Earlier this week, The Bachelor‘s Keira Maguire claimed that two of her fellow contestants Tiffany Scanlon and Megan Marx, were ‘faking’ their lesbian relationship for the press.
“They are faking their relationship…[don’t] be fooled,” she said during an Instagram Live video on Wednesday evening.
Tiffany and Megan have made global headlines after going public with the news they found love with each other – and not the eligible man whose attention they were vying for on the show – late last year.
And they’re not taking too kindly to the speculation that their love is all for show.
“I am actually so tired, so very very tired, of the accusations and slander from ignorant and narrow minded people,” Tiffany wrote on Instagram last night.
“If I’m not a publicity whore, I’m a slut or a skank, I’m a waste of space, I’m self centred, I work in a brothel, I’m a dumb blonde, I’m tragic, I’m trash, I’m an attention seeking liar, I’m fake, I’m trying to cash in, my relationship is a publicity stunt, my relationship is yuck or wrong, I should prove my relationship by making a porno.
“These are all actual comments that I’ve seen,” she said.
In response to the comments, Tiffany said hearing them “sucks” and “it is not ok”.
“No one has the right to place judgement or comment on someone else’s life especially when coming from a place of ignorance behind the safety of a keyboard,” she said.
She also had a message – seemingly aimed at Keira – for those who wanted to criticise her life.
“How does your criticism make you any better than the person you believe me to be? Go live your life and leave me alone to live mine!”
Consider the mic well and truly dropped.

Still not buying it
If you actively make money out of publicising your relationship (See: Lingerie shoot with partner in men's mag, among all the other photoshoots etc), are you really justified in getting shitty if people feel entitled to comment on said relationship?
Fact: It is highly atypical for people to so actively court publicity and money making opportunities from their relationship, particularly in Australia, and particularly if you are not famous for any other reason than the relationship. So....of course people are going to be skeptical and critical!
