Internet calls Sydney Gordon 'wannabe victim' as ‘The Bachelor’ contestant reveals getting hate messages after being eliminated
AGOURA HILLS, CALIFORNIA: After Sydney Gordon's elimination from 'The Bachelor', she turned to her Instagram to express how she had become a target of hatred and negative comments immediately following her exit. However, viewers confronted her, asserting that the backlash was a result of her behavior on the show rather than unwarranted victimization. They argued that she couldn't play the victim after engaging in bullying behavior towards others on the show.
Sydney played a few audio clips from upset fans who not only criticized her but also went as far as dragging her family and friends and using abusive language due to her behavior on the show. However, she expressed that listening to these comments was difficult for her, and the overwhelming negativity was making her feel insecure once again. "When you are sending this to me or another cast member, you may hate the character that was created on the show, but who's actually receiving the hate, is an actual human being," Sydney shared in her video, regretting that she should've done certain things differently on the show.
But the internet wasn't convicted of her playing the victim card and called her out for acting differently now. "It’s honestly just insane how Sydney is going on Instagram to act like a victim. Maybe don’t bully people dude and you don’t get bullied back???" a user asked on X, formerly known as Twitter.
"Why are we playing sad music for Sydney’s walkout? Play the clown music for her PLEASE," replied another. "Sydney thinking she ate using therapy buzzwords convincing herself she’s the victim," added another.

Why did Joey eliminate Sydney?
On 'The Bachelor', Sydney Gordon found herself in a precarious situation as Joey Graziadei chose to pursue a relationship with Maria Georgas instead of her. The extended feud and ongoing drama between Sydney and Maria had created a negative perception of Sydney, ultimately impacting Joey's decision. The persistent tension between the two women had painted Sydney in an unfavorable light.
When the moment of decision arrived, Joey sided with Maria, believing her over Sydney. This choice led to Joey saying goodbye to Sydney. In a significant moment, Joey picked up the rose and gave it to Maria, symbolizing his commitment to continuing their connection. The prevailing negative atmosphere surrounding Sydney played a crucial role in Joey's decision to eliminate her from the competition.
Lea lashes out at Madina for supporting Maria
After Sydney's elimination, Lea expressed her frustration by lashing out at Madina, who appeared to be siding with Maria. Accusing Madina of constantly switching sides, Elea initiated a heated argument with her. Despite Sydney's departure, Lea remained fiercely loyal to her, defending her even after eviction.
Lea didn't shy away from inserting herself into conflicts and actively contributing to the drama even in the absence of Sydney. This behavior extended to her interactions with Joey, wasting valuable time and causing additional tension. The ongoing conflicts escalated to the point where Maria contemplated quitting the show due to the increased drama fueled by Lea's involvement.
