The season 29 winner is responding to social media criticism from one of her cast mates following her breakup with the bachelor.
Juliana Pasquarosa is breaking her silence following her breakup from Grant Ellis.
After announcing that she and the season 29 Bachelor had ended their engagement on Friday, June 13, Pasquarosa is responding to criticism from her cast mate Carolina Quixano.
Following the breakup announcement, Quixano took to TikTok to seemingly throw shade at Pasquarosa.
"My opinion is anyone claiming to be ready for an engagement with the Bachelor without actually going on a one-on-one with that person is probably trying to win The Bachelor more than trying to connect with the actual human," Quixano said. "Anyone who goes out of their way to s*** on someone who’s simply saying they’re nervous about the Bachelor potentially meeting their family and how quickly everything is moving because there is an engagement at the end of it, um, probably not a very nice person."
"My opinion is that then lying and then saying that person had nothing good to say about that date is even worse. Branding yourself as a 'nice girl' is probably like you’re trying to overcompensate for something. We all know what you stand for. My opinion is that if she hadn’t been 'the winner,' everyone would have seen a very different side to all of this." she added.
Pasquarosa, who runs a fashion label called Nice Girls, told Us Weekly that she's not interested in the online drama.
"Carolina’s comments aren’t surprising. This feels like an attempt to turn our breakup into [social media] engagement. That’s her choice," Pasquarosa said. "As for me, I’m not interested in going back and forth. Eye for an eye isn’t my vibe."
"I’m focused on healing, staying close to my support system and keeping it all about nice girl energy — always," she continued.
Both girls were frontrunners on Grant’s season of The Bachelor, which aired earlier this year. During the show, they fought over the accusation that Quixano wasn't grateful for the one-on-one date she had, despite other girls, including Pasquarosa, not getting one yet.
