Christen Whitney became a memorable contestant on The Bachelor season 21 after admitting she’s a virgin, proclaiming herself as the “crazy one,” and for unintentionally sending Liz Sandoz home.
Bringing some entertaining craziness to The Bachelor season 21 is 25-year-old Christen Whitney. In the season premiere, she arrived with some fanfare and asked The Bachelor alum, Nick Viall “How crazy do you think I am right now?” So we know she’s the one to watch for some crazy drama. Sure enough, Whitney unknowingly caused drama to go down between Viall and his one-night-stand, Liz Sandoz. Viall found out that Sandoz spoke about their hookup at Jade and Tanner Tolbert’s wedding, and was afraid that it would ruin his relationship with the other girls. So, after some investigating on his part, Viall learned that Christen Whitney is the only one Sandoz told, and that was enough to send her home. Unfortunately, Whitney got some flack for it. No worries! The lively lady shut down her critics on Twitter.
We wonder if Whitney’s strong and lively personality runs in her family? We searched through Christen Whitney’s social media accounts, and have found details on her parents and siblings.
