"Bachelor" fans are convinced that contestant Madison Prewett made her own fan account after she appeared to leave a heartfelt, supportive comment on her own Instagram post.
Prewett posted screengrabs from Monday night's episode of her and "Bachelor" star Peter Weber on a date to Instagram, along with the caption, "Woke up feeling super grateful... the most perfect date with the perfect guy" on Tuesday.
But that wasn't the only thing Prewett appeared to say about the photo. Screenshots posted by fans to Twitter show that a comment from Prewett's account was shared on the photo, saying, "Beautiful date Madi. You are so genuine and real."

The comment disappeared shortly thereafter, and a friend subsequently took responsibility for the message, writing, "Oops, thought I wrote that comment about being real & genuine from my account but was logged into Madi's from when she got back from filming. Don't hate me @madiprew."
"Hahahaha you're good. It happens love youuuu," Prewett wrote in response.
Fans still weren't convinced that it was Prewett's friend who was responsible for the comment, even sharing screenshots of what appeared to be a fan account leaving an identical comment on Prewett's photo.
