Litia seemed stunned since Grant had been telling her early on that she would be his final choice. According to Litia, Grant “raised the stakes"each week by making promises to her, and even telling her mom he was going to ask Litia to be his wife. Litia was understandably upset, telling Grant before she exited the show, “For me, the switch-up is crazy. I’m disappointed. I just want to be so clear that I’m confused, and I’m sad, and I’m mad.”

Apparently, since that interview,Juliana had a change of heart and did watch the season finale. Juliana appeared on the April 1 episode ofThe Viall Filespodcast, and she had a lot to say about how the season ended and the responses from the women on the season towards her.US Weeklyreported that Juliana said she was “most hurt” by Litia’s comments after the show.

“I think my feelings were the most hurt by Litia. I don’t think that that was expected in any capacity. I think we’ve talked between filming and even when this whole show was airing. I did my best to check in with her. I thought there was a good relationship but it seems like actions sinceAFR[After The Final Rose] and moving forward have not been the kindest and that took me by surprise and my feelings were hurt by it for sure.”

Juliana’s comments were in response to host Nick Viall’s questioning of her relationship status with some of the women from the show. Juliana accused Litia of fostering a “mean girl” negativity towards Juliana, which she said she didn’t expect. When a lot of the women from Grant’s season showed up for theAfter The Final Roseshow in support of Litia, Juliana said she finally started to understand.

“I wasn’t super reached out to by a lot of the girls that I, maybe, thought I would have been reached out to by. I think when theAFRcame and I had reached out to a few girls from my season that were gonna come to the actual live filming of it, I was told that they were coming in support of Litia. I was like, ‘Oh s*** I didn’t know sides were being taken like that.’ I tried to phrase it in a way that was like, ‘The more the merrier.’ That’s when I think I kind of learned the reality.”

Carolina Quixano Says Juliana Tried To “Stir The Pot”

Carolina Looks Back At Encounter With Suspicion Now

Carolina Sofia Quixano was a notorious contestant this season.I was initially convinced Grant would choose Carolina in the endsince her storyline dominated most of the season early on. Carolina was eventually sent home just before the show’s hometown dates, but she hasn’t been quiet since then. She appeared on theWomen Tell Allspecial and tried to defend her actions throughout the season, but she was still painted as the villain of the season.

The Bachelor’s Carolina Sofia is always entwined with drama, but her villain edit may not be deserved. Did producers push her to cross boundaries?

Carolina recently sat down for an interview with theBachelor Happy Hourpodcast to tell her side of the story. On the podcast, Carolina reflected on a moment during the season when Juliana pulled her aside to ask her why she was still competing for Grant if she had so many insecurities about their connection.US Weeklyreported that Carolina said:

“I was surprised about the topic of the conversation. I was not surprised that Juliana was trying to stir the pot, which is why I was, like, trying to shut it down. I was like, you’re not going to catch me fighting another woman on TV. I was just like, ‘I’m bored.’ Like, I don’t want to be a part of this.”

Is Juliana A Villain After Getting Engaged To Grant?

Juliana Is Defending Her Relationship

The concept ofThe Bacheloris designed to ensure that there’s one “winner” and multiple “losers,” so it’s natural to have hurt feelings after it’s all over. There’s bound to be some sadness when emotions are this high. In my opinion,Juliana isn’t the villain of the season;she’s just the one the other women can blame because she ended up engaged to Grant.

Juliana is now defending her and Grant’s relationshipbecause of the way he ended things with Litia.I think it’s normal for Juliana to defend her manbecause she’s in love with him and is ready to start their journey together away from the show. What goes on between them behind closed doors is their business, and unless they break up, it’s unlikely fans will hear more about some of the inner workings of their relationship, including how Juliana feels about Grant and Litia’s would-be relationship.
