The Bachelor finalist Victoria Fuller broke up four marriages in her Virginia hometown, and threatened to "slash" her ex-friend's tires, the former pal has claimed.
Merissa Pence made a surprise appearance on the ABC show on Monday, as visited Victoria's home of Virginia Beach.
Bumping into Peter- who she also once dated- Merissa told him not to pick , 26.
Now, in an interview with , she has alleged her first encounter with the medical sales rep came when she "told me she was going to slash my tires because I was hanging out with one of her ex-boyfriends."
The pair ran in the same circles and so remained cordial, but Merissa claimed that after she joined the show, Victoria became "self-centered" and "entitled."
She claimed Victoria was "just wanting all the attention" and even asked 'do you know who I am?'"
"I knew who Victoria was, as far as her reputation, but I honestly didn’t know that she had done as much damage as she had done to our hometown," added Merissa.
She claimed to and alleged it had "started becoming a trend."
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".
However, show bosses reportedly told her there wasn't enough time to vet her for an appearance but offered her some potential off-camera time with him.
Instead, she says she "noticed that Peter and Victoria were separated" and so took her opportunity to speak to the 28-year-old pilot, with the moment being caught on camera.
She claimed they spoke for about seven minutes in total and that Peter "was definitely upset," adding "everybody could kind of tell the mood shifted," and suggesting that he told her he trusted her before they parted.
Viewers saw Peter later confront Victoria to which she broke down crying, and claimed she was done with the show and their relationship.
"I haven’t broken up any relationships. I’m disgusted right now. So much drama all the f**king time," she responded.
“I don’t want to do this.”
The pair have had several on-camera fights but he later apologized and l.
Fans were left fuming however, with one fan writing: “Alright Victoria F is the worst person to ever be on the bachelor... in history... so manipulative and conniving. I’m so over her and her toxic actions.”
A second said: “Peter keeping Victoria...he’s such a drama vampire.”
A third commenter wrote: “If Victoria wins I’m never watching The Bachelor again.”
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."
The Bachelor airs on ABC Mondays at 8 p.m. ET.
