As a former Bachelorette, Georgia Love is no stranger to the franchise but the 31-year-old has called out Bachelor in Paradise‘s Ciarran Stott and Timm Hanly after their double standards on the “bro code” were exposed.
During Bachelor in Paradise, Ciarran turned on intruder Matt Whyatt when he went on a date with Ciarran’s ex Renee Barrett without his permission.
When Timm learned of the news, he sided with Ciarran despite the fact that Ciarran had a fling with Renee’s friend Jessica Brody.
With this in mind, former Bachelorette Georgia, who met her now fiance Lee Elliott on the show in 2016, took to Twitter and wrote: “What horribly unattractive people Ciarran and Timm turned out to be. Wow.”
To make matters even juicier, when fellow Ten reporter Tegan George replied: “Babes, do I have to ask for Lee’s permission to go out for drinks with you when I eventually get down there?” Georgia responded: “Yes. I am a woman so I am his property and he decides who I spend time with, obviously.”
Georgia was not the only person to criticise Ciarran and Timm on social media.
Comedian and writer Rosie Waterland took to Twitter to say: “Omg Timmmmmm and Ciarran are actually just the worst. Can they just go away together and get tooth whitening sponsorships on insta and talk about the ‘bro-code’ until they grow old and their tattoos look (more) ridiculous on wrinkly-ass skin.”
“Ciarran and Tim are just high school jocks from the 90s put in the bodies of Central Coast pop punk band members. F***in yucky,” another person penned.
“How toxic is the bro code? Women are not your property or your mates property. They are humans who make their own decisions,” a third wrote.
Georgia is currently in lockdown with Lee and her beloved cat Pawdrey Hepburn in Melbourne and the couple were forced to cancel their Italian wedding that they’d hoped to celebrate in 2021.
“We’re just planning as if everything will be OK by next year, but we still don’t know whether it will be. It’s also hard to do a lot of it when we can’t even get down to Tassie,” the bride-to-be told Now To Love.
“While it can feel really unfair that COVID-19 has taken over so much of the fun planning time, it’s actually really special that we have so much time at home with our partners to do the planning. That’s how Lee and I are looking at it, we feel grateful to have this dedicated time to plan and get excited.”
Speaking to the Ben, Rob & Robbo show back in June pre-lockdown, the reporter said: “We figured there’s too many ‘What if’s’ in the world at the moment, there’s too many variables. Even if borders re-open up, even if we’re all fine to travel by then, even if Italy’s fine by then, we don’t want to put it on our family and friends that they have to find the money to do so in such uncertain times with people losing jobs and everything”.
Georgia then shared the updated plans, adding: “What was kind of a dream is now just a distant memory and we’ve gone back to the natural next step of Tasmania”.
