Bachelor fans were left wondering about Kelsey Toussant’s background after she revealed on the show how religion caused her estrangement from her father. During a recent episode of the dating series, Kelsey shared with Bachelor Joey Graziadei that her decision to pursue higher education led to her father cutting her out of his life due to their family’s religious beliefs.
Although Kelsey did not specify the religion she was raised in during the conversation, she had previously disclosed in an interview that she was a Jehovah’s Witness. She explained that her strict religious upbringing conflicted with her passion for creativity, prompting her to leave the religion and focus on her academic pursuits at California State University, Northridge.
