Maria Georgas accused of fueling 'dumbest fight in Bachelor Nation history' by calling out Madina Alam's insecurities
AGOURA HILLS, CALIFORNIA: Maria Georgas and Madina Alam got into a full-blown verbal fight as 'The Bachelor' Season 28 stars discussed age insecurity. Madina who is 31 years old expressed in the show that she feels insecure about being the oldest woman.
Maria who is 29 did not understand Madina's insecurity and claimed to other women in the house that being older than Joey Graziadei is not a matter to be concerned about. She believes that age is something that Madina should embrace.
However, the fire ignited when Sydney Gordon said to Madina that she overheard Maria making "condescending" comments about her. Maria tried explaining to Madina that she was just trying to empower her to embrace age.
Later, Maria dubs the verbal feud between her and Madina to be the "dumbest fight in Bachelor Nation history." The age insecurity left the viewers wondering whether Maria was trying to belittle Madina by discussing her age in front of other women.
A fan wrote, "Maria didn't belittle Madina's feelings. She said they weren't rational. If anything, Maria is trying to empower Madina." Another wrote, "Maria is not responsible for Madina's insecurities."
Another explained, "Maria, I don't think it's a matter of Madina being older than Joey; it's a matter of feeling the pressure of being the oldest in the house, and society making it seem like she's "old" at 31 and like she has "limited time.""
Amid all the drama, fans believe the show is trying to portray Maria as a villain. One wrote, "This show trying to make Maria a villain when she’s the only cool one there." "Maria is being set up as a villain but she didn’t even say anything shady about Madina or anyone" claimed another.
One agreed, "Yeah Maria is definitely being pushed as the villain of the show. I really don’t think she’s trying to stir up drama but the situation she’s in is being blown out of proportion."
