Summary

Happy Thursday, Shameless fam! Today, we bring you the lovely Bella Varelis. Whether you’re a fan of The Bachelor franchise or not, you’ll likely know Bella’s name after its finale aired last Thursday, when Locky told Bella and this season’s winner, Irena, that he loved them both. In this chat, we ask Bella about it all: From what compelled her to apply for The Bachelor, to the friendships she made and lost on the show, and the relentless online abuse she’s been receiving these past few months.
