The Bachelorseason 29 contestant Carolina Sofia has been keeping busy since leading man Grant Ellis sent her home on the reality dating series.Carolina, a 28-year-old public relations producer from Guaynabo, Puerto Rico, had an instant connection with Grant, a now-31-year-old day trader from Newark, New Jerseyon premiere night. However, Carolina was quickly painted as the villain of the show when she and Grant kissed in front of the other women on a group date. Carolina the had many other conflicts with the other women, which often ended up with Grant giving her a lot of time to talk about it.
ThroughoutThe Bachelorseason 29, Carolina dominated a lot of Grant’s time.Because of this, Zoe McGrady said that it was “The Carolina Show.” Carolina also famously sang,“I guess I’m crazy and evil,“during an argument with Dina Lupancu. During the “Women Tell All” episode, Carolina wore a jacket with the words"Crazy and Evil"printed on the back, and"What’s your question?“on the front, which was a reference to what she said to Juliana Pasquarosa during an argument. The women attacked her so harshly during the “Women Tell All” episode that she had to take a break and leave the stage. Here’s what Carolina has been up to afterThe Bachelorseason 29.

Carolina Expressed Her Gratitude For Her Supporters
Carolina Called The Bachelor Season 29 A ‘Nightmare’
In a March 2025 Instagram story,Carolinareflected on herBachelorseason 29 experience. She posted a video of herself holding hands with Grant as she met him on premiere night, but she put a heart sticker over his face that said,“all my virtual besties,“that implied that she was happy to meet them.
In her Instagram story,Carolina shared that her mental health sufferedafterThe Bachelorseason 29. She wrote,“Six months ago, a really happy girl walked into the bachelor mansion expecting the most amazing experience of her life. I figured if I didn’t find romantic love, I’d at least find lifelong friendships. I could’ve never imagined it would become my biggest nightmare. Since then my mental health has plummeted to an all time low. Living it was the worst experience of my life, and having to sit with it months in anticipation for what I would see on TV was excruciating.”
Carolina went on to say that she initially blamed herself for what had happened, but, when she was able to watch the show back, she felt that it wasn’t the case. She shared,“I fully convinced myself that I MUST have been completely aloof to my actions to warrant such hate, and I was bracing myself to be hit with reality when I watched it back. To be completely honest, even with the narrative that was shown, I simply cannot understand the piling on anyone when they’re already down.”
I’ve Completely Lost Interest In The Bachelor, And It’s Not Grant Ellis' Fault (He’s Not To Blame For The Show’s Mistakes)
The Bachelor season 29 has become a chore to watch, but it’s definitely not Grant Ellis' fault that the show has taken such a turn for the worse.
Carolina then admitted that she lost herself in herBachelorseason 29 journey. She wrote,“I completely lost all sense of self in this experience, and I allowed the light personality that first stepped into the house to be dimmed just trying to be less disruptive. I never wanted to be the ‘crazy and evil’ one. I didn’t want to be involved in any of the arguments brought against me and I tried to shut them down without going as low as some[one] coming at me. It’s hard to stay positive in an environment where everyone’s decided to view you negatively. I’m only human, but I’m trying to heal and do better.”
Carolina then thanked the people who’ve supported her throughout the past few months. She said,“I sincerely want to thank every single person that’s sent me an encouraging message. Many of you have started by saying ‘I know you probably won’t read this’ and just know I AM reading them and you taking a minute out of your day to show someone kindness means a lot. If you’re new here I hope you’ll stick around to see the most authentic version of myself in safer environments. I’m SO glad you’re here.”
Carolina didn’t specify where her fans will see her next, but, based on what she wrote, it’s unlikely that she’ll appear onBachelor in Paradiseseason 10. She didn’t seem to enjoy herBachelorexperience because of the arguments with the other women, so she probably won’t want to subject herself to that kind of environment again. Carolina wasn’t the villain that the other women made her out to be, and she didn’t deserve to be attacked.Hopefully, Carolina will appear on screens again soon in an environment that supports her and allows her to be her authentic self and shine.
