Kat Izzo from *Bachelor in Paradise* has publicly reaffirmed her commitment to Dale Moss following allegations that she maintained a secret offscreen relationship. On August 19, 2023, Kat shared a photograph on her Instagram Story featuring Dale, 36, with his hands around her waist as they smiled together. The accompanying music was Taylor Swift’s “Call It What You Want,” suggesting a confident stance amid rising rumors.
The timing of the photo came just hours after fellow contestant Allyshia Gupta accused Kat of being “not an honest person” during an episode of *The Viall Files* podcast. Allyshia, 30, claimed she had a conversation in Tampa, Florida, with Sean McLaughlin regarding Kat’s alleged former boyfriend. “Her boyfriend at the time said, ‘You won’t believe who ended up screwing me over,'” Allyshia alleged, adding that Kat had been sending love letters to him while on the show.
In a dramatic twist, Allyshia claimed that Kat “snuck her iPad in” to send messages, asserting, “She was sending things to get him through, like, ‘This will last you until I get back out of Paradise.'” These revelations were echoed by podcast host Nick Viall, who stated that a friend informed him about Kat’s purported attempts to communicate with someone off the show. He noted, “I heard she somehow wrote some messages on her arm for him,” further fueling the controversy surrounding Kat’s intentions.
During the same episode of *Bachelor in Paradise*, Kat found herself embroiled in conflict with Sean. Their argument centered on issues of character and integrity, particularly regarding eliminations. Sean, who initially claimed to be defending Kat, later expressed frustration, stating he had seen her “true colors.” He remarked in a confessional, “She doesn’t give a f*** about anybody else but herself, and that shows.”
Dale quickly came to Kat’s defense, which she described as making her feel “so protected, so taken care of.” The couple shared a kiss before Kat presented him with a rose during the ceremony. Meanwhile, Sean and Allyshia chose to exit the show together, citing their unwillingness to compromise their principles. “We are leaving here with something so much more valuable than money can ever buy,” Allyshia stated, affirming their commitment to each other.
As they departed, Sean claimed, “I think you guys just voted off the strongest couple here,” which elicited a confused response from Kat. Dale, smiling, remarked, “That’s wild behavior, bro.” Allyshia later described Kat as “an absolute joke of a human being,” expressing anticipation for “karma to come full circle.”
Sean, who claimed he would have “died” for Kat prior to the confrontation, warned that Dale might leave her after the show ends, stating, “If you cross me, I hold a grudge. So watch out.” *Bachelor in Paradise* airs on ABC on Mondays at 20:00 ET, keeping audiences captivated with its unfolding drama and complex relationships.
