Leaked texts between contestants on The Bachelor show infighting, name-calling, and a lot of drama between Tash and Jasmine. 

The beef between Tash Candayce and Jasmine Absolom has been one of this season’s most interesting subplots, but it seems friction between the two ladies is high even off the camera. 

According to screenshots of The Bachelor contestants’ group chat – obtained by Yahoo Lifestyle – Tash and Jasmine have been swiping at each other even during virtual conversations. 

“When did I laugh you f*cking idiot. I’m sorry you’re not relevant and didn’t make the Daily Mail like I did [sic],” Tash is seen saying to Jasmine in one message, referring to an upcoming plotline. “I was just shocked that [Jed] didn’t tell me when we have a right to know, but of course, you would know how production works.”

Later, Tash hits back at Jasmine calling Marjorie a ‘muppet’ for supporting Tash: “Don’t know who ya [sic] calling a muppet sweetheart you look like a squashed toilet roll.”

She goes on to say: “Jasmine you’re so weird! Please stop talking to me. I’m sorry Daily Mail don’t find you interesting or any of the guys on the show [sic].” 

According to the screenshots, other people tried pacifying the situation to no avail. “Perhaps we should move on from this conversation,” Ella is seen texting. “There’s obviously differing opinions and it might be better to agree to disagree?”

This comes shortly after So Dramatic! reported that Tash, Marjorie, and CJ were all set to walk out of the show thanks to the contentious partner-swap. The three women were reportedly not happy with Jasmine Absolom’s decision to choose Thomas Malucelli over Jed McIntosh. 

Absolom felt that following Tash’s brutal exposé of her OnlyFans account, Jed did not provide her with enough emotional support. Absolom also refused Jed’s rose during the rose ceremony – but ended up getting one from Thomas, which led to Marnie’s elimination.
