What happened to Beverly during The Bachelor?
After the group date, Beverly got some rest to prepare for her one-on-one. She took a brief nap and was excited to have the mansion to herself. She kept throwing up and experienced intense stomach pain that was worsening by the minute—lasting 12 hours. She recalled the moment with Joe Amiable and Serena Pitt on the Bachelor Happy Hour podcast. “They ended up taking me to the hospital because I was not okay,” she said. “They gave me IV, morphine, and the pain went away. The doctor came in and said, ‘You have appendicitis, you’re going to have to get surgery.’
It was an emotional time for Beverly because she wasn’t surrounded by her loved ones. She had surgery and spent about a month recovering, both physically and emotionally. “We were building a connection, and he was feeling everything that we were seeing and feeling. We did have a lot of cute moments,” she said. “I didn’t get to tell him what happened. So I was like, ‘I hope he didn’t think I left just because!’”
Beverly still hopes to appear on The Bachelor when she’s fully recovered. “America didn’t get to really see me,” she said. “I’m silly and funny and goofy. Obviously, I have a serious side to me as well.” She’s also manifesting for a Bachelor in Paradise appearance. “I feel like, if I made it further, I wouldn’t have considered Paradise,” she admitted. “But because I didn’t make it that far, yes. I do want to get married. I’m 30 years old. I’m ready for kids and family.”
