The Bachelor contestant Grant Ellis is no stranger to public scrutiny, but it appears a recent comment from former contestant Tyler Cameron struck a particularly sensitive chord. Throughout season 29 of The Bachelor, Grant has created a stir with his expressed interest in multiple contestants. His connections with these women instilled a sense of confidence in them, only for some to face heart-wrenching eliminations, including runner-up Litia Garr, whom he famously rejected at the proposal altar.
Despite proclaiming his love and discussing their future together, Grant made the shocking choice to eliminate Litia. This decision caused quite the stir within The Bachelor community, igniting drama that drew Tyler Cameron’s attention. In an apparent jab, Tyler suggested that Litia was better off taking second place, which undoubtedly triggered Grant to unfollow him on TikTok, although Grant claims this action was motivated by a different reason.
Tyler’s Message to Litia
Grant Unfollows Tyler Soon After
Tyler, known for his charisma and charm, enjoys a substantial TikTok following of over 1 million, having been dubbed one of the show’s “biggest fumbles”during his own journey with Hannah Brown. Despite their chemistry, Tyler, too, faced rejection at the proposal stage.
In late March, Tyler shared a TikTok video directed toward Litia, welcoming her to the “runner-up club”and hinting that her circumstances, much like his, could lead to lucrative brand deals and public exposure. While his remarks were largely supportive, they contained an undertone that appeared to poke fun at Grant’s recent proposal to Juliana Pasquarosa. Following this, Tyler revealed his immediate unfollow from Grant in a subsequent video update.
In his update to Litia, Tyler remarked that she occupies “massive real estate”in Grant’s mind, implying that Grant’s unfollow stemmed from unresolved resentment. This allegation prompted Grant to clarify his stance.
Grant’s Explanation for Unfollowing
Grant took to TikTok to counter Tyler’s insinuation, sharing a video from his car with the message, “I really unfollowed you because of what you said about Kendrick,” as Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” played in the background. His remarks seemed to be a light-hearted jab at Tyler’s burgeoning country music career, as he concluded with a playful note to “stick to country music,” assuring fans that it was all in good fun.
This incident was compounded by Tyler’s controversial statement regarding the 2025 Super Bowl Halftime show, where he labeled it as “the worst halftime performance.” Despite Grant’s claims of a different motivation for his unfollow, some fans are skeptical. Comments on his TikTok suggested that viewers believe the unfollow was indeed linked to Tyler’s remarks about Litia.
“Grant and Julianna are more preoccupied with people’s opinions of their relationship than trying to pretend to be in love.”
Both Grant and Juliana have faced backlash regarding their engagement, and instead of disregarding the external criticism, they have engaged directly with fans online. Grant even posted another TikTok, suggesting that they are thriving while dismissing the negativity. In a comment, Juliana remarked, “We stay in our lane.” Nevertheless, their continued engagement with negative feedback indicates that they may be more affected by it than they let on.
Are Grant and Juliana Spending Too Much Time on Public Perception?
Grant and Juliana Should Consider a Break from the Spotlight
Given the ongoing scrutiny, both Grant and Juliana may benefit from stepping back from social media. While Litia’s feelings are undoubtedly significant, accountability should rest with Grant for his actions. Juliana should not feel compelled to validate her relationship through public perception. Yet, they continue to respond to and refute rumors.
To foster a healthier relationship dynamic, it’s crucial for Grant and Juliana to redirect their focus inward. In a landscape where public sentiment often shifts, excessive engagement with negative feedback can exacerbate stresses. Taking a break from the spotlight may be the most beneficial path forward for the couple.
