I obviously knew y'all weren't in a good place with each other, but I thought at the time that it was, solely, petty drama.»The drama between the women began when Shanae, seemingly inexplicably, turned against Elizabeth, mocked her for having ADHD and claimed to Clayton that Elizabeth had made her feel «bullied» in the house.On the latest episode of the series, after the women fought in front of Clayton, the leading man awarded Shanae a rose and sent Elizabeth home.

Shanae went on to cause drama in the house by showing up uninvited to an after-party and trying to turn Clayton against three other women -- Gabby, Sierra and Genevieve.«I would have sent Shanae home immediately for making fun of you for being neurodivergent, had I known,» Clayton wrote, referencing Elizabeth's ADHD.The situation between Shanae and Elizabeth is just one reason Clayton has not enjoyed watching his journey play out on TV.«Overall, the experience for me watching hasn't been fun, simply because I'm seeing all the damage that I caused.

I really meant well, but my actions weren't always the best as I now can see the repercussions from my decisions,» he wrote.
