Bachelor Star Ashley I. RESPONDS To Maria's Conspiracy That Nick Viall Was Behind 'Villain' Edit

Intro good morning everybody happy Friday it's Dave Neil standup comic and host of Bachelor Nation news in this video we've got a response by Ashley iannetti to The Conspiracy Theory she claims Maria has regarding uh a plot to make Maria the villain on this past season of The Bachelor now what I love more than anything is listening to Source material what people actually said in their actual response Maria for sure is or has been a little paranoid about uh the Sinister motivations of the show following a season where every episode they made her the storyline and now Ashley says we had nothing to do with it very interesting stuff we're going to get into it right now if you want to follow me on patreon I'll be live later on on our private membership only platform patreon.com davne and also on Instagram at DNE but let's jump right into this so before I share Ashley I's Ashleys Response response on The Almost Famous podcast which of course you knew they were going to respond of course she was mentioned by Maria unall her daddy which is one of the biggest podcasts in the world just to just to show you um as far as INF Instagram sizes go Almost Famous has about 23,000 Instagram subscribers or followers where caller that he has 2.2 million it is a global Juggernaut so anyway I'm going to play this clip for you right here where Maria explains the conspiracy she has now the question is does she use the word conspiracy or is it just her own paranoia let's have a listen want to hear something I actually actually have something to say yes this is actually kind of [ __ ] up so Sydney you know Sydney no so in the house oh the one that was the so funny enough no actually side note I don't know if you want to keep this in but this actually kind of like concerned me at one point so when it first started like airing I remember someone sent me a photo of Nick and Sydney together they were all friends because Sydney's friends with um Ashley I Nick's close with Ashley and Ashley's close with Sydney and they were all in a photo I'm like was this all plan no I'm not kidding besides all this right now I'm like straight shooter to you right now part of me was like was this all planned because I was like I did I knew I was innocent like I knew I was innocent hand to God so when this all started happening and then imagine dealing with that in the house and then coming out and seeing that she's friends with Nick I was like right because Nick had told you there's something conspiring here okay all right so she does say there is something conspiring here and you know sometimes especially when we deal with the bachelor Universe with everybody knowing everybody somehow or another you start to look at these uh sort of uh the confirmation bias where there might not be any you see webs but there's no spider so walk someone through that maybe didn't watch the show you're basically saying you're seeing Nick vial like tell you you're going to potentially be the villain then you're seeing Nick B all right so I'm not I'm not in charge of this Tik Tok here but there's some real Annoying horse sounds being made friends with the girl that attacked you the whole season okay keep this the [ __ ] in because you know what I'm not kidding I was this is my exact thought process I was like there's something weird about all this because it was too close like it was too close to home I was like this what was said and now this and this cuz if there was a if guys if there was a moment in the house where I can say okay I deserve that I would say I would not even begin to think about this but I was so innocent you want to hear she was innocent there it is folks and of course she was you know you might say well she played up the victim you could say a million things but uh the way we watched the tape Maria was thrown into a situation because she was the hot girl that everyone was after uh that they made her the person they wanted to tear down that's how the show works that's the story I'm sticking to now whether or not Nick conspired through the strings he can pull behind the scenes that's farfetched but you know when you look at it from Maria's point of view she is paranoid following the season where she goes wait a second the guy who warned me that I was going to be the villain is friends with someone who ended up hurting you know being the one who came after me now you might say Sydney was the villain not Maria yes but Maria didn't know that at the time at the time Maria was fighting for her life and character and who knows if she didn't fight for her character there maybe people wouldn't have supported her so much but she knew she didn't say what they accused her of and she wouldn't let them tell that type of story now my belief and I'll share uh The Almost My Belief Famous response right now my belief is that Nick knew she would be the villain because she's just got that Sexual Energy she's got that hot girl energy and the show likes to take that and make that the girl for the other girls to beat and um that's probably why Nick saw her as the villain that's like when a girl says oh he's trouble that's the villain it's someone who's going to cause issues not because of their own character but because they're going to be high in demand let's go to Ashley's response today is uh Maria has been on call her daddy that's been a big thing within Bachelor Nation call her daddy is a huge podcast and not many from Bachelor Nation have been a part of uh the recording the only people I know that have been on call her daddy are Nick and his wife it kind of has swept I'd say Bachelor Nation by storm just the fact that Maria was going on and she's telling her story um Tik toks have now been released kind of about the episode and the juicy parts of the episode yeah so Ashley uh tell us more well okay so she has this strange theory that like me and Nick were in on trying to create a villain out of Maria I don't know if Maria mentioned Ashley as being in on the conspiracy but Ashley was the link between Sydney and Nick Nick's friends with Ashley Ashley's friends with Sydney so were you she no I didn't even know who Maria was beforehand but she has this conspiracy theory that Nick and I got together with Sydney we brought Sydney to production and we're like hey this is our friend Sydney um she'd be great to take down the villain or something of so I think Ashley's making the conspiracy a little more centered around her but hey you know we're all the lead character in our own story I don't blame her for that the season I actually is kind of she needs to explain her Theory a little bit better but the the the reasoning that she had the reason that she had um a little suspicion was just because there's a picture of Sydney Nick and I from I think September 2022 when Nick came to Audrey's for his book signing and and then Sydney was Audrey's social media coordinator and she took a picture with Nick quick picture don't even know that oh yeah we um took her we took Nick and Natalie to her vintage store in Newport may have taken a picture there uh who knows but that was it Nick and Sydney had not spoken and have not spoken since this event in September 20 so I think what's more interesting though is that Maria claims that she had a situation thing happening with Nick I don't know if we can find it uh are Sydney and Maria's ex is together so that would be interesting does sydne are Syd does Sydney and Maria share an ex actually side not I don't know if you want to keep this in but this actually kind of like concerned me at one point so when it first started like airing I remember someone sent me a photo of Nick and Sydney together they were all friends and they were all is this a different story all in a photo together I'm like was this all planned no I'm not kidding besides all this right now I'm like straight shooter to you right now so I don't know I'm having a hard time to ating some of these different stories but as we watched yesterday we saw that um uh or maybe two days ago Maria said that she had a thing with Nick uh sort of a flirty thing they never uh maybe they never hooked up but I don't know look I mean look everyone can flirt online you're single you're flirting online whatever did she go into Nick's DMS did he go into hers that's really the question but either way you know Maria has etched herself into Bachelor Nation lore that's what's so amazing you can take Ben Higgins who is a lead you could take Ashley who of course married Jared and they've got their I believe second kid on the way and they they've all got their their sort of like etching into the Fabrics of Bacher Nation but Maria Maria's the hot new person I mean she's do call her daddy she's going to be enormous the she's going to prove that turning down The Bachelorette can actually be profitable 2022 he has absolutely no relationship with Sydney so if you're wondering why the heck Nick would care about bringing Maria down in any way supposedly the two of them spoke in like a flirty way years and years ago before she he and Natalie were together it was like dming I don't know if they ever met in real life but that's why Nick was like oh this girl Maria is going on the going on the show she's such a villain I think what she said in this Tik Tok in on the podcast was that Nick one time warned me while we were talking years ago that if I were to ever do the show I would be the villain so in her conspiracy he wanted to make sure that she was the villain and then hired this girl Sydney for the producers to bring her down it's not an accurate it's not an accurate Theory whatsoever Nick does not know Sydney in fact Nick thought Sydney was absolutely ridiculous on the show and called me to talk about you know how she is in real life so there you have it you have the behind the scenes now of the conspiracy for Ashley to bring down Maria it's like I and I also had no idea Maria was until Sydney got back from the show and was like so there is this girl named Maria there's a girl named Mar never met a girl named Maria listen um okay actually does conflate she does a pretty good job of sticking to what Maria said here but she does conflate a little bit because I did not hear Maria say that that actually was part of the plan to bring her down that and I also didn't hear them say that Sydney was hired to do that it just so happens Sydney had the personality type that fit into the villain role right I think that's what they do I think they cast 25 people with a couple with an idea oh they might cause trouble and then they have to wait and see how it all plays out now can they pick a v pluck a villain out of absurdity absolutely they can do that and cydney probably had a greater chance of sticking around as a villain than she would have uh just for you know um what's his F Joey's love right that wasn't really uh she wasn't in the contention uh you know in she wasn't a contender for his love uh from what I could see but either way interesting stuff here and um we'll see if Maria responds we'll cover this thing till the cows come home we'll be back with more content right after this
