EXCLUSIVE | ‘I wasn’t a f**king angel’: BiP’s Victoria Fuller reveals ugly moments with ex Johnny Dephillipo
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: On 'Bachelor in Paradise', Season 8, Victoria Fuller and Johnny DePhillipo heated up quickly, but when Greg Grippo's name was tossed into the mix, trouble began to swirl off-camera. Victoria recently appeared on 'The Viall Files', where she dropped a significant bombshell regarding what happened between the former fiances and addressed the accusation against her concerning the wine glass being thrown.
Victoria and Greg appeared on Nick Viall's podcast to discuss the newest developments in their relationship as well as to address all the issues and controversy surrounding the 'Bachelor In Paradise' reunion, Victoria and Johnny's separation, and Greg's "rekindling" with Victoria. The host also discussed Greg and Victoria's connection before Paradise, the fallout after the engagement, only getting half-truths on major matters, and witnessing Gabby Windey's relationship with Johnny develop after leaving the beach. They go on to discuss the wine glass being tossed, taking responsibility, not confessing to uttering horrible things, and how their relationship was toxic for each other. Regarding Victoria's fights with Johnny, she acknowledges that she wanted to work on things in the beginning and see whether their relationship can work outside of Paradise as opposed to what Johnny claimed before.

Victoria noted that having been in a number of toxic relationships in the past had made her more conscious of identifying what was toxic in her relationship with Johnny. She goes on to say that one and a half months after meeting Johnny, she was shouting at him, and he was calling her names. Victoria addresses the elephant in the room; whether the wine glass was hurled by her, she takes full responsibility. They were on their first happy couple's trip three weeks into their engagement, and the duo was supposedly watching back his season with Gabby.
Johnny had a shaven face on one of his dates with Gabby, and he stated, "They would have made me a bachelor if I had a beard." Victoria was saddened to hear that as his fiancee at the time. She went on to remind him, without being mean, that he would not have been a Bachelor given she had finished third in her season but was never chosen as the Bachelorette. These things are already scheduled for the show. Johnny continued to criticize Victoria, stating, "coming from somebody who was known to be a homewrecker." Victoria says that in the heat of the moment, she threw a wine glass but not on him when she overheard him telling his buddy about their dispute. Nick asked Victoria whether anyone was in danger, and she said that no one was hurt because it wasn't directed at Johnny. She also stated that they received a noise violation during their stay in LA. Victoria addressed the issue with Johnny the next day and decided she didn't want to go on.
The 'BiP' reunion episode includes numerous dramatic disclosures between Johnny and Victoria, with Greg in attendance. First, Johnny said that he and Victoria went to couples counseling for three weeks after the season wrapped. Victoria then claimed that he called her a "stupid c—t" during a violent altercation, that he told her she couldn't cook or clean, and that he questioned her function as a woman. Johnny later confessed that he should not have said some things, but he categorically denied ever calling Victoria that term. He went on to say that he did not want to reveal any of their conflicts, but Victoria allegedly tossed a wine glass at him and told him she was out of his "league."
