In Bachie first this seasonBrianna Ferrante is team Abbie Chatfield all the way!

After Matt Agnew sent her packing on last night’s episode of The Bachelor, the former reality TV star opened up about her time on the show, revealing that despite keeping her nose out of all of the drama, she believes Abbie‚ one of the biggest threats in the competition, is copping way too much heat for her questionable actions. 

“I was always fine with Abbie. She’s very good with her words and very good at making a point, so for her to win wasn’t really a surprise,” she told 10 Daily. “She also already had a connection with Matt, and she’s very emotive.”

She also hit back at Persian Queen Sogand Mohtat’s claims it was the 23-year-old’s fault she was booted from the Bachie mansion. 

“I don’t think it was her fault at all. I think even if Abbie didn’t say anything to him, he obviously had a connection with her, he would have chosen Abbie,” she explained. 

“I feel like you put on an act sometimes,” Sogand straight up said to Abbie’s face. “At the end of the day, whether you’re being honest, real or whatever, we all want Matt to end up with someone that’s right for him. You’ve said certain things that have come back and bite you. So, like, just be careful.”

Bri’s sad departure from the Bachie mansion came at the end of a full-on day, that saw Abbie battle it out with Sogand following an incredibly intense group date. Pulling Abbie—who’s had probably the most time with Bachie Matt since the show started— aside, Sogand told Abbie to watch her back...

Abbie is either a compulsive liar or she lies so perfectly she almost believes in her own lies,” she blasted to the camera. “I’m over it.”

“I feel like you put on an act sometimes,” Sogand said to Abbie’s face. “At the end of the day, whether you’re being honest, real or whatever, we all want Matt to end up with someone that’s right for him. You’ve said certain things that have come back and bite you. So, like, just be careful.”

Last week, Sogand opened up about her hatred towards the frontrunner, slamming her for her “manipulative” behaviour and claiming she’s “putting on an act” to try and win the astrophysicist over.   

“I couldn’t hold back after seeing how Abbie was one way in front of us girls when the cameras were rolling, then another way to Matt. She is a manipulator and it is time I tell her how it is,” she dished to Sunday Confidential.

The civil engineer— who scored the first date with the hunky Bachelor— also revealed she wouldn’t normally associate with “people like Abbie” and still can’t comprehend her “malicious” behaviour which she says was the cause of “all this drama”. 

“I think she is very young and I don’t think she understands that some of us are older and can see through the bulls–t,” she claimed.

Abbie, 23, divided the mansion when she not only kissed Matt at the cocktail party but also broke the news to Matt about what now eliminated contestant Monique Morley had said behind his back.

Monique, a lingerie designer, opened up about her rogue comment after leaving the house, revealing she honestly can’t recall anything she said or did while starring on the show. Appearing on Triple M’s Moonman in the Morning, the controversial contestant said that being off her ADHD medication caused severe amnesia. 

“I actually have ADHD, if you haven’t noticed and I didn’t take my medication because I didn’t need to concentrate on anything. So I just forget,” she said. “If you said a joke a week ago and you’ve got ADD and didn’t take your meds, god help you trying to remember what you said.”

Despite denying ever talking trash behind Matt’s back, she has since fessed up to her wrongdoings, admitting her way of flirting is by using the term “dog c–t”. 

“It’s what I call all of my mates,” she began. “It’s kind of like a flirting term but unfortunately he wasn’t in front of me when I said it,” she said. “With five years of mining work, you call everyone that.” 

She continued: “It was something I said and Rachael and I were in stitches. He needs to harden up. Like, take a joke mate!”
