The Bachelor’s Litia Garr Reacts to Ex Grant Ellis’ Celibacy Journey: ‘Good Luck on That’ tram
Former Bachelor contestant Litia Garr is weighing in on ex Grant Ellis’ celibacy journey.
When asked on the Wednesday, October 29, episode of iHeartRadio’s “Almost Famous” podcast whether she heard that Grant, 31, is now abstaining from sex, Litia, also 31, replied, “I did. I heard that. Yeah, good for him.”
“Power to him,” Litia continued. “Good luck on that.”
Grant, who ended season 29 of The Bachelor engaged to Juliana Pasquarosa after calling it quits with runner-up Litia, confirmed via social media on October 12 that he is celibate. (Grant and Juliana announced their split in June.)
“Me being the most recent Bachelor, I feel like I have a little authority in the dating space being that the show is about dating,” he explained. “I think finding something serious — finding something that’s worth pursuing — is really hard, especially out here in L.A. and major cities like New York.”
Grant noted that being celibate can be “hard,” but he believes it’s the right decision for him.
“I’m a man. I definitely have my urges, my desires, and I’m just being fully transparent. I have messed up in the past,” he said before explaining that he is inspired by his religion on this journey. “Mainly it’s because of my faith. … God knows the desires of your heart and he knows what makes you happy. The same God that knows how to make you happy, He would know how to give you a partner without having to test drive things.”
Weeks later, Grant explained that he’s been in two relationships in his life — which he said he put his “all into.”
“I want it to be meaningful and I want it to last, so I’m trying the best I can to withhold until I find my right person,” Grant shared on the Friday, October 24, episode of PodcastOne’s “When Reality Hits” podcast. “I’m doing my best, and I want my next relationship to be the one. If you’re not it, I’m just not gonna.”
“When we do have sex, it will be great,” he continued with a laugh. “I’m very good, but I’m waiting.”
Litia, for her part, opened up on The Bachelor about her religion — which she later exclusively told Us Weekly that there are “so many” misconceptions about dating someone in the Mormon faith.
“One misconception was, ‘Litia wants to have kids because she’s been conditioned and she’s been this, this and this.’ I’m like, if I was subscribing to every stereotype that exists about my religion, I would’ve been married at 20, I’d have four kids. I never would’ve done so many other things,” she explained in May. “They just kind of assume that I’m not capable of critical thinking because I subscribe to organized religion and ’cause I’m a Christian and all of that.”
Litia shared that there is a lot of “speculation about specific choices people make in their sex lives” or how to navigate topics that aren’t “in line with our religion.”
“I can only speak for myself and my own experience, but church is for people who want peace,” she said. “Religion is for people who are seeking a greater purpose and who want to feel connected to a community and who wanna feel supported. And that is especially for people that made mistakes or that made choices that they regretted, they absolutely need peace. It’s not for perfect people.”
Dr. Heavenly Kimes Throws a Drink at Kari Wells + Kari Throws One Right Back liennhi
Dr. Heavenly Kimes and Kari Wells’ heated moment was edited out.
“Married to Medicine” star Dr. Heavenly Kimes is no stranger to controversial moments and nasty feuds. In fact, during the current season, she’s been clashing with Dr. Contessa Metcalfe. Heavenly started a YouTube channel a few years ago. And she’s decided to use the platform to review the episodes. Plus, she’ll oftentimes give business and relationship advice to her subscribers as well. However, some of her costars haven’t appreciated the comments she’s made about them and their marriages. In fact, Contessa was furious when Heavenly told fans that she felt that Dr. Scott Metcalfe is verbally and emotionally abusive. Contessa just believes a friend shouldn’t say this about another friend’s husband.
One of the most intense moments of the season was the intervention Contessa planned for Heavenly. At the event, Contessa made sure a montage of Heavenly’s shady YouTube comments was played. Heavenly laughed. And she said she doesn’t regret the comments she’s made on her channel. Heavenly eventually apologized to Contessa but Contessa’s tense moment with Dr. Damon Kimes only stalled the progress they were making on reviving the friendship.
Well, it seems as if another heated moment for Heavenly was edited out. A scene of Heavenly throwing a drink at Kari Wells had fans talking on social media.
Kari Wells and Dr. Heavenly Kimes haven’t always gotten along.
Dr. Heavenly Kimes has an interesting relationship with Kari Wells. In fact, the “Married to Medicine” stars have clashed a lot over the years. However, they appeared to get in a cordial space somewhat last season. However, Heavenly didn’t like it when Kari called Dr. Damon Kimes “Daddy.” Of course, Heavenly has been calling Damon that for years. And she doesn’t want another woman to do the same. Regardless, fans are wondering what could have led to the blowup they had while filming the current season.
On the recent episode, Dr. Jackie Walters and Dr. Simone Whitmore got with their husbands to plan a cast trip to Blue Ridge Mountains. Both women figured that a trip needed to happen because there has been a lot of tension and drama in the group. And it’s gotten really bad considering Toya Bush-Harris and Audra Frimpong even had an altercation at Quad Webb’s holiday party.
During the scene, producers decided to do a flashback of previous messy moments between the cast that occurred during the season. But one scene they showed featured Heavenly tossing a drink at Kari. The scene itself was never shown until the flashback sequence. And context is missing.
Drinks were thrown.
In the clip, Heavenly tells Kari, “Get out of my face with that!” She then threw the drink in Kari’s face. Kari responded, “What the **** is wrong with you?!” Kari then drew her drink at Heavenly.
Interestingly enough, Heavenly had no regrets. And she told Kari, “That’s what it is!”
Fans have a lot of questions about the scene on social media. Some are wondering what led to the blowup. This is true especially since Kari and Heavenly are on good terms now. And Kari even appeared on Heavenly’s YouTube channel to discuss a
