Apparently Bella’s Savage Post-Breakup Rant Was Edited Out Of ‘The Bachelor’ Finale
We can all agree that the highlight of The Bachelor finale was Bella’s ice cold reaction to Locky dumping her, where she legit asked to him “Can I leave?”. Absolutely savage energy and I’m still obsessed.
While we saw some of Bella’s reaction to Locky choosing Irena, So Dramatic! (aka the always reliable podcast to fill in the blanks) is claiming that what we saw barely scratched the surface of what Bella actually said. “There was a lot of shit that was cut out from Bella and Locky’s exchange from the rejection. There was a lot left of the editing floor,” host Megan Pustetto said.
Pustetto then claimed that at the final rose ceremony, Bella put “Locky and Irena on blast big time” after Bella was rejected by Locky. “She told Locky he was a hypocrite, that he had lied to her, he had no values, no moral backbone, [and that] he led her along. And she also went on a rant about Irena, claiming that she had manipulated him, lied to him, and lied to the girls the whole time.”
“She finished it off by saying that they both deserved each other and that’s when she said ‘Can I leave now?'”

The podcast host speculated that this rant was cut from the final episode to protect the winning couple. “Producers obviously cut it all out, they deprived us, because it would have made Locky and Irena both look bad and would have made us question their integrity. I guess we can’t have the winning couple look bad, can we?”
We have contacted Channel 10 regarding the claims that Bella’s full response was cut from the episode.
Later in the podcast, Pustetto also quoted Izzy, who backed up what Bella had said regarding Irena in the Bachy mansion. “I didn’t like Bella at the start of the show because Irena had said she was strategic and already thought she was going to end up with Locky. As things went on, I started to realise that Irena would lie or exaggerate the truth about random, insignificant things. She said she could speak 11 languages fluently by the time she was nine,” Izzy said.
“I don’t think she intended to be malicious but I think she wanted people to like her, over Bella, out of her own insecurities.”
Whether you’re Team Bella or Team Irena, it might be time to put this petty feud to bed.
