Carolina Could Barely Defend Herself
Many Women Confronted Her
Carolina’s past actions were frequently the center of attention, and whenever she tried to defend herself, another former contestant would interrupt or cut her off. At one point, she repeatedly asked not to be interrupted, so she could share her side, which earnedCarolina some heated backlash. However, it was clear that many of the women were too frustrated with her constant"twisting"of events, and refusing to take accountability, to give her that chance. The host, Jesse Palmer, had to step in a few times to get back on track and move on from the harsh arguments.
Carolina was only able to argue thatDina’s video felt like a personal attack, which led her to respond, but Dina quickly shut her down. It wasn’t until she took the hot seat that she finally explained why she confronted Grant about Rose’s comment. She claimed she simply wanted to"clear up things with him,“so she could continue her journey. She wasn’t trying to be one ofThe Bachelor’s main villains, and denied creating drama to hurt Rose’s chances with Grant. However, the other contestants remained skeptical about her reasoning.
Carolina Never Took Accountability
Despite sharing her side of the story,Carolina continued deflecting blame onto the other women, urging them to take accountability for their own actions. This includedThe Bachelor’s Sarafiena Watkins' distasteful remark about Zoe McGrady’s dress, even though Sarafiena had already apologized before Carolina brought it up. However, Dina was quick to call out Carolina’s supposed “accountability” of what happened to Rose, pointing out that she never sincerely apologized for her role in the drama.
“I’m so sorry that Rose is upset.”
That is not accountability, Carolina.
Rose supported Dina’s claim, adding that Carolina only apologized for exposing her afterThe Bachelor’s Litia Garr confronted herabout the impact of her actions. Instead of offering another apology,Carolina insisted she had already done enoughand argued Grant should also face scrutiny for his role. She stood by her belief that she had been unfairly villainized despite apologizing to Rose, feeling that no matter what she did, she was always in the wrong.
