Paige Lorenze is not holding back with her opinion on her past relationship with The Bachelorette alum Tyler Cameron. It was on Hannah Brown's season of The Bachelorette that Tyler first gained fan-favorite status, making it all the way to the finale with Hannah and stealing viewers' hearts along the way. After being sent home on The Bachelorette, Tyler stepped into his dating life with style, being linked to model Gigi Hadid and hooking up with Hannah again during the pandemic. In July 2021, Tyler went official with influencer Camila Kendra. But sadly, as fast as the relationship started, it ended only a month later. The familiar theme viewers notice for Tyler is the pattern of his short relationships.
After spending nearly a year single, the news of Tyler dating model Paige Lorenze started flying around the internet in July. The couple getting photographed walking the streets of New York while packing on PDA, and Paige posting Tyler on her social media accounts was all the fans needed to confirm the relationship. To zero fans' surprise, the relationship between Tyler and Paige fizzled out within a month. While speaking with the media, Tyler mentioned needing to step back from the relationship. He added more details of the split, conveying that Paige and he both were back to doing their own thing but would always hold love for one another.

Now Paige is revealing her true feelings about how the relationship went down with Bachelor Nation alum Tyler. While speaking to Sofia Franklyn on her podcast, Sofia with an F, Paige let the tea spill. In the clip shared on the podcast's Instagram page, Paige states, "That was a very sickening situation," when Sofia first drops the mention of Tyler's name. Paige then opened up about how she met Tyler in the first place, saying, "We met through friends at parties," adding, "We were going to all the same s**t." Paige gave even more insight into her thoughts towards the beginning of the relationship, saying, "And this might sound narcissistic because he has a pretty insane following, but I felt like he was like using me."

With one look at Sofia's face, Paige could tell she was ready to hear more tea about former Bachelorette star Tyler, and Paige delivered. Diving into this theory more, she said, "I felt like he wanted like some media storm." Giving more details, Paige added, "He was looking at my story views and I was getting more story views than him and he was like 'I need a scandal' and I don't like that about myself but like I do have some s**t in the media about me like especially around my relationships." Paige feels like Tyler was possibly coming into the relationship opportunistic, saying, "I think he saw an opportunity, not that he didn't like me but I think why he wanted to go public so fast is because he's launching something soon."
The details shared by Paige on her relationship with Tyler shouldn't come as a shock to fans of The Bachelorette. It seems more than expected for past cast members of the franchise to pop off in the media with news before they announce the launch of a new project. Many fans and past cast members of the franchise have been vocal about wanting Tyler to be the next male lead of The Bachelor. Viewers can only hope the next whirlwind relationship Tyler drops in the media will end because he's accepted his lead bachelor role.
