After Bachelor in Paradise aired its new episode on Monday, Natasha Parker shared a few shady tweets to Twitter regarding the Brendan Morais and Pieper James drama. Before Pieper joined the cast in Mexico, Natasha was testing the relationship waters with Brendan. The two had been coupled since they arrived in paradise, and Natasha felt like they had a strong enough connection to make it to the end of the season.
Natasha initially wondered about Brendan's intentions with her after he accepted a date with Demi Burnett. She thought they had enough chemistry that he wouldn't be thinking about dating another woman. However, after Brendan returned from his date with Demi, he told Natasha that he wasn't able to connect with Demi, who stole Mari's birthday cake idea, the same way he did with her. Despite reassuring Natasha, things changed after Pieper entered the resort and asked Brendan on a date.
After the new episode of the ABC reality series had aired, Natasha shared a few tweets aimed at the Brendan and Pieper drama. The reality star retweeted a post from a fan who shared the two new Instagram posts shared by Brendan and Pieper. Brendan shared a photo of himself with the caption, "Here for the wrong reasons," while Pieper shared a series of snaps of herself with the caption, "All's fair in love and war." The fan then added to the two posts, "The level of disrespect, I can't."
Brendan and Pieper had dated prior to joining BIP and basically confirmed they came on the show to gain followers. Natasha, from Peter Weber's season of The Bachelor, felt like she was a pawn in their game and was used to gain clout from the ABC series. Throughout the night, Natasha continued to call the couple out on their bad behavior on Twitter. The podcast host retweeted another fan's post, calling Brendan out for gaslighting her during their private chat after his date. Natasha, who was also live-tweeting the show, was just as shocked as fans were by the conversation Brendan and Pieper had during their one-on-one date. She was shocked when Pieper said they could "pick up where we left off" and didn't appreciate being referred to as "heavy lifting." At a certain point, Natasha said she "can’t even watch this bs" after putting in so much time and effort into her relationship with Brendan. Brendan and Pieper were rumored to be dating prior to joining Paradise, but Brendan always played it off as causal.
Natasha felt betrayed by Brendan after he abruptly ended their relationship to pursue a romance with Pieper. It was clear to both Natasha and the audience that Brendan and Pieper were using the show to gain notoriety rather than love, seeing as they found each other before the show even started filming. It will be interesting to see how the rest of the season plays out.
Bachelor in Paradise airs Mondays and Tuesdays at 8 p.m EST on ABC.
