Victoria Larson claims she was “manipulated” into being the villain on season 25 of The Bachelor while competing for the heart of Matt James.
Taking it to TikTok:
The self-proclaimed ‘Queen’ wrote that she was “manipulated into being the villain” for the series. “I wanted airtime and to entertain during covid when everything was cancel culture.”
Victoria added that she “got death threats and hate mail every day for two years” as a result. In the comments of her video, she wrote, “Tbh it hurt that no one stood up for me in the media and had my back.”
“They were more concerned for their images and brand deals. In fact, Matt is the only one who spoke up to the truth of how it was.”
Victoria gained notoriety as a villain during her time on The Bachelor and, later, on Bachelor in Paradise. After being accused of bullying by her fellow contestants, Victoria appeared on season 2 of House of Villains.

Victoria apologized after her controversial season:
‘Queen’ Victoria apologized for bullying other contestants. It was so bad that Victoria manipulated Matt James into eliminating her rival, Marylynn Sienna, and had a starring role in pushing Sarah Trott out of the contest for the final rose.
She also helped spread a vicious rumor about the contestants, Brittany Galvin after LITERALLY taking the crown off of Catalina Morales‘ head. BTW, Catalina earned her crown as Miss Universe Puerto Rico, unlike Victoria who is a self-proclaimed ‘Queen.’
Eventually, Matt James passed over Victoria and chose Rachael Kirkconnell to continue dating. They broke up after 4 years of dating when Matt blindsided Rachael.
