The Bachelor's Maria Georgas has hinted that all the drama on Joey Graziadei's season will soon come to a head.

"We are all watching together at the same time," Maria, 29, wrote via Instagram Stories on Tuesday, February 13.
"Things I'm seeing are new to me as well and are hard to watch but please during this time, don't send any hate to anyone. Things will come to light as soon as they can. I promise you that, so just remember PEACE LOVE AND POSITIVITY."
Hours later, Maria added in a cryptic post, "It's funny when people try to be sneaky but the only person they're fooling is themselves."

On The Bachelor this season, Sydney Gordon 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 absolutely loves Maria and thought things were totally blown "out of proportion."

Joey proceeded to ask Sydney and Maria out on a two-on-one date, and his heart and his gut were telling him to choose Maria. Joey therefore eliminated Sydney, who was "shocked" by The Bachelor star's decision.

While the drama was airing, Sydney posted a rant about gaslighting on Instagram, and she also vented about having received death threats as well as "thousands" of nasty messages from The Bachelor fans.
On The Bachelor's special two-night event this week, Lea Cayanan 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 -- one of Sydney's good friends during filming -- 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.
In addition to Lea, Jess Edwards also butted heads with Maria ahead of the fifth Rose Ceremony of the season. Maria pulled Joey aside to talk when she already had a rose, and so Jess called her "rude" and "disrespectful."

Jess told Maria, "I'm not giving you my time," and then Maria snapped at her, "Grow up."
"You need to grow the f-ck up, b-tch!" Jess shouted.
"There it is! Stop. Stop," Maria clapped back.

Jess admitted she was "about to lose it," and she cried to Lea about how Maria was "awful." Lea agreed and just wanted to see Maria go home.
