BachelorNation’sNick ViallandKristina Schulmanappear to be on anything but good terms.
“I’m not surprised Kristina had that to say,” he said. “In fairness to Kristina, I probably wasn’t easy to talk to on my season with Kristina since she decided to tell me that she slid into my brother Sam’s DM before our season ofThe Bachelor.”
Continued Viall, “I don’t know what her intentions were, she’s just like, ‘Yeah, I slid into your brother’s DM and I was talking to him a little bit.’ I was like, ‘That’s super weird.’ ”
“I had sensed prior to that that she was just a diehardBachelorfan, and so it was quite honestly kind of awkward,” he added.
After Viall told Kimes, 33, he also didn’t agree with the ABC series airing a segment of the women claiming that former BachelorColton Underwoodis abad kisser, he disagreed with the comparisons being made between him and Stone.

Wrapping up the segment, Viall again mentioned his claims about Schulman reaching out to his brother: “If you tell me you hit on my brother on a date, I might not be the most conversational,” he said.
Several hours later, Schulman fired back against Viall with a series of three videos on her Instagram Story, and told a different story than what Viall said happened.

“And third,” Schulman continued, “you were the a—— when I was trying to talk to ‘your guy, your wingman’ and you sent him a message saying, ‘Dude, f— her,’ in reference to me. Like so disrespectful.”
“Where do you come from when telling [me] I’m the terrible person when in fact,” Schulman concluded her rant before pointing at the screen.
This season ofParadise, Schulman’s past relationship withBlake Horstmannhas been part of the show’s drama. The pair hooked up at Stagecoach months before the season, but Schulman learned on the beach that Horstmann, 30, did the same withCaelynn Miller-Keyesthat same weekend, which did not sit well with either woman.
On Tuesday’s episode, Horstmann decided that he was “all in” with Schulman, whogave him a chanceto prove himself during the rose ceremony. However, the arrival of Bri Barnes from Underwood’s season ofThe Bachelorled Schulman to all but lose it.

Although Barnes pulled Horstmann aside to chat, he stuck to his word and politely declined Barnes’s date card. She ended up going surfing with fellow newcomer Matt Donald.
Meanwhile, Horstmann desperately — and rather unsuccessfully — tried to reconnect with Schulman back at the bungalows.
