Perhaps she was showing a different side of herself as fans realize that perhaps more was going on with Kelly than she was sharing on the show. People may have been confused about the divorce, as Kelly's storyline on the show included dating new guys.

She shared that she was very happy and moved by the fans who chose to stand up for her. She explained that she had received many harsh comments but that she was very thankful that people had her back.

Kelly knows that she does have fans in her corner who would defend her. The reality is, Kelly went through a lot while filming the show, especially during the cast trip that has since been labeled "Scary Island."

As Kelly herself has revealed, she was vulnerable and perhaps in an emotional spot when she was filming the show. One can imagine that she just appeared weaker because she was filming with such a strong group of women who were confident in who they were and their relationships.
