‘There’s a LOT you didn’t see’: Ousted Bachelor star Steph Harper reveals the surprising truth about Bella Varelis and Irena Srbinovska’s feud
The Bachelor’s Steph Harper has revealed some surprising new details about the ongoing feud between Bella Varelis and Irena Srbinovska.
According to the blonde beauty, who was sent home on Wednesday’s episode, there’s far more to the story than what viewers saw.
‘There’s a lot of stuff that you don’t see between Bella and Irena – so much happened,’ she told Now To Love.

‘I do think Bella was justified [in calling out Irena]. She had a reaction to something, and yes, she might have gone a bit OTT, but in the mansion, who doesn’t? I know I had my moments there,’ she continued.
‘I’ve had contact with the girls off the record and I’m aware a lot of stuff was said about Bella that wasn’t very nice, so I understand where she’s coming from.’
Steph doubled down on her claims in a separate interview with Pedestrian.
‘As we were leaving the mansion – we were on our way home – Irena had a bit to say to me about Bella,’ Steph explained.

While she didn’t elaborate on what was said, she did reveal that they ‘weren’t very nice things’.
‘I actually got a chance to chat to Bella when we got back into the mansion and I figured out that Irena had said a lot of things to both of us about the other person and it was all just lies.’
During Wednesday’s episode of The Bachelor, Bella accused Irena of ‘manipulating her way through the show’.

‘I think she’s got a rose because they do have a really good connection. I think she’s very good at manipulating and making herself come across as a victim,’ Bella said.
‘It just sucks because both of my last relationships have been ruined because there was a girl that’s come in that’s manipulated it. And she’s doing exactly that,’ she told the other women.
Bachelor fans flocked to Twitter to slam the brunette’s behaviour and labelled her a ‘hypocrite’.
‘If anyone’s manipulating Locky now it’s you Bella,’ one person wrote, while another added: ‘You used to be my favourite!’
The Bachelor continues Thursday at 7.30pm on Channel 10
