere after the second date but before the fifth.
"I'm not ashamed of it -- I just regret the timing. But I'm also not afraid to talk about it," she said. "I don’t really have a problem talking about that kind of thing. I think when you're looking for a lifetime partnership, intimacy is obviously a part of that."
So would there be less backlash from the fans if Bristowe were the Bachelor instead of the Bachelorette? "I think he'd still take some heat for it, but maybe just not as much," the dance instructor said. "It's probably a little worse because I'm a lady."

You’re right drewh.....she’s 30 years old, running around like that. I bet Pops is so proud of her national TV debut.
Onyx says that she didn’t end up getting married—big surprise!! (when you sleep with a guy on the 3rd date)
Have no idea what this show is or who carries it. It isn’t on one of these Cinemax channels that carries the late night porn stuff, is it?
Nope, this airs right in the ‘Family Hour’ of prime time on ABC. (mostly Mondays, its kind of like ‘Monday Night Football’ for women)
Don’t JUDGE her now for being loose! Oh no!
Because shame is a human concept
shame is in short supply.
the producers run these shows and there is much more prime time ratings gold in keeping the floozy on. probably didnt matter in the end how the guys voteed...
One of my favorite songs when I was stationed in Germany:
I went home with a waitress,
The way I always do.
How was I to know
She was with the Russians too.

I can’t believe so many people watch these shows
Hi Onyx,
I’m cracking up about Nick. He’s the same dude that “outed” the last Bachelorette Andi for sleeping with him the night before she became engaged to Josh (was it?).
What kind of spell did he place on these women?
He grosses me out. Blech.
YES, that same sickening Nick!
I think he looks and acts effeminate!
He crashes the show!
The difference with this girl is that she is not ashamed for doing it at all. Does she have a mother or father or was she raised by wolves?
More info than I needed to know. Would not watch it any way.
Holy moly not guilty.
Warning to her potential husband...marry a whore and get std’s.
Wow.
you cannot turn a floozy into a housewife.
