Former Bachelor In Paradise star Elora Murger has lashed out at Renee Barrett and taken love rat Ciarran Stott’s side in their feud on the latest season of the show.
Renee, who previously dated Ciarran, claimed he quit Angie Kent’s season of The Bachelorette last year to rekindle his romance with her.
After hearing Renee drop her bombshell during Tuesday night’s episode, Elora, 29, rushed to Instagram to call her out, suggesting she was trying to get ‘revenge’.

Elora shared an image of Renee appearing on TV while making her confession to her Instagram Stories.
‘Low blow chick. That looks like revenge,’ she captioned the post.
Elora, who lived in the mansion while she starred on Matty ‘J’ Jonsons’s season, went on to reveal that she thought Renee might not be telling the whole truth.

‘You can’t be calling your girlfriend from the mansion,’ she said.
‘Producers listen to every call and I’m pretty sure they wouldn’t let him call his “girlfriend”,’ she added.
She finished by writing ‘respect’ and tagging Ciarran in the post.

Meanwhile, following Renee’s revelation, Twitter went into meltdown as cruel trolls questioned if Ciarran’s grandmother had even died – as he told Angie when he left the mansion.
On Wednesday, the tattooed Englishman hit back at the comments and refuted the rumours that he lied about his beloved grandmother’s death.
‘To all the people who think I made up the story about the passing of my nan. Next slide is for you,’ he shared in a post to Instagram.

‘I shouldn’t even have to be proving anything but that’s just how the internet is.’
He then shared photos from his nan Connie’s funeral which took place on July 9, 2019, in the UK.

Ciarran’s post was in response to cruel twitter messages questioning whether he ‘lied’ about his nan’s death.
‘So did Ciarran’s Grandma really die or was it just a lie to go back to Renee?’ one fan tweeted.
‘Essentially Ciarran was chatting to Renee while he was in the mansion with Angie, and left the mansion to be with her. Unsure if nan is alive or dead,’ wrote a second user.
Another added: ‘Honestly, I don’t see the big deal in Renee picking Ciarran up from the airport [after he quit The Bachelorette]. Of course the death of a close family member is going to make you want comfort in the familiar. BUT if he’s lied about nan dying…’

Last week on Bachelor in Paradise, Ciarran acknowledged cheating on Renee when they were together – but he didn’t reveal another important detail about their romance.
That left Renee to spill the beans on Tuesday’s episode.
She disclosed that the former Army rifleman had secretly been in contact with her when he was on Angie’s season of The Bachelorette.

Renee suggested that her ex had quit the series in order to rekindle their romance – which conflicts with what he told Angie at the time.
When he left The Bachelorette last year, Ciarran explained to Angie that he was grieving his grandmother, who had just died in England.
What he failed to tell her was that he was also nursing a broken heart following his split from Renee, whom he’d previously dated when they were both living in Darwin.
