While the reality star claimed fans didn&#8217;t know how intimate the two got until the release of her book, she said she was still slut-shamed.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It just was wild\u2026.You hear it all,&#8221; she said. &#8220;So, that never feels good. But I stand by it. I like to skinny dip. So, I still do it.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Brown has also received backlash this season over her levels of intimacy with the contestants. While Robertson acknowledged &#8220;everybody has their own belief system,&#8221; she said &#8220;it&#8217;s better not to judge and [to] just watch with an open mind.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I like people who are openminded,&#8221; she said. &#8220;I tend to be a free-spirit and kind of put it all out there. It&#8217;s just not for everybody. Not everybody is going to like your choices or how you live your life, but you just gotta do it. Just put it out there. I mean, it&#8217;s a television show and sex is involved with multiple people. It makes for good entertainment. You can&#8217;t deny that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"text-2\" data-hook=\"scrollable-block\" readability=\"62.230862697448\">\n<section data-textblock-tracking=\"text-block-text-only\" data-swiftype-index=\"false\" readability=\"20.743620899149\">\n<p>After host <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eonline.com\/news\/ben_higgins\">Ben Higgins<\/a><\/strong> admitted he didn&#8217;t understand where Brown stood on her decision to have sex on the show\u2014<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BzKX98qHOWN\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">especially after this Instagram post<\/a>\u2014Robertson pointed out that discussing these topics isn&#8217;t always easy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s hard to put that stuff out there and talk about it. It is very taboo and maybe there&#8217;s a little, like, she&#8217;s trying to save a little face because she&#8217;s getting so much backlash,&#8221; she said, referring to the post. &#8220;But that&#8217;s part of this process. It&#8217;s probably 50\/50.

I do,&#8221; she said. &#8220;I do think with the whole #MeToo movement and stuff like that, people are being a little bit more open.

While Parker told her he wasn&#8217;t a virgin, he said he had been abstaining from sex over the past few years and saving himself for marriage. He then said he didn&#8217;t believe she should be having sex with other contestants and that he&#8217;d be wanting to go home if she had.<\/p>\n<p>While Brown seemed upset by Parker&#8217;s words, Robertson wondered if there were other thoughts going through her mind.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think she seems a little bit regretful in that moment,&#8221; she said. &#8220;What if he was the first date?
