“She’s mine.”
“You should be afraid to speak to her.”
“He needs to stop playing with my things.”
This is not the language of someone in a healthy relationship.
Nor is it the innocent utterings of someone with a “harmless crush”.
This is a sign that whoever is the subject of such remarks should run.
We’re talking about Bachelor in Paradise’s Ivan, whose interest in Tenille surpassed slightly clingy to full blown terrifying in tonight’s episode.
When Australia first met Ivan Krslovic on The Bachelorette – he was painted as a loveable goofball who lived to dance and didn’t understand the anatomy of an avocado.
He was the guy no one took very seriously. The comic relief.
Until now.
Ivan’s behaviour towards Tenille – who he openly refers to as his “property” – has become a grave concern for viewers.
Fuelled by jealousy and rage towards her other suitors, his behaviour has rendered the other male contestants afraid to speak to Tenille for fear of a physical altercation.
But after an entire episode of Ivan circling like a shark, throwing a tantrum whenever Tenille speaks, looks or even breathes near another man… Tenille gives her rose to… Ivan
Why?

Beyond the fact that this is awful, inappropriate behaviour from Ivan, the makers of this show need to be called out too. How many people saw this before it went to air? Producers, directors, editors, there must have been plenty of people who watched this and thought that it was suitable for broadcast. Not to mention that no one at the time seems to have told him to pull his head in either. So much for all the ads trying to get people to speak up and call out bad behaviour, I guess that all goes out the window when there’s a buck to be made.
