During After the Final Rose on September 3, Jenn revealed Devin had pulled away from her as soon as they returned home from filming.

The Bachelorette then claimed he broke up with her over a phone call just weeks before the live, three-hour finale event aired on ABC.

The finale showed them together onstage as they rehashed their failed relationship for the first time in person since their breakup.

Afterward, Jenn appeared on multiple podcasts and continued to explain how Devin’s personality completely changed after the show.

On Tuesday, Devin attempted to clear his name with a selfie video featuring screenshots of private texts between him and the leading lady.

TEXT RECEIPTS

In some texts, Jenn opened up to Devin about the difficulty of watching the reality show back in real-time — months after filming.

In one exchange, Jenn said she had anxiety while watching a certain episode and told Devin that she “hated the show.”

“I look like an idiot,” she wrote, adding, “It’s embarrassing.”

Jenn also noted that her conversation with Devin during the episode was “the only good thing” that happened.

Elsewhere in Devin’s video, texting screenshots of the former couple having flirty banter were shown, while others included paragraphs of disagreements.

Devin even deleted his original video, which included screengrabs of inappropriate text exchanges, and re-uploaded a shorter version.

In the comments, he addressed his decision.

“The original post has been altered in order to respect sensitive information that was unintentionally shared,” Devin wrote.

MORE ON DEVIN’S VIDEO

Devin shared his video one week after fans watched Jenn sob onstage when speaking to her ex about their breakup.

In the clip, however, Devin claimed he and Jenn were “on good terms” before the finale.

He shared more screenshots of Jenn saying she would “always be rooting for him” and that she was “not perfect.”

Devin said he didn’t want to fight during the finale and claimed she tried to end their relationship in person rather than over the phone.

“I did try to meet up with her. I did try to go to the happy couple and she did not let me,” he alleged. “She kinda forced my hand.”

Devin attempted to debunk the claim that he didn’t go to couples counseling with Jenn, claiming they went to a few sessions together before Jenn fired the therapist without consulting him first.

Devin felt that the decision left him feeling as if his opinions were being “completely tossed to the side.”

He also talked about not being Jenn’s first choice on the show, which was “hard to go through” while watching the season back.

Referring to Jenn’s relationship with her runner-up Marcus Shoberg, Devin said he felt like his decisions “were reaffirmed in breaking up with her in the first place” after watching the episodes back.

Devin’s video received mixed reactions in the comments section, as many fans were uninterested in hearing his side of the story.

While many continued to defend Jenn, others were more persuaded by Devin’s proof of text exchanges.

BRINGING IT BACK?

Although things didn’t work out with Jenn’s final rose winner, she may be moving on with a more accepted fan-favorite contestant.

Last weekend, Jenn hung out with her third runner-up, Jonathon Johnson, as they uploaded a few videos together.

Jonathon gained the likes of many viewers throughout the season, even more so during the Men Tell All when he recalled some of Jenn’s outfits from the show.

In one of their videos, Jenn lip-synced, “Everybody wants to know what I would do if I didn’t win.”

Jonathan popped into the frame moments later, adding, “I guess we’ll never know.

Fans were shocked in the comments section and begged the Bachelorette not to be “teasing” them.

“Breaking the internet with this!” one person wrote, while another said, “Jenn don’t play with us.”

Fans of The Bachelorette can follow Jenn on her upcoming journey with Season 33 of Dancing with the Stars.

Jenn will take the stage with her partner, Sasha Farber, beginning Tuesday, September 17.
