The Bachelor star Victoria Fuller’s ex-friend claims she has ‘receipts’ to PROVE she ‘ruined’ marriages before the show
THE Bachelor's Victoria Fuller's former friend claims she has "receipts" to PROVE the star "ruined marriages" before appearing on the show.
Victoria was kicked out of the reality show after Peter Weber chose to give his roses to Madison Prewett and Hannah Ann.
After the show, appeared on The Bachelor: Women Tell All, where she denied Merissa Pence's bombshell claims that she has "ruined" marriages in their hometown - saying Merissa said it because she "wanted to be on the show".
However, Merissa says she was telling the truth and even has "receipts" to prove it.
Replying to fans on Instagram, Merissa wrote: "Unfortunately, it is true. Some people cannot face the truth, she knows what she's done.
"It takes a strong person to admit those flaws."
She then reveals she has "receipts" from "multiple" people, "Many of those who's life she's ruined."
Merissa added she went on the show because, "they have been through hell and back and simply did not want [them] to relive a dark time in their lives just for a reality show."
She continues: "This is simply why I did what I did. To speak for those who's lives and relationships have been ruined.
"Everyone is entitled to their own opinion but the truth [will] always be the truth and there's no way around that."
Merissa - who is ex-girlfriend as well - dropped in during a visit to Victoria's home of Virginia Beach.
She bumped into Pete and told him not to pick Victoria because of her alleged past.
Then in an interview with , she told them how when she first met Victoria, she "told me she was going to slash my tires because I was hanging out with one of her ex-boyfriends".
Also, she claimed they ran in the same circles as each other, adding: "I knew who Victoria was, as far as her reputation, but I honestly didn't know that she had done so much damage as she had done to our hometown."
She then alleged to that "Victoria had broken up four marriages" and alleged it had "started to become a trend".
Merissa, a former teen Miss Virginia, said she contacted Bachelor producers prior to hometowns week, and had asked for time to speak to her ex in the hope that "if anyone were to say something, I felt like he probably would listen to me versus some random girl".
However, show bosses reportedly told her there wasn't enough time to vet her for an appearance but offered her some potential off-camera time with him.
Instead, she says she "noticed that Peter and Victoria were separated" and so took her opportunity to speak to the 28-year-old pilot, with the moment being caught on camera.

That was extremely frustrating to me. I think that this is somebody who just didn't like me and she wanted to have a... I don't know why she did it.
"I just think maybe she wanted to come on the show."
