There is drama and then, on the farthest horizon, seems to be Victoria Larson from 'The Bachelor' perched upon her throne, straightening her crown at regular intervals. The Los Angeles resident is currently on the popular TV show, 'The Bachelor' where she's appearing in the capacity of a suitress and the probable bride of the first Black Bachelor of the franchise, Matt James.

She made a super dramatic entry in the show, she was carried in by a bevy of men carrying her on their shoulders in an ornate palanquin. The rest of the girls who had already arrived at the resort couldn't stop gawking at her grand entrance and neither could Matt. After speaking to him for a minute, she made her way inside to meet her competition, and once there, she declared, "the queen has arrived, b***hes" leaving most of the women in shock.

They all knew she would be the one causing drama and they weren't wrong. Viewers of the show hate her guts, it's safe to say. Twitter is filled with comments about when she'd be thrown out. However, it doesn't seem like she's going out any soon.

If anything, she currently appears to be one of the most favored individuals despite constantly causing unnecessary drama in the show which has led a lot of viewers to believe that she's a plant, a paid actress who is doing it for fame as well as money.

On night one, after her dramatic entry, she made a beeline to find Matt and spend alone time with him not once but twice. A lot of women were in line waiting for their turn to speak with him in person but Victoria decided to show no regard for any of it. Episode 2 saw her unleash fury at fellow contestant Marylynn who she accused of being a manipulative bully and decided to go tell Matt about her experience.

Marylynn was summoned by the Bachelor and he asked if there was any truth to the matter to she was completely caught off-guard. She decided to talk it out with Victoria and even apologized if she ever felt hurt but Victoria shut her out completely saying she didn't want to be near her. All this happened after Marylynn had come out from a one-on-one meeting with Matt who gave her orchids as a gift because he knew she loved them. 

People who are watching the show have observed that Matt is not comfortable around her. She was invited to the group date where he took wedding photos with 18 women and Victoria didn't back down from causing drama over there as well. She decided to photobomb Mari's photoshoot directing the photographer to click her photos with Matt, calling it the royal wedding.

She didn't succeed at that because Mari chose to hold her ground. When the time finally arrived for her photoshoot, Matt looked like he had been forced to do what he was doing. There's a running joke on the Internet that says producers held Matt at gunpoint to prevent him from eliminating Victoria. Bachelor Nation fandom in its entirety believes that she's a plant and here are some of the reactions from the Internet that state the same.

"I feel like victoria has to be a producer plant or something. she’s so tacky and ridiculous and gives off the vibe that she swerved in here from 2007, straight off mtv’s my super sweet 16 #TheBachelor," read a tweet. "Victoria from the Bachelor is such an obvious plant from the producers. There’s no way anyone could be that horrible and vapid, right?" wrote another fan.

"@BachelorABC you have definitely underestimated the intelligence of the viewing audience this time with this chick Victoria... for sure she’s a plant and a disruptive element...Matt does not relate to her, no doubt a fix... do better ABC! You’re a disgrace on this one!" said another fan addressing her comment to ABC Network asking them to do better.

"I’m not here for producer plant ass Victoria. She’s actually the worst part of society. A whole Karen. She lying on Marylynn today, but she’ll be wielding her white femaleness to lie on other people in more serious situations tomorrow. #TheBachelor" wrote another.
