After the latest episode of The Bachelor aired on ABC and featured Joey eliminating Sydney during their two-on-one date with Maria, Sydney posted the same emotional video across her social-media platforms.

Sydney started the video by playing audio of a couple of hateful messages she has received from The Bachelor viewers.

"You are a f-cking b-tch. You are a skank," one person told her.

"You are as low and gross and scumby as they come," another troll told Sydney.

Sydney appeared upset and distraught in the video, and she shared with her followers, "I know that was really hard to hear. That is just two of the thousands of hurtful messages I've received these last couple of weeks."

Sydney continued, "I didn't know I could feel this low in my entire life."

The Bachelor eliminee explained how negativity and bullying awaits her "every time" she opens up Instagram and TikTok.

"I am constantly reminded of all the insecurities that it took me so long to overcome. To hear, 'You're ugly,' and, 'You look like a man,' it almost feels like I went back to square one," admitted the 28-year-old vintage store owner from Newport, RI.

"I was told that I'd be better off dead. People struggle with suicide ideation. That is something that should not be taken lightly. That is not something that we should be joking about."

Sydney insisted that, as a society, everyone needs "to be better" and "do better."

The Bachelor eliminee noted, "We deserve better," and she continued, "It's important to be aware that words you use, they pierce very deeply."

"When you are sending hate to me or another cast member, you may hate the character that was created on the show, but who's actually receiving that hate is a real human being."

Sydney said that she "can't speak of details of the show," however, she confessed, "I can say there are certain things that I wish I did differently and things I wish I didn't say."

Sydney -- who recently posted a lengthy rant about gaslighting aimed at Maria on Instagram -- wrapped up her video by thanking everyone for listening, and she revealed, "I will be keeping my comments off to protect my peace and my family and friends' peace as well."

On The Bachelor this season, Sydney apparently interpreted one of Maria's comments about Madina Alam being an older contestant as malicious when it was intended to be supportive. Sydney therefore talked behind Maria's back and sparked tension in the house.

Sydney proceeded to throw Maria under the bus by telling Joey about how she thought Maria was a catty "bully" and a manipulative "mean girl."

Sydney told The Bachelor star, "She attacked me and I sat there and maintained my composure. She called me embarrassing, weird and dumb. I ended up walking away. I just couldn't be in that hostile environment."

Maria, in turn, denied the allegations and insisted that she'd never bully another woman, mainly because she had been bullied as a child and knows how it feels.

Maria thought all the gossip was ridiculous, and she told Joey that if he liked Sydney, he couldn't possibly like her since they're polar opposites of each other.

Fellow The Bachelor bachelorettes Allison Hollinger and Edwina Dorbor both took Maria's side in the dispute.

Allison claimed Maria was just "bold" and being herself, and Edwina insisted that Maria, although very "straightforward" with people, wasn't a bully at all and that Sydney was "blowing things out of proportion."

Jenn Tran also said on the "Bachelor Happy Hour" podcast that she loves Maria and thought things were totally blown "out of proportion."

Jenn shared how the house wasn't really divided between the two sparring ladies, although Sydney "had more of a team" behind her than Maria had -- which, based on Monday night's The Bachelor episode -- included Lea Cayanan.

Joey was confused about which woman was truly at fault, and so he gave both Sydney and Maria a rose at the third Rose Ceremony of the season.

Joey proceeded to ask Sydney and Maria out on a two-on-one date, and his heart and his gut was telling him to choose Maria. Joey therefore eliminated Sydney, feeling like he had a stronger connection with Maria and wanted to build on that.

Sydney admitted she was "shocked" by Joey's decision, and she said in her final words, "I don't think he knows the real [Maria]. She sucks. She sucks. It was hard for me to open up because I fear rejection, and that's exactly what happened. I'm going to go home, and I'm going to see my cats."

Lea then reignited the drama when she approached Joey ahead of the fourth Rose Ceremony of the season to tell him that Maria had allegedly been treating the other women poorly. Lea was also upset with Madina Alam for being nice to Maria following Sydney's exit.

Madina recently took to Instagram to express her own thoughts on the conflict and her big regret.
