Jenn Tran created a hotbed of controversy when she brought Maria Georgas into her messy split with Devin Strader. In a new podcast interview, Maria claims that her former Bachelor co-star sl*t-shamed her and sent trolls after her. Keep reading for all the details.
Maria Georgas Hints She Was Asked To Do Dancing With The Stars
Maria Georgas was a guest on the Chicks in the Office podcast earlier this week. She was asked whether she was approached to appear on Season 33 of Dancing With The Stars. It was heavily rumored before the season started that she might be on the celebrity dance competition.
However, Joey Graziadei and Jenn Tran are representing Bachelor Nation this season. Maria Georgas played coy about whether she was asked to do DWTS or not, but she did say she wouldn’t say no if she was asked. She previously came under fire for claiming that she turned down the role of The Bachelorette so the network went with Jenn Tran instead.
Slams Jenn Tran For ‘Sl*t-Shaming’ Her
There were also rumors that Jenn Tran’s Bachelorette suitors didn’t expect her to be the lead and thought it would be Maria or Daisy Kent instead. With that in mind, fans were shocked when Jenn Tran called out her ex-fiance, Devin Strader, for following Maria Georgas on social media within a day of their split.
Name-dropping Maria led to a huge social media storm of hatred toward the Bachelor alum. It was so bad, Maria Georgas had to release a video denying that she had any connection to Devin Strader.
On the new podcast episode, Maria calls Jenn out for bringing her into the drama because it caused her to be sl*t-shamed for days until she posted the video. Watch the clip below to see Maria talking about the backlash she got from Jenn Tran bringing her name up.
Bachelor Nation Fans React
Maria Georgas got a lot of praise for her video supporting Jenn and denying any involvement with Devin Strader. However, the good will from fans didn’t last long. Bachelor Nation fans took to Reddit to react to Maria’s latest accusation. Check out some of the comments:
- “We been knew this girl was trash.”
- “Is her 15 min up yet?”
- “Wouldnt a self proclaimed girls girl be calling out and blaming devin for his immature antics”
- “Ugh Maria is insufferable”
- “Why is Maria still a thing? Did she do anything interesting post season that I don’t remember?”
- “She is exhausting. Can we just be over her already?”
- “Maria’s 15 minutes have been stretched wayyyyy too thin. It’s time to go back to being an average mid”
- “Why is she holding Jenn responsible for the messages from “fans?” Maria took no responsibility for the racist sh*t her “fans” said to Rachel on her behalf.”
- “I mean didn’t this girl go on a major podcast and say she was the Bachelorette choice and turned it down? Did SHE not think that would hurt or diminish Jen?”
- “Maria is such a hypocrite. She literally created a narrative that Jenn was sloppy thirds as bachelorette pick when she was not.”
