Bachelor Pad's Michelle Money Credits Social Media as Her "Savior'

Among those sporting the blue ribbon and promoting colon cancer awareness with Chris4Life Wednesday night at the Decatur House was one seriously social Bachelorette.  As it turns out, Michelle Money, famous for her time on The Bachelor and The Bachelor Pad, is still living large online.


“Chris4Life heard about me through the Bachelor Pad.   I think they saw the episode where I was talking about my Father and his struggle with colon cancer, and they actually reached out through a Tweet,” said the starlet, who flew in from Utah to attend the cause’s Blue Hope Bash.  


 “At that time, my Father had recently passed away and I was very eager to get on board with anyone related to the cause.”


Money explained how she has used her social media circles both to handle the grieving process and begin to give back to cause-related organizations in the just ten short weeks since his passing.  


“It’s amazing how much support I have on Twitter.  Not only have I had people praying for me and giving me advice, but I’ve been able to connect with doctors and get really great advice about the mourning process. Honestly, Twitter has been a savior for me.”


But she admits that her willingness to share deeply personal posts can cause some drama.  


“I am very open about everything in my life, and I think that…if I had never connected with people about my Father’s passing, I would never be here,’  she says as she looks around the room of Chris4Life supporters.   


“I don’t take things personally at all, but every now and then you get tweets about ridiculous things. Like last week, this girl had the audacity to accuse me over Twitter of using my Dad to get famous. I wish I could remember her handle, because I’d love to call her out for this!”


The social media scrimmage was all out war in the making, but Money kept her cool… and concentrated on the colon.
