Demi Burnett from Bachelor In Paradise is making sure no one forgets Brendan Morais' problematic description of her and several castmates by adding "disgruntled female" to her Twitter bio. The most recent episode saw Demi, Joe Amabile, Marissa Gunn, and others cornering Pieper James and Brendan, who ultimately used Natasha Parker until his actual love interest arrived. When Brendan saw the group approaching, he referred to them as, "Joe and his mob of disgruntled females." This did not sit well with Bachelor Nation, and Demi is ensuring his words are remembered.
For most of Paradise, Brendan and Natasha only had eyes for each other. Though rumors swirled that he and Pieper were an item prior to filming, he assured Natasha that there was no relationship. However, when Pieper arrived and instantly asked Brendan to accompany her on a date, it was revealed that he had been using Natasha all along. While Joe and Riley Christian later cornered Chris Conran after he abruptly left Jessenia Cruz for Alana Milne, the same support wasn't given to Natasha, something Demi was quick to point out. Joe and his "mob of disgruntled females" called out Pieper and Brendan, who felt it was a "pathetic attempt to intimidate him." He and Pieper quickly packed their bags and left on the heels of Chris and Alana.
Fans were livid over Brendan's choice of words. As their anger toward him blew up on social media, Demi, who is always excited to stir the pot, asked her followers if she should add "disgruntled female" to her bio on Twitter. The response was a resounding "yes," and now, she's proudly (and sarcastically) branding herself as this. One fan expressed their opinion that all Paradise viewers should follow suit and add it to their bio. Castmate Jessenia commented, "I f you do it, I'll do it," with a handshake emoji. Jessenia's Twitter bio currently reads "Dog Obsessed. Disgruntled Female."
Many of Demi's fans praised her for sticking up for Natasha: "I just re-watched and I am soooo freaking grateful for you, speaking up, speaking the truth... and working with Joe and the others to make that happen." Though Brendan placed Joe front and center in the effort to drive himself and Pieper from the beach, it was actually Demi who noticed the injustice. When Jessenia was left by Chris for Alana, almost the whole cast rallied around her. But the same wasn't done for Natasha. According to Joe, who later addressed the situation, he felt so strongly about Chris because Jessenia was more vocal about her heartbreak. He admitted to not knowing the full extent of the Brendan/Pieper/Natasha drama, and didn't know he should get involved.
Though Demi's second attempt at finding love on Paradise was unsuccessful after her main interest Kenny Braasch rekindled things with Mari Pepin, she should feel some pride knowing she achieved justice for Natasha. Viewers are pulling for Natasha to find her happily ever after. She thought she found a good match in new arrival Dr. Joe Park, but that quickly fizzled after discovering Brendan is one of his closest friends. In an interesting turn of events, previews show Natasha kissing former The Bachelorette contestant Ed Waisbrot. Maybe the third time will be the charm.
Bachelor in Paradise airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.
