AGOURA HILLS, CALIFORNIA: After the latest episode of 'The Bachelor' Season 28', the internet turned on Sydney, criticizing her behavior and labeling her as vile and toxic.

Many went as far as calling her one of the most manipulated contestants in the history of the Bachelor franchise, accusing her of being a big liar and making the show uncomfortable to watch.

"Wow Sydney is vicious and a complete liar. Leaving out fundamental details and context and twisting the truth is still lying. Sydney plays victim but she has masterminded this from the beginning. “Would you like me to cut off a limb?! Is that what you want? I, like, really don’t know.” She is the bully and starving for attention holy SHIT," wrote a user on Reddit..

"I’ve hated contestants before, but I’ve never hated someone like I hate Sydney. What an absolute loon. Her ability to manipulate those situations is scary," said one. "I second this, and her obsession with Maria is very real and almost scary LOL," said another. "I have to genuinely keep reminding myself with Sydney that there’s editing and I’m sure she’s doing this all for screen time and maybe she’s not this annoying in real life, but my god, on screen she is just so unlikeable," added another. 

"god sydney is insufferable to watch. maria would be f4 if sydney didn't make her entire existence on the show to bring down maria," commented a user. "Sydney’s shit — the words she used, the pompous and twisting things around, how others didn’t see right through it, etc… it gave me a visceral reaction, like this is supposed to be just a dumb fun show but it hit right on what MY “trauma dump dinner date” (lol, I wouldn’t) would be, after going through divorce with my ex. Recoiled. Appreciated the end with Jesse on a raft," commented another. 

Sydney accuses Maria of creating 'drama' 

In 'The Bachelor' Season 28, contestant Sydney Gordon accused Maria Georgas of creating a "hostile" environment. Tension escalated when Madina Alam confronted Maria over a comment perceived as "condescending" about her age, leading to Sydney's involvement. In a confessional, Sydney expressed frustration at being associated with the drama, emphasizing that she wasn't the one causing the issues.

Despite usually avoiding tattling, Sydney approached Joey during a pool party to share concerns about Maria. She alleged that after Joey discussed "bullying," Maria immediately attacked Madina. Sydney further claimed she became the target of Maria's aggression after telling her to back off, contributing to the escalating drama.

Maria Georgas breaks down after Joey Graziadei confronts her

Season 28 star Joey Graziadei had a conversation with Maria Georgas after Sydney Gordon shared some concerning information. Joey expressed his commitment to hearing both sides, stating, "I'm never one that's quick to judge about anything." During their talk, Joey shared the alarming words he had heard, including "verbally abusive" and creating a "hostile environment," making some women feel unable to express their feelings. He pointed out instances of perceived aggression towards those who spoke up. 

Maria broke down in tears, denying the allegations and providing her perspective. She suggested Sydney might be making accusations without explaining her feelings. Maria's emotional explanation prompted Joey to realize the need for further clarification. He acknowledged the importance of asking Sydney more questions to gain a comprehensive understanding of the situation and the accusations.
