Brooklyn Willie calls Christina Mandrell 'manipulative'

Brooklyn directly fired on Christina and said, "Her words and actions were kind of calculated, manipulative, and, like, she kind of takes the moment from Charity." Listening to Brooklyn slam Christina, Olivia also took her chance to defend Christina. She praised Christina and said, "My hot take is like, I love you, Christina." She added, "I think your personality is so bold." To this, Christina bent towards Olivia to see her and passed a smile. Olivia further added, "You're gonna say what everyone else is thinking." Clapping back to this, Genevieve instantly replied, "But that "bold" personality does not have to directly attack somebody else."

Christina claps back at all the ladies

Genevieve reminded Christina of what she did with Charity. She said, "Christina is saying, 'I'm confused why you got that rose', right? Because now that's taken away from Charity, feeling validated, for getting that attention." Palmer further turned toward Christina to ask her opinion on this. He asked the star, "Christina, how surprised were you with the reaction you got from the other women?" Christina replied, "Being told that you're making people feel uncomfortable when that's just something I've never been told before." She accepted her mistake and said, "I probably could have shut the f**k up a little more."

The star explained that she wanted to give an explanation to her co-stars that her intentions were not wrong. "What my mind wanted to do was do more, make sure people understand my intentions and that I am being nice, but felt like everything I did was just the wrong thing," added Christina. 'The Bachelor' alum claimed her experience on the show to be "hard."

'The Bachelor' Season 27 airs every Monday at 8 pm ET/ 7 pm CT only on ABC.
