Grant Ellis Accuses Litia Garr of Lying: Calls Out Her “False” Claims After Finale Fallout

Bachelor Grant Ellis and his runner-up, Litia Garr, have very different views of their relationship. She thought for sure that he was going to propose at the final rose ceremony. However, he broke up with her and proposed to Juliana Pasquarosa instead. In an interview after the season, he seemed to imply that Litia was lying about their relationship.

Bachelor Star Denies Struggle To Decide Between Final Two

The promos leading up to the Bachelor Season 29 finale hinted that Grant Ellis was torn between Juliana Pasquarosa and Litia Garr. One preview clip showed host Jesse Palmer encouraging Grant to make a decision so he knew who to send to the rose ceremony first.

However, in multiple interviews closer to the finale, Grant denied the claims that he was undecided. He spoke to Entertainment Weekly after his engagement to Juliana. Grant again denied that he was torn and explained why he seemed rushed into a choice.

“There’s a whole structure that goes behind this giant machine, and at the end of the day it is a show with production and there’s a time clock. You’ve got to make that decision and it has to be in a certain amount of time,” Grant Ellis explained.

Grant Ellis Accuses Litia Garr Of Lying?

Grant and Juliana both spoke to EW and addressed Litia’s claims. She said on the After The Final Rose special that Grant all but told her the night before that he was going to propose to her.

“I remember saying goodbye to him and saying, ‘Oh my Gosh, we are getting engaged tomorrow.’ And he said, ‘I know I can’t wait…’ Those were the last words that he said to me before I walked up there,” Litia told Jesse Palmer and the audience at After The Final Rose.

But Grant Ellis has a very different take on their relationship. “There’s an opportunity for Litia to speak her truth and what she felt like happened. The difference between it is a lot of those things are not on camera, so there’s a lot of room for interpretation,” he told EW.

Juliana chimed, “I will say that she has the right to her reality, her perception is her reality.”

Viewers Take Litia’s Side

Grant may not think he led Litia on, but a lot of Bachelor Nation fans see her side in the messy breakup. Viewers saw Grant tell Litia that he loved her on multiple occasions. In fact, he said it on camera to Litia before he said it to Juliana.

Viewers took to various social media platforms to share their support for Litia. Many want her to be the next Bachelorette when the show returns from an unexplained pause.

• “She’s better than me. The composure was inspiring bc I would’ve been TWEAKING”
• “She reacted sooo much better than normal imo, WAY more poise than I would’ve had”
• “Grant is diabolical! Affirming and reassuring her right up until the day before! I would have crashed out and flipped everything over!!!”
• “She is too good for him. Man like Grant are scared of woman like Litia, she is too good for him”
• “Litia…thank you for being real. He lied and you didn’t pretend to be fake gracious you called him out.”
• “I would be mad too if he reassured me never backing down and then bam! He probably didn’t chose her because she didn’t give it up on suites night”
• “Ya dodged a bullet girl it’s okay!”
