'Bachelorette' Emily Maynard: 'Every girl's dated a Bentley'

Williams appeared on Ashley Hebert's season of the ABC reality show but revealed that he was not attracted to her.

Maynard has now revealed that she was concerned that Williams would appear when her suitor Kalon arrived in a helicopter during the season premiere.

Speaking with reporters on a call, Maynard also described Hebert as "one of the sweetest, most down to earth girls" she has ever met.

"To see her go through that [on The Bachelorette]... every girl has experienced something like that," she said. "Not on that level, but every girl's gone through and dated a Bentley type, and I think every girl's heart broke for her in that moment, and mine certainly did."

However, Maynard also confessed that she does not want to judge Williams too harshly based on the television show.

"I also know, just based on the people that I've met from the show that are completely different than the way they were whenever I watched it from home, that I want to give Bentley the benefit of the doubt and just hope he was able to watch it and grow from it," she explained.

"Because I think everyone does watch themselves and sees a side of themselves they don't love, and hopefully he was able to fix a couple things."

The Bachelorette airs Mondays on ABC.
