Hometown drama: Did 'The Bachelor' producers sweep Victoria Fuller rumors under the rug?
To be honest, this season's hometown date had one drama aspect and it didn't even involve family. Victoria Fuller aka Fictoria's Virginia Beach date story will be told for fandoms to come and not for the reasons you think. Fans are actually disappointed with the reveal and they think the producers kept them waiting for the episode, but left them high and dry.
It started with Victoria and Peter meeting on the beach. Pilot Pete looks so happy in this shot, unaware of the things a former flame will bring his way. The two go to the photo booth to get an "old-timey" photoshoot done looking super happy. Victoria then takes him to her favorite restaurant and Petey runs into his friend, Marissa, there and what she told him was a bit, underwhelming, say fans.
"There was so much more Merissa could have said. It’s not just that relationships broke up because of her, the tea is that at least two marriages broke up because of Fictoria," said a fan on Reddit.
"That makes a big difference...if only she had said marriages instead of relationships," said another, while a third one said, "My disappointment is immeasurable."
Merrissa Pence, whose face is blurred out for TV, says, "I don't think you deserve what you're on a date with right now. There have been many relationships broken up because of her" and "I would hate to see that come to fruition for you."
Now some unverified tea has been spilled about Victoria, saying she was known to have affairs with married men. Although Victoria has not clarified the situation, even on the show when she's confronted by Pete, almost all fans believe them to be true.
"I feel like more was said than was aired. He looked wrecked by the information," said one bachelor Nation fan, adding that there was a possibility Victoria got a lawyer. "I’m not satisfied only because she didn’t seem to address the allegations when Peter brought them up. I don’t care that they didn’t specify it was four marriages. But say something about it Victoria!" said another.
Fuller has moved on from the hometown dates, closer to becoming the final rose. Catch her next week on 'The Bachelor' Mondays at 8/7c on ABC.
