Spilling the tea…

Bachelor Nation fans are getting to know Juliana as she looks for love with Grant Ellis on Season 29 of “The Bachelor.”

On last week’s episode, drama unfolded when Juliana decided to confront Carolina about her negativity and intentions toward Grant while in Madrid, Spain. 

Now, she’s opening up on the “Bachelor Happy Hour” podcast about that conversation and revealing that there’s more to the story than what was shown. 

Explaining why the conversation went the way it did, Juliana said, “I think if you really rewind and watch the conversation that I had with Carolina initially and how I started it, I truly went in there with the intention of having a girl-to-girl respectful conversation and bring up the fact that her words and her actions were having a negative effect on the people around her because I did not think that she was aware of that. And it was in her response to me that made it feel and look more like a confrontation than what was ever intended.”

Juliana continued and shared some insight into her conversation with Grant when she shared her concerns regarding Carolina. 

“My conversation with Grant, like I said, there’s a lot of things that happened behind closed doors. And I’m not a liar and there’s truth in what I said,” she stated, “but my game plan going into the night was that I was not gonna bring it up to him and I wasn’t gonna bring it up ever again to the other girls. He wanted to address it and I felt it would be doing him a disservice if I didn’t at least present the facts that I knew. Not any of the hearsay, not any of the telephone, just things that I knew that had been said about him and his character, and how it was affecting the group.”

Juliana then expressed that she’s glad she told Grant and revealed there was more to the story of what occurred. 

She said, “That to me was true to who I am, so that’s just a little taste of it. And if he didn’t like that, then it was probably for the best of us that I went home. Because I’ll never not speak truthfully and stand on my own business. But I will also never poke my own neck into situations that don’t necessarily require my words. And I would never intentionally try to paint somebody in a negative light. Obviously things are cut and clipped as to the story that needs to be told, and that’s fine, and what was shown did come out of my mouth. I think that there’s a lot more to the story, but I was able to provide him some clarity in that.”
