Marcus Grodd - Lacy Faddoul - Bachelor in Paradise Season 1 - Discussion

Well it certainly is never dull in Bachelor land lately.

So he went from potentially wanting to keep it private to selling out his ex. K.

He obviously is hurt and has lashed out. I feel sorry for him but he should have kept quiet.

I believe his account and he probably did go public because she vanished on him. Still isn't a good look for him. What a mess.

You can say that again.

Since when did this show go from Z list to Mainstream ?

IMO Marcus as per his SM was trying to court her a few months ago, it seemed incredibly one sided and now we see that he is admitting it.

I don't see him as lashing out but that's just me. He's stating it as it is. He was the F4 on his season whereas she was the early eliminee so stands to reason that he is the bigger draw of the two and the mag went to him.
And what he says sorta lines up with what we saw here also.

Now this is the couple who actually should've went on Marriage Boot Camp.

I agree. A simple statement as to their relationship status would have been better. Just the same, glad one of them has finally fessed up. Hopefully people will show a little respect and let them have some privacy. Oh who am I kidding...

I mean the relationship didn't have a chance if after falling in love he joined the marine, that wasn't a good start. Imo

"After falling in love on BIP, Marcus set off for basic Marine training. But when reunited with Lacy three months later, he felt her pulling away from their relationship. “I wanted to move in together but she recommended that I find my own place,” he shares."

I wonder if she wasn't on board with the marine thing? I vaguely recall her being proud and posting about it though.

You're right. I shouldn't have used the word lashed. I do think he is hurt but he didn't say anything bad about her. I don't know why she couldn't have been honest with him.

^^ I think it's one thing to be publicly proud, but quite another to live that life, day to day. The minute I found out about Marcus joining the marines, it felt so out of left field. I mean, 2 reality shows, public relationship, to the MILITARY? It didn't totally compute to me. It sounded like a lot of stress to add to a new, baby relationship, one that came from TV. Lacy also did a couple reality shows. Maybe the military wife wasn't a life she was ultimately seeking. As a reality tv famewhore, I'm guessing not. Maybe Marcus was a bit lost in his own life to make such a quick decision like that, and Lacy wanted out for unrelated reasons. Who knows.

This is just one side of the story though. I'm not going to believe that she just disappeared and he had no clue why and that it actually happened. I think there's more to the story, but Lacy isn't spilling, which I respect.
