What's going on, everybody? Welcome back to another episode of the Vile Files Reality Recap Edition. I'm your host, Nick. I'm extremely activated. I spent all weekend just... My wife's not here. She's nesting. Sierra is here. Not his wife. We have Susie. Justin's in the room. We also have... It's a full room. Also, Natalie spent all week in hearing what I'm about to say. Oh, I can't wait. She's got all the versions of it. But I had the wildest weekend and I feel like I'm being gaslit by the Internet. And I don't know what's going on in Bachelor Nation. I think there's like a currently the biggest scandal in reality TV is going on before our very eyes. And even I don't know if no one cares or they don't understand the context.
I feel like I'm losing my goddamn mind. Oh, he's activated.
I know. I'm like, what is going on? I'm just like, you need to get it off my chest. What's going on?
What's happening? So there is a book that is about to be released on, I think, July 7th. It's called The Love Producer. It is written by a former Bachelor producer. I don't know entirely what's in the book. Her name is Julie LaPlaca. Okay. I know her a little bit. She started on, she actually, I think she got her start on Andy's season, which was my first season. I didn't interact with her that much. I don't know her, you know. She's, a little bit I do know about her is nice.
Okay.
But she wrote a book about, apparently, this relationship she had with Peter Weber.
Pilot Pete?
Pilot Pete, when he was The Bachelor.
What? During the season?
I think so. I don't, there's only degrees, like, there's only degrees of wrong.
Yeah, isn't that fucked up?
So anyways, but what I'm so shocked about is that, first of all, I heard about this a couple months ago because she reached out both to our team and to me directly. Now, I didn't pay much attention to it because I honestly, without knowing much about the story, already thought it was gross. That a Bachelor producer who, again, there's so much nuance when it comes to, we talk so much about it on the show, about this relationship between reality TV star and producer. And it is incredibly nuanced, as you know, Susie, right? It's a trade-off. But for a Bachelor producer to whatever the relationship was—and I didn't know much about it. I didn't think it was much— to exploit that experience and to write a book about it I thought was gross.
But I also just didn't, I didn't pay much attention. I know the context of the story. I went out to dinner. Natalie and I went out to dinner with one of my good friends, also a former executive producer on the Bachelor franchise. And they were just like, did you hear about this book? And I'm like, well, tell me about it. I didn't really know about it. And they told me about this relationship and they gave me some tea about what actually happened. And I was just like, what the fuck is going on? And then I found out that some of my peers in Bachelor Nation are having her on like their podcast and talking about it. And again, I'm not I'm not sending smoke their way because and I'll get I'll explain why that I actually like just have a lot of grace and empathy for like, again, all of us bachelor people.
who, like, you know, listen, we have a lot of pros and cons and things that go down Bachelor Nation, but, like, I feel like I'm the only one who knows the truth. I feel like I'm the whistleblower. I don't know, because it makes no sense to me that, like, basically everyone's embracing this book is like a... Like, oh my God, tea. What's the truth?
Well, set the story for us first.
Okay, so here's the thing that people really, I don't, here's the thing that I think maybe I know that, or maybe I'm just, maybe I'm just like detached from reality.
