Bekah Martinezis apologizing for coming after a couple of her fellowBachelorfranchise stars.
Last week, Martinez, 23, slammedTia BoothandColton Underwoodfor allegedly pursuing a relationship on the upcoming season ofBachelor in Paradisefollowing his stint vying forBecca Kufrinon the current season ofThe Bachelorette.(Booth and Underwooddated brieflybefore he was cast on the show, which Kufrinwasn’t aware of. After their historywas revealed, Booth made an appearance on a recent episode and reassured Kufrin that she had her blessing to keep dating Underwood.)
“Tia + Colton: ‘Yeah Becca, we’re both 100% over each other! We’re TOTALLY not planning on getting back together/probably engaged the minute we’re inParadise(we’re gonna get so many followers from this manufactured narrative lol),” Martineztweeted.
Her tweets attracted the attention ofRaven Gates, anotherBacheloralum who is close friends with Booth. Gates rushed to Booth’s defense, resulting in anasty Twitter feud between Gates and Martinez. (Gates ultimately deleted a majority of her tweets and blocked Martinez.)
On Tuesday, Martinez apologized for slamming Booth and Underwood.
“I woke up this morning realizing I regret blasting Tia + Colton on social media,” she tweeted. “Regardless of my feelings about the situation, a sarcastic tweet is not the way to handle it. There ARE less petty/immature routes to take, and I HAD promised Tia months ago I’d stop the s—talking.”

“So I guess what I’m saying is I’m sorry,” she said. “I got heated and caught up in what I was feeling and wanted people to hate on them cause I felt like the situation was unjust. It’s really not my place to be the justice police, as much as I wish it was.”
Martinez said at the very least, she could have waited until Booth was done filmingParadise“so she could respond instead of dumba— Raven.”

Underwood has yet to be eliminated on Kufrin’s season. Booth recently opened up to PEOPLE about their January fling, explaining that she tried to tell Kufrin about the relationship at the liveAfter the Final Rosetapingin March.
“I just wanted to make sure they would give each other a chance,” she said. “I didn’t want Becca to see our friendship as the most important thing and not give him that chance.”
“It would have been more complicated if we were an exclusive couple,” she continued. “That was never a thing.”

But at the end of the day, Underwood is “such a great guy,” she added. “I completely respect him. If it had been different timing, it could have been something. But everything happens for a reason!”
