Merissa, a former teen Miss Virginia, said she contacted Bachelor producers prior to hometowns week, and had asked for time to speak to her ex in the hope that "if anyone were to say something, I felt like he probably would listen to me versus some random girl".

Merissa concluded that she has lost friends because of her actions but that it's simply because everyone from their home town "hopped on the fame train".

"One of the other wives actually confronted me when I was at a bar in Virginia Beach and I didn’t know that that’s who she was until after the fact. And she was like, ‘I just want to thank you so much. You took on a huge burden that a lot of us couldn’t take on because of other reasons,'” she added.

"It’s definitely been crazy."
