A Reddit user wrote, "I know Maria has met a lot of C/D list celebs post-Bachelor but to meet Paris Hilton?! That's crazy tbh! When was the last time we saw a contestant from recent years hang in social circles like this?!" Another person added, "She was on The Bachelor for fame only."

One critic noted, "I knew Maria was not interested in BN, I am sure she is great full for her fans to propel her to a life she always wanted hanging out with d list celebrities without putting the work of influencing because of her daddy’s money.."

Another user penned, "I'll probably get downvoted, but I really don't feel hype for either of these women." Another added, "I don’t get the obsession with Maria. The nonsense she pulled with Joey b/f he sent her packing was so juvenile. She’s very pretty so there’s that."
