Career

Fedotowsky's work in television began when she was selected as a cast member on ABC's reality show '' The Bachelor'' series which first aired on January 4, 2010.

"It shouldn't be a big deal. And I don't ever edit my body to make it skinnier." She has previously turned down an offer to promote a weight loss pill "because that's not who I am or what I want to represent. I only work with brands I truly love."
