Let’s talk about Johnny DePhillipo and Victoria Fuller. They were a thing in Bachelor in Paradise Season 8. Their love story? It lasted a mere three weeks.
Johnny had something to say about it. When they came back to film the Paradise finale in November 2022, Victoria’s Neil Lane diamond was already missing. He said, “In that timeframe of stepping out from filming to that one month of being engaged, I started to feel not good enough for her.” He’s a realtor, by the way.
Then there were those “rumors.” Victoria and Bachelorette alum Greg Grippo, anyone? Johnny said, “I really wanted to trust her, but I don’t know.”
Victoria had her side of the story too. She confirmed that she and Greg were an item. But, they didn’t explore their connection until an October trip to Italy. That was after she and Johnny called it quits on their “toxic” romance.
She said, “When we got out into the real world, there was a lot of concerns.” There were ups and downs. She told Johnny she wasn’t happy. She wasn’t going to be engaged if she wasn’t happy to be married.
Victoria also had something to say about Johnny’s alleged name-calling. He’d called her a “f–king c–t” and complained she didn’t cook or clean. Johnny said it was a joke. Victoria’s response? “I know you know that to not be true.”
And those cheating allegations? Victoria had a word about that too. “I think it’s very easy to blame another situation and other people for us not working out.”
