The Bachelorette Season 21 is already stirring up drama even before its premiere, with Maria Georgas unfollowing Jenn Tran on Instagram. This unexpected move has left fans speculating about the relationship between the two women, both of whom were contestants on Joey Graziadei’s season of The Bachelor.
Maria Georgas, a fan favorite from Joey’s season, was initially expected to take on the role of The Bachelorette. According to Maria, she was offered the position but ultimately decided to step down. This decision led to Jenn Tran being chosen as the new lead, a choice announced during The Golden Bachelor finale.
Jenn Tran addressed the rumors surrounding her selection on the Call Her Daddy podcast. She expressed disappointment over the speculation that she was a last-minute choice, emphasizing that multiple candidates are always considered for the role. Jenn felt that the narratives circulating detracted from her personal journey as the lead.
Maria, on the other hand, explained her reasons for declining the role on the same podcast. She revealed that despite the overwhelming support from those around her, she didn’t feel the excitement or happiness necessary to take on such a significant role. Maria felt it wasn’t her time and didn’t want to waste anyone’s time by taking on the lead role when she wasn’t fully committed.
Jenn Tran, the first Asian-American lead in the franchise, is focusing on her role and hopes to be a good role model. She expressed her gratitude and honor for being chosen and emphasized the importance of being herself and telling her story.
The Bachelorette Season 21 is set to premiere on July 8, 2024, at 8 p.m. ET on ABC. Fans are eagerly awaiting the new season, which promises to be historic and filled with excitement.
The drama between Maria and Jenn has sparked discussions among fans, especially on platforms like Reddit. Some fans believe Maria’s unfollowing of Jenn is due to Jenn’s comments on the podcast, while others think it might be a result of miscommunication or misunderstandings.
Despite the drama, both women have expressed support for each other. Maria stated that she wanted Jenn to have her moment and described her as the perfect Bachelorette. Jenn, in turn, acknowledged the lengthy process behind her selection and expressed her eagerness for fans to follow her journey on the show.
As the premiere date approaches, fans are excited to see how Jenn’s journey unfolds and whether the drama with Maria will have any impact on the season. The Bachelorette Season 21 promises to be a season to remember, with Jenn Tran leading the way as the first Asian-American Bachelorette.
