Bachelor Nation Drama! What Went Down Between Victoria Fuller, Johnny DePhillipo and Greg Grippo

The Engagement

Reality Steve was first to report that Victoria and Johnny leave season 8 of BiP engaged when filming wrapped in summer 2022.

Still Together?

In August 2022, eagle-eyed fans started to speculate that Victoria and Johnny were still together following the show after he was spotted in the background in her Instagram Story.

Split Rumors

It’s unclear what went down between them. Blogger Zachary Reality reported the split, tweeting in October 2022 that Johnny and Victoria had “already broken up.”

Cheating Allegations

Comedian Dave Neal also reported in October 2022 that multiple sources claimed Victoria had “cheated twice” on Johnny. However, the reports have not been confirmed. In fact, Zachary Reality also shut down cheating rumors days later. 

“Confirmed. VF never cheated on Johnny. Ever,” he wrote on Twitter.

Reps for Victoria, Johnny and Greg did not immediately respond to Life & Style‘s request for comment.

Victoria Claps Back

“Victoria thanks those who supported her this week through all the stuff that came out,” @BachelorNation.Scoop posted on Instagram, alongside a photo of Victoria. She commented, “Mind ya damn business,” on the post, seemingly addressing all the drama surrounding her love life.

“She is not a happy camper [right now],” one fan added in the comment section. Victoria clapped back, writing, “No, I assure u I’m very happy.”

Sexy Comment

“Go on and put on that dress that all the bad boys like,” Victoria captioned a video of herself modeling an all-black ensemble via Instagram on November 1. Greg commented, “Good girl,” before deleting, according to screenshots from fan page BachelorNation.Scoop.

The Explosive Reunion

According to Reality Steve, the BiP reunion special has several explosive revelations between Johnny and Victoria, with Greg present for the reunion.
First, Johnny claimed that he and Victoria attended couples counseling for three weeks post-filming of the season. Victoria then alleged that he had called her a “stupid c—t” during a heated brawl and that he told her she couldn’t cook or clean and questioned her role as a woman, per the outlet.

Johnny then admitted he shouldn’t have said some things but vehemently denied ever calling Victoria that name. He then explained that he didn’t want to air any of their drama but claimed that Victoria threw a wine glass at him and told him that she was out of his “league.”

Reality Steve also reported that fellow castmate Tyler Norris claimed he was told by a reporter that Victoria had cheated on Johnny at a party in L.A. and that she had been telling people she was already single. However, she yelled at Tyler, telling him he shouldn’t be involved in the situation.

In an even more interesting plot twist, Reality Steve noted that Victoria and Greg were talking before she began filming season 8, but it wasn’t anything serious. Johnny would see Greg texting Victoria, but she would always assure him they were just friends. Later, Johnny found out via social media that she and Greg were hanging out in Italy.

Unbothered?

After filming the explosive reunion, Greg and Victoria attended a dinner party at franchise alum Nick Viall‘s home.

“Game night had all the drama,” the former Bachelor captioned a video via TikTok, which showed Victoria kissing Greg on the cheek.

Not Italy?

Victoria shared photos from her time in Italy, where she allegedly spent time with Greg after her split from Johnny. In a November 13 Instagram post, the reality star posted a photo of her in front of what appeared to be the Trevi Fountain and labeled the location as “United States of America.”

A Soft Launch?

On November 18, Victoria shared a photo overlooking the coast, enjoying what she captioned, “5 p.m. Aperol Spritz.” In the corner of the photo, it shows she is accompanied at the scenic view, however, the person is unnamed. 

In the comment section, former Bachelor alums and fans only added speculation that she was joined by Greg.

“Looks beautiful,” season 24 alum Kelley Flanagan replied under the post. Meanwhile, another user wrote, “We love a soft launch.”

Johnny Reveals His Side

During the Bachelor in Paradise season 8 reunion, which aired on November 22, Johnny spoke candidly about what went wrong between himself and Victoria.

“I started to feel not good enough for her. We started arguing and having fights,” Johnny said. “Rumors started surfacing. I really wanted to trust her, but I don’t know.”

What Victoria Said

“When we got out into the real world, there was a lot of concerns,” she said of her and Johnny’s engagement. “We had a lot of ups and downs and I expressed to him that I wasn’t happy and I was not going to be engaged if I wasn’t happy to be married.”

Victoria and Greg Go Public

The duo confirmed their romance during the BiP live reunion with Victoria telling fans, “Everyone can hate us if they f–king want.”

Subtle Shade

As the Bachelor in Paradise reunion aired, Johnny shared an Instagram Stories post that celebrated his split from Victoria as a “divorce party.” Victoria seemingly responded to the subtle shade on her own Instagram Stories, writing, “When you get called a ‘f–king c–t’ in your relationship, it’s time to move on.”

Greg Responds to Hate

Following a barrage of fan backlash after he and Victoria went public, Greg responded to the hate.

“Send all the hate you desire my way, but please leave my mother and fam out of this,” he shared via Instagram stories on November 24. “Enjoy your Thanksgiving.”

Instagram Official

Greg and Victoria made their Instagram Story debut on November 24, as she simply wrote “Happy Thanksgiving” along with a red heart emoji as the pair snuggled up close.

Johnny Questions Victoria and Greg

Shortly after Victoria and Greg opened up about their romance on “The Viall Files” podcast, Johnny seemingly questioned the timeline of their relationship.

After an Instagram user asked whether he would go on Nick Viall’s podcast, Johnny responded via his Instagram Stories, “Idk. If I learned one thing from BiP, the math isn’t adding up. #geometrybeach.”

Nick even responded to Johnny’s statement via his own Instagram Stories, writing, “I’ll ask you questions, and we can let everyone else do the math for us.”
