Well, there's some Bachelor/Bachelorette/Bachelor in Paradise drama happening right now,! And it's messy AF (what's new!?), so let's dive in and try to understand why everyone's manufacturing drama and we're falling for it!

Here's the dealio: former Bachelor contestant Bekah Martinez watched The Bachelorette episode where Becca Kufrin confronted Colton Underwood about his relationship with former Bachelor contestant Tia Booth. (Remember, Becca, Bekah, and Tia were all on the same season.)

Both Colton and Tia say they've totally moved on — but Bekah doesn't think so! So, of course, she took to Twitter to get started:

“Tia+Colton: ‘yeah Becca, we’re both 100% over each other! we’re TOTALLY not planning on getting back together/probably engaged the minute we’re in paradise (we’re gonna get so many followers from this manufactured narrative lol)’” she wrote. Both Colton and Tia are believed to be filming for Bachelor in Paradise's fifth season at present — make of that what you will regarding Colton's chances on the show!

OH SHIT!

Fellow alum (but from Bachelor Nick Viall's season) and Tia’s BFF, Raven Gates, came out swinging to defend her bestie. In a series of now deleted tweets, Raven went IN — accusing Bekah of manufacturing drama to up her Twitter follower count.

"Hey everybody!! Make sure you follow @Whats_Ur_Sign_ so she can get those followers so she can stop talking s--t about her friends…like Tia!!!! And Becca!!" she tweeted. "Come on now hurry up!"



Bekah then shot back, "Girl I would never talk s--t on Becca because she's as real as it gets. That's the reason I tweeted that thing about Colton and Tia in the first place, because it looked like they both played her on this one."

"You know that Tia didn't," Raven responded. "And you're entitled to your opinion. I don't like the situation either, but if you said you'd stop bashing Tia, then you should keep your word."

THEN! Raven deleted her tweets, and according to Bekah, blocked her.

AND THEN! Raven tweeted: "How can people be so full of hate all of the time? Aren't you tired?? How can you hate on your 'friends' constantly??"

AND THEN! There's more! Bekah replied, "Why'd you delete your first tweet that was directly aimed at me? Why don't you just @ me?"

Finally, Raven tweeted:

Just so you guys know, Bekah tweeted something rude & unnecessary to create drama & I went to stick up for my friend who can’t respond right now. I decided to delete the tweets & I blocked her bc I don’t want to keep engaging with someone who will continuously drag her “friends.” — Raven Gates (@ravengates) June 16, 2018

And that's all the drama I can care about for a weekend.

Update 6/20: Bekah has tweeted an apology — not for calling Tia and Colton's showmance out per se, but for the manner in which she did so. "I could have still kept it real and spoken my truth in a less abrasive, less shit-stirring way," she wrote, and sure, but what's the fun in that!?

I woke up this morning realizing I regret blasting Tia+Colton on social media. Regardless of my feelings about the situation, a sarcastic tweet is not the way to handle it. There ARE less petty/immature routes to take, and I HAD promised Tia months ago I’d stop the shit-talking. — bekah martinez ♡ (@whats_ur_sign_) June 19, 2018

So I guess what I’m saying is I’m sorry. I got heated and caught up in what I was feeling and wanted people to hate on them cause I felt like the situation was unjust. It’s really not my place to be the justice police, as much as I wish it was. — bekah martinez ♡ (@whats_ur_sign_) June 19, 2018

To clarify, I could have still kept it real and spoken my truth in a less abrasive, less shit-stirring way. The issue is the way I handled it, not the content. — bekah martinez ♡ (@whats_ur_sign_) June 19, 2018

another thing I learned from this— y’all are a bunch of petty, tea-lovin’ shit-stirrers just like me 😂 but what else would I expect from bach nation? ❤️ — bekah martinez ♡ (@whats_ur_sign_) June 19, 2018
