On Monday night's episode of Bachelor in Paradise, Kira told Genevieve Parisi what she had experienced at Stagecoach in late April, essentially throwing Genevieve's love interest, Justin, under the bus by saying he and Salley had been "all over" each other.
"It was really weird. We're all just, like, hanging out, being friendly... And he was, like, just focusing on Salley [and] not talking to anyone else," Kira told Genevieve after Genevieve had expressed concern Salley may show up in Paradise and steal Justin away from her.
"He was basically ignoring everyone else there just to, like, mack on Salley."
But Justin apparently disagrees with Kira's analysis, and he slammed her Monday night on Twitter.
"Lmfao Kira was at stagecoach? This whole story is newssss to meeee. Anything for some screen time though I guess *sigh* #BachelorInParadise," Justin tweeted.
Justin's jab started a war, as Kira replied on Tuesday, "You ok, bro? We had several short conversations while there. Get some glasses and a better attitude."
Justin tweeted in response, "I'm sorry I truly don't think we spoke all weekend. Just odd to speak on and embellish someone's whereabouts and actions so authoritatively that you don't know."
But Kira argued, "We definitely spoke," adding, "And I was in the 5 person girl group with Salley all weekend so I know what I saw. Don't really understand why you're coming at me, but it's all good."

Also on Tuesday, Kira posted two group photos of herself at Stagecoach -- one with four of her girlfriends and another larger group shot that had arrows pointing at both Justin and herself.

The big group Stagecoach picture also included The Bachelorette alums Blake Horstmann and Noah Erb.
In light of some backlash from Bachelor in Paradise fans, who have accused Kira of gossiping and starting unnecessary drama, Kira wrote to her followers, "I didn't tell Genevieve about Salley to rattle her."
"I told her the cold, hard facts so she can have the full picture before she decides how she feels about Justin," Kira added. "Sometimes being a good friend means having difficult conversations. #BachelorInParadise #BachelorInParadiseABC."
Salley has yet to address the scandal and share her version of events, but a Bachelor in Paradise preview that aired on Tuesday night teases how she'll be arriving in at the Mexico resort soon.
Salley has been a mystery to Bachelor Nation since she only appeared in one episode of Clayton Echard's The Bachelor season and quit before making a limo entrance on Night 1.
The previously-engaged blonde beauty also sent her suitcase to Mexico without ever boarding the plane.
Bachelor in Paradise bartender Wells Adams poked fun at Salley's complicated and emotional journey to Paradise in a story he dubbed "The Saga of Salley's Suitcase."

Wells wouldn't confirm or deny how much of his story about Salley was actually true in a Tuesday interview with Entertainment Tonight.
Bachelor in Paradise's eighth season currently airs on Monday and Tuesday nights at 8PM ET/PT on ABC.
