Fans slammed Jess Edwards and called it 'karma' as she had stolen Joey Graziadei when he was having a conversation with Taylor Wiens during the premiere

AGOURA HILLS, CALIFORNIA: 'The Bachelor' Season 28 star Jess Edwards was recently left furious after Maria Georgas pulled Joey Graziadei away for a chat. Fans slammed the contestant and dubbed it as "karma" as she stole Joey when he was having a conversation with Taylor Wiens during the premiere of the ABC show. During the latest cocktail party, Joey and Katelyn DeBacker spent quality time when Maria interjected to ask if she could steal some time with him.

Although Katelyn didn't react at the moment, she went back to the villa and told the group. Now, Jess seemed to be offended by Maria's move after the same happened to her. She said, "It's giving disrespect on all f**king sides." Meanwhile, Katelyn defended Maria and noted, "She was very, very sweet interrupting." After Maria returned to the group, Jess confronted her and claimed that she found it disrespectful for Maria to talk to Joey when she had a rose already.

Maria questioned Jess "in what way" she found it disrespectful. Instead of answering, Jess stood up and walked away crying. She was furious because she hadn't had a chance to talk to Joey yet. She tearfully admitted in the confessional, "I just don't understand what he sees in her." However, the viewers called out Jess for dubbing Maria as being "disrespectful".

A social media user wrote, "Funny Jess calls Maria disrespectful & rude when Jess was rude and disrespectful the very first night. Apparently she doesn’t like the taste of Karma." Another person added, "I don’t agree with Maria stealing Joey already having a rose, however, this is Jess’ karma for stealing Joey from another girl when she already had a moment with him on night one."

Another critic noted, "Jess finally getting her karma and wanna cry…glrl byeeee." Another internet user penned, "Did you not steal joey away night 1 when you already got a kissy-poo while there were girls that hadn’t had one word with joey? @jess please stop talking." Another viewer tweeted, "If it wasn’t disrespectful when Jess did it night one, it’s not disrespectful for Maria to do THE SAME THING!!"
