Ashley Iaconetti isn't exactly proud of her actions on Bachelor in Paradise, but she's certainly not ashamed of them either.

Iaconetti, haunted by her reputation as the crying virgin on the Bachelor franchise, had to witness her Paradise obsession Jared Haibon falling for Caila Quinn, whom she had befriended before the summer series was filmed in June.

Iaconetti viewed Quinn's romance with Haibon as a huge betrayal and went as far as calling Ben Higgins' ex-girlfriend a "backstabbing whore" and "little piece of sh-t." Let's add in "a disloyal b-tch" to drive home the point.

"I wish I was more composed and less sassy, but I stand by my concerns," Iaconetti tweeted Tuesday night in response to a follower asking how she felt watching her behavior back on television.

Iaconetti's "concerns" are referring to the fact she thought Haibon was "more into" Quinn than the bubbly brunette was into him while filming Bachelor in Paradise.

Quinn was extremely aggravated Iaconetti made such assumptions about her feelings for Haibon. Quinn argued she really like Haibon but was just "hesitant" about rushing into a relationship.

"To be fair....it wasn't just @ashleyiaco questioning how Caila felt about Jared. ALL OF US were #BachelorInParadise," Carly Waddell tweeted last night in Iaconetti's defense.

Even this season's villain, Josh Murray, wrote on Twitter that there was more to the story and Iaconetti is an "amazing" person.

Harrison also weighed in on Iaconetti's emotional outbursts in his Yahoo! TV blog this week.

"We can debate back and forth forever whether she loves [Jared], is 'in love' with him, or is 'obsessed' with him, but any way you look at it, one of the driving forces in Paradise is Ashley. You have to give her credit," Harrison explained.

"She is resolute about what she wants, and she will go after it until the very last ounce of energy is squeezed out of her (and everyone else)."

Harrison pointed out the fact Quinn and Iaconetti were once friends "complicated" the whole situation even more.

"[And] the fact that Ashley considers Caila competition for Jared's heart adds a whole new level of jealousy to the equation... Does she really want Jared to move on? Is she really ready to move on?" Harrison said.

"These are the questions that persist as we continue watching this whole thing go down. This may be the most pressing issue in Paradise, but it's certainly not the only source of conflict at the moment."
