Former Bachelorette star Jenn Tran clapped back at critics who claimed she and ex-Bachelor Grant Ellis have left the Bachelor Nation franchise in "shambles."
"No, no, no, you guys are looking at this all wrong," the 27-year-old firecracker quipped in a TikTok video posted on May 13. "I was actually such an amazing Bachelorette and my relationship ended in such success that they can simply never find anyone to replace me because my season will be forever ingrained in your little brains and you're never going to get out of your heads. Thank you."
Her video caption boldly proclaimed, "Say it with me long live Jenn Tran the last bachelorette to ever cry tears on ur tv."
Jenn Tran responded to critics via TikTok.
Fans rallied around her in the comments section, blaming the franchise's issues on the producers rather than Tran herself.
One follower fired back, "Why are they blaming you instead of the psychotic producers? The franchise has been going downhill for a long time" while another chimed in, "Jenn has turned out to be one of the most dynamic bachelorettes! She's amazing but the men weren't it sorry."
A third comment joked that once Tran connected with pro dancer Sasha Farber, "ABC realized DWTS [Dancing With the Stars] is actually the best version of the bachelor/bachelorette."
Tran became a landmark figure in The Bachelorette as its first Asian-American lead in Season 21.
"Growing up I never got to see anyone who looked like me lead their own love story on TV. To be able to inspire a generation of people to be proud of their culture is something I'm so grateful for. This opportunity to find love as the Bachelorette is so much bigger than myself and I am embracing that whole heartedly," she said via Instagram.
Jenn made history as the first Asian-American lead.
