"Honestly, I never expected to have feelings this strong," she added. "It felt really good to get the validation I did tonight. It made me really happy."
It wasn't long before Tammy filled Peter in on Kelsey's tearful confession.

Peter then decided to confront Kelsey about her tears face-to-face.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}"I was emotional but it wasn't a breakdown," Kelsey told the "Bachelor" star, according to the magazine. "I want you to know I didn't have an emotional breakdown. I was sad, I was really sad."
Kelsey continued: "It's not like every day has been like that. It was just the first time after a one-on-one where my feelings were really strong."
This isn't the first time a contestant on the ABC dating show has been accused of drinking heavily. The show's spinoff, "Bachelor in Paradise" came under intense scrutiny in 2017 after a producer claimed Corinne Olympios was too drunk to consent to a sexual encounter in a pool with DeMario Jackson.

According to author Amy Kaufman, who wrote "Bachelor Nation: Inside the World of America's Favorite Guilty Pleasure," the "Bachelor in Paradise" scandal led to the network implying a "two-drink per-hour maximum" rule.
