‘Bachelor In Paradise’ Fans Are Calling Out Keira For ‘Bullying’ Alisha
Keira Maguire has made her grand return to Bachelor In Paradise and has immediately taken on one of the series’ faves, Alisha Aitken-Radburn.
On tonight’s episode, after hearing Keira was in paradise Alisha revealed that she and the iconic Bachy villain were not on the best of terms, telling the other contestants that Keira doesn’t like her. Alisha explained that Keira had said unkind things about her during the 2019 BIP season and when Alisha messaged Keira about it, she “doubled down” on her comments.
Keira made her big debut at the Bula Banquet and when Brittney said that she thought Alisha had something to say to her, Alisha interjected that they would have a chat privately. However, Keira was not interested and clapped back, “What are we going to have a chat about? I don’t even know anyone here.” Ooft.
Just when dinner was tense enough, Timm started whispering to Keira that Alisha had been talking about her all day. This just further proves that Timm is the messiest bitch who has ever lived.

Emotions were heightened later in the dinner when Alisha revealed she saw similarities between Jamie and Brittney’s friendzone dynamic and being strung along by Jules last year. With Alisha in tears, Keira decided this was the right time to quiz her over their beef. When Helena asked for Keira to lay off Alisha as she was obviously upset, Keira replied, “who cares.”
“I’ve just been told by a few people that you’ve been talking about me today, that’s not a very good character trait, don’t you think?” Keira asked Alisha, who appeared too distressed to respond. Again, Helena tried to convince Keira to back off. “Some people are just a little bit sensitive, I think,” Keira replied.
This is how I feel about Kiera being so rude to Alisha at this Bula Banquet right now.
She's so arrogant. Who does she think she is?#BachelorInParadiseAU pic.twitter.com/4LIaoiwyjv

They then exchanged words over what happened on Instagram, with Alisha trying to share her point of view. Keira was then quick to shut down the conversation, dismissing Alisha’s side of the story with a “we’re done.” Glenn then jumped in to defend Alisha (you go, Glenn Coco!) and the dinner ended without the conflict being resolved.
While Timm didn’t help matters by riling up Keira, the way Keira spoke to Alisha was pretty out of line, as were her remarks privately about a “pecking order” insinuating that Alisha is below her.
Viewers were uncomfortable with Keira’s attitude towards Alisha:
I really hope Kiera stops getting validated for her bullying behaviour. Alisha might not be the nicest person going around but this is unpleasant to watch. I don’t want to see mean on TV, I thought this was supposed to be a dating show #BachelorInParadiseAU

Kiera needs to back off from Alisha, it’s obvious that she is upset, don’t purposefully make it worse #BachelorInParadiseAU

Keira is just plain rude. Being rude and a bully doesn’t mean you “run this shit” #BachelorInParadiseAU pic.twitter.com/IGCLtI2len

If Keira was planning on ingratiating herself with the Australian public, coming after Alisha wasn’t the way to do it #BachelorInParadiseAU

A Queen would never need to announce they are a Queen. Kiera is a bully here to cause drama so she doesn't have to work and continue her career on the 'gram #BachelorInParadiseAU

Keira talking over everyone, bullying someone who’s crying, walking in like she owns the joint, and generally just showing her true colours #BachelorInParadiseAU pic.twitter.com/3cjET7cVco

Hopefully, we see more of the fun and vulnerable sides of Keira in future episodes because watching women tear other women down ain’t cute.
Did Keira forget that queens fix each other's crowns or what #BachelorInParadiseAU
