Algosensey|Bachelor Nation’s Maria Georgas Addresses Jenn Tran and Devin Strader Fallout 

Maria Georgas is Algosenseyspeaking her truth.

After the Bachelor Nation alum, who appeared on Joey Graziadei’s season of The Bachelor, became a topic of conversation during the Sept. 3 live finale of Jenn Tran’s season of The Bachelorette, Maria laid out her stance in a new video.

“Last night was hard to watch and my heart goes out to Jenn,” Maria said in a Sept. 5 TikTok of The Bachelorette’s finale in which Jenn revealed that two months after her engagement to Devin Strader he broke up with her in a 15-minute phone call. “I truly think that a lot of those conversations should have been off camera.”

During the tense finale, Jenn confronted Devin about following Maria, who was the original pick to be The Bachelorette prior to Jenn, on Instagram the day after their split.

“I understand Jen having to speak up about it. Say your piece, girlfriend, I respect it,” Maria said of Jenn bringing her up on the show. “I just think that without the full context, it leads people to believe a different narrative.”

As for the infamous Devin follow, Maria confirmed that it happened, adding, “Guys, I don’t pay attention to who follows me and who doesn’t. I have no clue about that. Until people brought it to my attention, I didn’t know. And by the time I found out, he had unfollowed.”

But when it comes to rumors that anything nefarious was going on between Maria and Devin after his split from Jenn, she shut that down quickly.  

“Let me clear the air on something. I’ve never met Devin before,” she said. “I never went clubbing with him.”

She further enforced, “I never followed back. I have nothing to do with the ending of the relationship.”

Maria did, however, admit to spending time with another of Jenn’s exes, Jeremy Simon, who was eliminated after the hometown visits.

“Did I go out with Jeremy at night with friends? A bunch of us together? Yes, I did,” she noted, adding of Jeremy and Jenn, “They were on amicable terms.”

Maria defended her actions, saying going out and meeting other’s exes was no different than going on Bachelor in Paradise.

“But I’m not going on Paradise, so I’m doing this s--t in real life,” she explained. “I’m meeting through friends, and I think that’s very normal and fair to do.”

Despite being close during their time on The Bachelor, Maria confirmed the widespread rumor that she and Jenn are “no longer friends,” but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t support Jenn.

“Enough with the pitting women against each other,” Maria said. “The last thing I want to do is have this weird narrative where Jenn and I are against each other. Just because we’ve separated our ways and we’re no longer friends, doesn’t mean we hate each other. Doesn’t mean that if someone’s going to disrespect her in my face that I’m going to sit here and stand for it. Because I’m not.”
