Bachelor Nation Fans Slam Joey Graziadei As ‘Self-Centered’

Joey Graziadei was a fan favorite when he was on Season 28 of The Bachelor. But the tide is slowly turning against him. Keep reading to find out why some former fans slammed him as “self-centered.”

Bachelor Couple Share Big Plans

Joey Graziadei was a guest on the Lightweights podcast this week. He shared some big news with host Joe Vulpis. He and his fiance, Kelsey Anderson, are scraping plans to move to New York City. Instead, they want to stay in Los Angeles for the foreseeable future and try to make careers out of being social media influencers.

Joey is currently competing on Season 33 of Dancing With The Stars. If he wins or makes the finals, he could be asked to join the 2025 DWTS Live Tour, taking him further away from Kelsey. Viewers are already skeptical that the couple will last much longer. Could the distance be what breaks their connection?

Bachelor Nation Fans Slam Joey Graziadei As ‘Self-Centered’

The bloom is off the rose for Bachelor Nation fans regarding Joey Graziadei. A clip of Joey discussing the L.A. plans was posted on Reddit. The comments painted Joey in a poor light, which is surprising given his popularity. He was widely considered to be the best Bachelor lead in years. So, why are fans turning against him now?

One Redditor summed it up. They wrote, “I don’t like how he sounds here. He sounds very self-centered and not willing to compromise. This could be foreshadowing an end.”

They added, “I hope Kelsey finds what makes her happy and successful whether it’s in LA with Joey or elsewhere alone.” Others agreed that Joey’s behavior would eventually doom their relationship.

• “They’re moving to LA because he prefers it but he’s also planning on going on tour for a period of time? Run Kelsey run.”
• “he’s been going through the motions with Kelsey for a while. He clearly wants to pursue his own calling. I clocked this last year… the main thing they lacked is similar visions.”
• “Mmmmmm I don’t think this will end well”
• “I’m calling it now, they’re not making it to the altar lol”
• “Joey is very Joey oriented hmm”
• “I liked them together but this definitely sheds some light on him being very “me me me” especially when discussing his hobbies…”
• “If Joey does the DWTS tour then I hope Kelsey takes that time to live in and explore NYC for a bit. Just so she can have a better idea of what she wants going forward.”
