"Lied, deceived, and bamboozled" - The Bachelor fans stand up for Litia after Grant chose Julianna

Grant Ellis and Litia Garr broke up on The Bachelor season 29 finale, and it has caused an uproar among fans who are siding with her. As she stepped on the podium and delivered her final speech to him, Grant broke her heart by telling her he had a stronger connection with Juliana and wanted to pursue that.

This felt blindsided to Litia, who thought she was his number one because that is what he had been telling her all this time.

Litia expressed how she feels led on by Grant until the finale because he made empty promises and then switched up at the end. She did not hesitate to say that he was "different" from what she had expected him to be.

She revealed being "confused," "sad," and "mad" over all of this because she was sure of their relationship and trusted Grant when he expressed his love for her.

As for The Bachelor fans, they are furious at Grant as well. No shade is being thrown at Juliana, though, which should be noted, the fans are just angry at how Grant handled Litia's emotions and led her on. One fan on Twitter commented,

"All I know is, when they run back #TheBachelorette, Litia better be the No. 1 choice. My good sis deserves to find her person after being lied, deceived, and bamboozled by that man."

"You can hate Litia and LOVE Julianna idc, but you CANNOT tell me what Grant did to Litia wasn’t shady. He led her on up to the very last moment, and now Julianna has to watch how much he loved Litia and told her she was the one too," expressed another fan.

Another fan, using sarcasm, mocked Grant's reaction when he rejected Litia and she got back at him. They said,

"'litia is showing a different side of herself' no shit, she just got played on national tv after being misled on being someone’s number one. Is she supposed to be crying and begging to be with him like a bird?"

The Bachelor Season 29 - Grant and Litia's journey

Grant and Litia started dating on The Bachelor and instantly formed a connection. There was a minor setback in the early episodes when she revealed she was a Mormon and hoped to marry in the same faith.

The fans claim that their chemistry was top-notch and that she was a perfect woman for Grant.

Even during the Bachelor finale episode, Grant was sure that Litia would be his wife. Talking to the cameras at the beginning, he said,

"I picture Litia being my wife. Litia is loving, patient, and kind. Obviously, she's beautiful, and she's ready. I think my family's going to love Litia."

Then, when she met his entire family on The Bachelor, which hadn't been together in the same room for a decade, Litia seemed to have formed a connection with each of them. His mother, Renee, even remarked how she was "very humble" and "genuine" and "would make a great daughter-in-law."

Litia constantly talked about kids with his family and how much she hopes to have some in two years. It is because of her biological clock, and thus, she hopes to have kids by 33.

However, Grant was not sure about the whole thing as he wanted to travel after their engagement and marriage. When he discussed these issues with his father, Grant's dad said that he needs to be flexible in a relationship because things do not always go as they are being planned.

Until the last moment on The Bachelor, Grant had been sure of Litia and told her multiple times that he loved her. This shocked her when she was not picked at the end.
