Reality TV fans are still picking their jaws up off the floor after The Bachelor star Litia Garr made a shocking and unfiltered confession about her time on the show. During a recent podcast appearance, the outspoken beauty revealed that she had sex “many times” with Bachelor Grant Ellis—during filming.
The revelation, which breaks the long-standing illusion of the show’s slow-burn, chaste love stories, has sent fans into a frenzy online and has many wondering what really goes on behind the cameras of one of television’s most popular dating franchises.
"It Wasn’t Just One Time" — Litia Gets Real
Speaking with striking honesty, Litia didn’t hold back as she detailed the nature of her relationship with Grant while the cameras were rolling.
“People are going to judge me, but I don’t really care,” she said. “Yes, Grant and I had sex—many times—during the show. It wasn’t just one time in the Fantasy Suite. It was throughout filming. There was a real connection, and things just happened naturally.”
According to Litia, their chemistry was undeniable from the start, and while producers might try to shape a certain narrative for viewers at home, she says the truth is often far steamier than what makes it to air.
“We were adults who were really into each other. That’s the truth. And I’m not ashamed of that.”
Fans React With Shock and Curiosity
The confession has rocked Bachelor Nation, sparking thousands of social media reactions ranging from stunned disbelief to praise for Litia’s candor.
“She’s either the realest contestant we’ve ever had or the wildest. Maybe both,” one fan wrote on X (formerly Twitter).
“This changes everything I thought I knew about this season,” another commented on a Bachelor Reddit thread. “How did the producers keep this under wraps??”
Many fans are now revisiting key episodes, scrutinizing every look and touch between Litia and Grant for clues that the two were far more intimate than we realized.
Breaking the “Bachelor” Rules
Traditionally, The Bachelor limits physical intimacy to the much-hyped Fantasy Suite episodes, which come near the end of the season when just a few women remain. But over the years, rumors have circulated that contestants and leads sometimes sneak around the rules—and the cameras.
What makes Litia’s confession so groundbreaking is that she’s one of the first contestants to speak about it openly and without shame.
“Why should I lie or pretend like it didn’t happen?” she said during the podcast. “It was real. We were both there, both into it, and we weren’t doing anything wrong.”
Where Does This Leave Grant Ellis?
So far, Grant Ellis has remained silent on Litia’s claims, but fans are eager to hear his side of the story. If her confession is true—and many believe it is—it raises questions about his relationships with other women on the show and how genuine those connections really were.
One source close to production hinted that some of the crew “definitely knew” what was happening, but “kept it quiet to protect the narrative.”
“This isn’t the first time something like this has happened,” the source said. “But usually, it’s swept under the rug or edited around. Litia just decided to rip the Band-Aid off.”
Litia Stands by Her Truth
While the internet continues to debate the bombshell reveal, Litia is standing firm in her truth. She says she hopes her openness can encourage others to stop pretending and be more honest about their experiences—even if it makes people uncomfortable.
“I know people are going to talk, but I’m not sorry,” she said. “I had a real connection with Grant. We had a lot of fun. We were intimate. That’s part of real relationships, and I’m not going to pretend like it didn’t happen.”
What’s Next for Litia Garr?
Since leaving The Bachelor, Litia has gained a loyal fanbase for her confident, unapologetic personality. With her bold new revelation, many are speculating that she could be gearing up for another reality TV appearance—maybe even Bachelor in Paradise or her own spin-off.
“I’d definitely do TV again,” she teased. “But only if I get to be 100% myself. No filters.”
Whether you love her or hate her, one thing’s for sure—Litia Garr just changed the rules of The Bachelor, and the franchise may never be the same again.
