Taking to her Instagram Story on June 16, Katie Thurston delivered a clear message to her social media followers who have been hating on the fact that she parts her hair to the side, telling her almost-700,000 followers (via People), "All right, I'm creating a new rule for myself. Anyone who wants to message me about my part, or my fashion or lack thereof, I'm just going to block you." 

"I mean, I know a lot of you guys don't have any hate about it," she continued. "They're just giving me friendly suggestions, but when you get them every day, it's just like, 'g*ddamn.'" 

"Look, I'm just like your basic f***ing girl who somehow became a Bachelorette. But you know, I've said it before, and I'm going to say it again: It's not about the wrapping paper, it's the gift inside. And that's what I am, a f***ing gift. So this," the reality star concluded, pointing to her hair and casual T-shirt, "doesn't matter."
