Pic of Tia and Colton in Paradise sparks Raven and Bekah’s Twitter war
By Ruby Maxwell
When Bekah Martinez shared photos of Colton and Tia filming a Bachelor in Paradise date, Raven Gates called her out on Twitter
The Bachelorette drama isn’t limited to what you see on TV. Right now, there’s plenty of craziness going on off-camera, including a Twitter war between Raven Gates (Nick’s season) and Bekah Martinez (Arie’s season).
Bekah is standing up for Bachelorette Becca, and Raven is defending her BFF, Tia who is currently filming Bachelor in Paradise. And yes, Colton is there, as evidenced by the photo below.
So. Much. Drama.
Bekah decided to share a photo of Colton and Tia (below) that was initially tweeted out by Reality Steve. Considering she has a fair amount of followers on social media, it was a major spoiler alert for fans who don’t follow Steve.
By now, we all know that Tia and Colton were a thing before he started filming the Bachelorette. Their previous “relationship” will lead to more drama ahead for Becca during the hometown dates episode.

There is some speculation that Colton did not go on The Bachelorette to find love with Becca. After all, if he was interested in Tia, why not back out of his commitment to film the show? Maybe he had his sights set on becoming the next Bachelor star — who knows.
What we do know is Bekah is passionate about defending Becca …
“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 in paradise (we’re gonna get so many followers from this manufactured narrative lol)”
It didn’t take Raven Gates long to respond to Bekah’s tweet. Although she deleted tweets and eventually blocked Bekah, most of the conversation was captured via screenshots.

Raven’s tweet (now deleted) said, “Hey everybody, make sure you follow [Bekah] so she can get those followers so she can stop talking s–t about her friends like Tia and Becca! Hurry up!”
Did Colton play Becca?
Before she was blocked by Raven, Bekah tweeted about the Becca/Colton/Tia love triangle. She claims both Tia and Colton played Becca. (Still wondering why Tia didn’t tell Becca about her “relationship” with Colton BEFORE filming started!)
Raven defended Tia, who is currently in Mexico filming Paradise. She tweeted that she didn’t like the situation either, but asked for the Tia bashing to stop.
Before Tia blocked her, Bekah tweeted, “we agreed to stop the back and forth then but this is a whole new level of shady and conniving. It really seems like both she and Colton played Becca on this one. I would’ve tweeted it even if she wasn’t filming right now. I don’t care to be friends with someone like that.”
Spoilers point to Tia coming back on the show during the hometown dates episode.
It’s a no-brainer as to why producers had Tia return for a second time this season — it’s all part of the producers master plan to create as much drama as possible this season.
It’s a great way to keep our minds off Garrett’s Instagram controversy (yeah, he apologized) and news that Lincoln was recently sentenced in an assault and battery case.
Colton is one of Becca’s final four guys, but Becca supposedly dumps him after their date once Tia comes back to claim her man.
Tia and Colton are currently in Paradise along with the rest of the cast.
Will their relationship ends with an engagement or fizzle out? It won’t be long before we find out — Bachelor in Paradise premieres in early August, but spoilers will be out long before then.

The big question is – is Bekah going to Paradise to stir up more drama!? Stay tuned!
