In an episode of The Bachelorette, Brown takes the men on a trip to Inverness in Scotland. While there, she invites Mike on his first one-on-one date with Brown. During the date, Brown takes Mike to a sweets shop, where they tried Highland Whiskey. At this point, she asked Mike “You know what Southern women are?” to which she immediately replied “Whiskey in a teacup. We’re strong on the inside, but ornate on the outside.”

In an interview for Dancing With The Stars, Brown reflected on her former days as a pageant queen. She said, “Being a pageant girl taught me to be polished, poised, and slap on a smile” which shows that she is proud of that time in her life and that she is grateful for what it taught her.

6 God Bless The United States Of America And Roll Tide.

Brown is known for her lightheartedness and her comedic one-liners. Naturally, during her time as The Bachelorette, she gave the viewers plenty of lines to remember. One of her most unforgettable lines was said during the episode she finally sends home the season’s villain Luke P.

When explaining to the viewers that she kept him for so long because she wanted a man of faith, she admitted that she kept him on the show for way too long and that he was canceled. She concluded her explanation with “God bless the United States of America and Roll Tide” which perfectly ended the weeks of drama.

5 I’m Like… Befumbled.

Another one of Hannah Brown’s most unforgettable lines was brought to viewers everywhere during a confessional during Colton Underwood’s season. When reflecting on one of the more shocking moments of the season Brown says “I’m like…befumbled” which left viewers equally “befumbled” at her vocabulary.

At this point, viewers of The Bachelor, know to expect interesting pronunciations of words from its contestants but it’s rare for someone to make up an entirely new word. So for Brown to add “befumbled” to the Bachelor Nation dictionary just adds to her legacy.

4 I Have Had Sex… And Jesus Still Loves Me

One of Hannah Brown’s most memorable moments was when she told Luke P. that she’s had sex in a windmill. While this revelation felt a bit comical at first, it ultimately resulted in a very empowering conversation for Brown and viewers around the globe.

Hannah Brown has always been very open about her faith and how important Christianity is to her. When she told Luke P. that she had sex with Peter, he questioned her morality and her faith. Brown responded, “I have had sex… and Jesus still loves me.” This statement by Brown helped to spark a conversation about slut-shaming and Christianity in today’s society.

3 You Don’t Get To Decide What I Can And Can’t Do.

In that same conversation with Luke, Brown also told him “You don’t get to tell me what I can and can’t do,” when explaining to him that he doesn’t own her. At this moment she sent Luke home and hopefully taught him that women are individuals who have the right to do what they want with their bodies.

This moment was very influential for many viewers because it confirmed for them that they are entitled to do as they please with their lives and that they shouldn’t let anyone make decisions for them.

2 Whether It’s With A Microphone In Your Face Or If It’s Just A Friend Having Coffee With You. It’s Really Nice For Somebody To Ask, ‘How Are You? Are You OK?’

Over the past two years, Hannah Brown has opened up quite a bit about her struggles with mental health, particularly anxiety and depression. In an interview with ABC News, Brown said these words.

Many people struggle in silence with their mental health because they think they are the only ones with issues. To have someone like Brown open up about her struggles often helps to destigmatize conversations surrounding mental health and push people to seek help.

1 People Always Have An Opinion About What You Do, What You Say, How You Walk, How You Dress.

In an interview with Alabama Newscaster, Brown spoke about her decision to leave the pageant world and to start filling her days with things that bring her true joy. She said “People always have an opinion about what you do, what you say, how you walk, how you dress. I took the wrong outlook on what pageantry should be — I thought my self-worth was through recognition”.

Many women could relate to this feeling because often our society can feel like one big beauty competition no one signed up for. To hear an actual pageant queen talk about how detrimental this way of living is, certainly inspires us to reframe our view of ourselves and where we draw our value from.
