Devin did the right thing by removing it
Even though Devin shouldn’t have shared his private text messages with Jenni, he did the right thing by deleting his video. He chose to remain mostly silent during “After the Final Rose,” and it seemed wrong that he chose to speak out via Instagram after Jenn wasn’t there to answer him. While there are always two sides to a story, Devin had an opportunity to tell his side and didn’t take it. Showing this video after showing it was a bad choice and violated Jenn’s privacy because Bachelor The people informed him.
Devin should lay low for a while. He has been compared to the past Bachelor The villains of the nation, such as Tino Franco and Juan Pablo Galavis, who have destroyed his image. Fans who never liked him will feel vindicated, while those who defended him will feel foolish. Devin might be able to salvage what’s left of his reputation if he stays quiet until the backlash dies down. Bachelor Nation has rightfully taken Jenn’s side in this conflict, and Devin should try to learn from his constant mistakes.
