Bekah Martinez and Raven Gates battled it out on Twitter several days ago over fellow former The Bachelor bachelorette Tia Booth's relationship with Colton Underwood, but Bekah is now apologizing.

"I woke up this morning realizing I regret blasting Tia+Colton on social media. Regardless of my feelings about the situation, a sarcastic tweet is not the way to handle it. There ARE less petty/immature routes to take, and I HAD promised Tia months ago I'd stop the shit-talking," Bekah tweeted on Tuesday.
"So I guess what I'm saying is I'm sorry. I got heated and caught up in what I was feeling and wanted people to hate on them cause I felt like the situation was unjust. It's really not my place to be the justice police, as much as I wish it was."

Bekah sparked drama when she shared a Twitter photo -- initially posted by Reality Steve spoiler blogger Steve Carbone -- on Friday of Colton hugging Tia's waist while they were sitting on a bench together.
The photo appears to prove Tia and Colton went on a date while filming Bachelor in Paradise 5 in Mexico despite the fact both individuals had insisted to Becca Kufrin on The Bachelorette this season nothing significant happened between them.
(Tia and Colton dated before Arie Luyendyk Jr.'s season of The Bachelor began airing earlier this year, but all they did was kiss. The duo claimed they had split with mutual respect due to bad timing, and Becca only continued to pursue Colton on the show once Tia convinced her Colton had the best of intentions).
"Tia+Colton: 'Yeah Becca, we're both 100% over each other! we're TOTALLY not planning on getting back together/probably engaged the minute we're in paradise (we're gonna get so many followers from this manufactured narrative lol)'" tweeted Bekah, who became close friends with Becca on Arie's season.
Raven -- Tia's good friend from Arkansas, who allegedly went on a double date with Tia and Colton in Paradise -- decided to defend her pal after reading Bekah's sarcastic tweet on Friday.

"Hey everybody!! Make sure you follow @Whats_Ur_Sign_ so she can get those followers so she can stop talking s--t about her friends... like Tia!!!! And Becca!!" Raven tweeted. "Come on now hurry up!"
The girls went back and forth for a while until Raven finally blocked Bekah's account, prompting Bekah to accuse Raven of "self-contradicting bullsh-t" on Twitter.

But Bekah explained in her Tuesday apology, "To clarify, I could have still kept it real and spoken my truth in a less abrasive, less shit-stirring way."
She further confessed, "The issue is the way I handled it, not the content. Another thing I learned from this -- y'all are a bunch of petty, tea-lovin' sh-t-stirring just like me but what else would I expect from bach nation."
Raven, however, has yet to respond to Bekah's public apology.

In addition to Becca and Bekah, Tia also competed for Arie's heart on The Bachelor's 22nd season.
While Tia became best friends with the new Bachelorette, she butted heads with Bekah on the show. Tia and Bekah had their share of issues but seemed to bury the hatchet and become friendly with each other once the show wrapped in March.
Colton is still in the running for Becca's heart on The Bachelorette's fourteenth season, but based on spoilers he's currently taping Bachelor in Paradise, it's clear he's not the guy who ended up proposing marriage to Becca.
