Villain Victoria Larson, 28, was finally sent home by Matt James on last night’s episode of the ABC reality show after weeks of being at the center of drama.
Opening up about his decision, James, 29, told it was "easy" to not give “Queen” Larson a rose.
He told the publication: “It was an easy [decision]. When that information was made available to me about what was going on in the house, that type of name calling and just blatant lies and rumors is unacceptable.”
Victoria - who has been the center of drama all season long - was brought up next to Matt for being “mean” to the five new ladies who joined the show in a surprise mid-season twist last week.

Matt made it clear that it’s “not acceptable” to make anyone in the house feel “uncomfortable” with name calling.
When the former pageant girl responded that the comment was taken out of context, Matt asked when a good context would be to call another woman a “hoe.”
After she didn’t have an answer, the pair parted ways as Matt said he had some “thinking to do” before the rose ceremony.
After denying Victoria one of his stems, she broke down and said through tears: “I’m upset because I didn’t do anything wrong.”

Instead of doing the typical Bachelor goodbye of giving a hug before being walked out, Victoria stood feet away from Matt and refused to touch him.
“I honestly feel so sorry for you that you will listen to hear say instead of facts in this situation,” the scorned contestant said.
A speechless Matt simply stared back at Victoria without ever replying a word.
He later told PEOPLE: “I had no words. What do you say to that?

"I would have never imagined I was going to be dealing with things like I did with grown women. But whatever you have to do to make sure that these women are comfortable and you can get the best out of them and they can get the best out of me."
While being filmed leaving the house and entering the car to be driven to the airport, an outraged Victoria said: “He’s not my king and I’m still a queen.
“Matt is a jester and I feel sorry for his choices. The house is going to feel so sad I’m gone. I brought everyone so much joy.
The Bachelor airs Mondays at 8pm EST on ABC.
