“Bachelor” contestant Jess Edwards is opening up about the situation on the show between her and Maria Georgas.
Jessica Edwards lit into Georgas on the show, telling her off and breaking into tears because Georgas took “Bachelor” Joey Graziadei aside for a conversation even though she already had a rose. As the rose ceremony was looming, Edwards thought it was unfair of Georgas to take more time when Edwards believes she didn’t get enough time with the lead.
This came on the heels of the conflict between Georgas and Sydney Gordon, which then spilled over into a conflict between Lea Cananan and Madina Alam over Georgas. But now Edwards is speaking out on her Instagram story, and she is also responding to a lot of fan comments about it all.

“We are watching this back for the first time as well and it is very hard to see things not play out to their full extent. Please remember there are many conversations during and after filming that only we are aware of.
