‘It’s the story. The story in the show is the main priority and all the people in it are the last priority,’ the insider claimed. 

Daily Mail Australia has reached out to Warner Bros for comment.  

Contestants from the Bachelor franchise, including those appearing on Bachelor in Paradise, The Bachelor and The Bachelorette have at times complained about what they perceived as unfair editing.

Speaking to The Wash, Bella’s friend Nathan Favro alleged the brunette has been ‘stitched up’ by clever editing this season, and that viewers haven’t seen a the whole truth of her feud with Irena Srbinovska. 

Nathan, who starred on Ali Oetjen’s season of The Bachelorette before appearing on Bachelor In Paradise last year, insisted: ‘[Bella] has been caught up in a feud with Irena and I can promise you, what you have been shown is not the whole story. 

‘She has been stitched up [by the edit].’ 

Nathan claimed former fan-favourite Bella is ‘upset by the sudden turn’ in the way she has been portrayed on the show. 

'You used to be my favourite!' Bachelor fans turned on Bella (pictured) after she accused former 'best friend' Irena of 'manipulating her way through the show' on Wednesday
