Bachelor In Paradise’s Victoria Paul quits show as ‘secret’ boyfriend is exposed by rivals Tammy Ly & Kelsey Weier
BACHELOR In Paradise’s Victoria Paul quit the show as her “secret boyfriend" was exposed by rivals Tammy Ly & Kelsey Weier.
The Nashville native broke down in tears as she sent herself home following a blowout fight with James Bonsall - whom she began to build a relationship with before it quickly crumbled.
Despite their steamy make-outs, it appeared that he had stronger feelings than she did when Victoria couldn’t even remember his name and referred to James as “that guy.”
Her co-stars from ’s season, Kelsey and Tammy, began telling the beach that their friend had a “boyfriend back home” and that she’s “using any guy here to elongate her time here on Paradise.”
“Right now, Victoria P.’s unfortunate victim is good, sweet James, and I think he needs to know,” Tammy said in a confessional before confronting her pal about the allegation.
She pulled James aside on the beach to fill him in and he was shocked by the unexpected news.
“I feel like you deserved to know because I want you to find a connection. I’m just looking out for you. I don’t want to see you played,” Tammy said before adding Victoria is a “rose chaser.”
A disappointed James responded: “I like to think I have a good radar for bulls**t, but if this is true, then clearly I’ve been away off.
“At this point, I don’t want to start gossip or start drama, but I feel like I can’t trust my own judgement at this point,” he said as Kelsey also confirmed Tammy’s story.
In a separate scene, Victoria tried to diffuse the situation but Tammy claimed she “had receipts” to prove she was lying.
Victoria began to sob and admitted: “I’m crying because I’m upset that the words I’m giving the people I love are being questioned.
“I could not come into this without an open heart because that would require me to lie to someone else.
James appeared disappointed but appreciative he appeared to dodge that situation and went on to build a spark with - whom he gave his rose to on tonight’s episode.
Fans slammed Victoria for "lying" about her relationship status while "using the show" for fame.
