"Bachelor franchise is in shambles because of you and Grant," a person wrote to Jenn on social media.
Jenn, 27, responded to the jab in a Monday, May 13 TikTok video, "No, no, no, you guys are looking at this all wrong."
"I was actually such an amazing Bachelorette and my relationship ended in such success," she joked, "that they can simply never find anyone to replace me because my season will be forever ingrained in your little brains and you're never going to get out of your heads. Thank you."
Jenn captioned her post, "Say it with me, long live Jenn Tran the last Bachelorette to ever cry tears on ur TV."
While Grant's The Bachelor season was airing earlier this year, news broke that The Bachelorette is going to be skipping a season this year.
ABC never formally canceled the spinoff, but the network also never explained its reasoning for the unexpected hiatus.
Instead of The Bachelorette's 22nd season, ABC is going to air a tenth season of Bachelor in Paradise this summer featuring The Bachelor, The Bachelorette, The Golden Bachelor, and The Golden Bachelorette alums.
It currently remains unclear whether The Bachelor will return with Season 30 in early 2026.
Jenn is likely being accused of leaving The Bachelor franchise in "shambles" because her relationship with her The Bachelorette winner, Devin Strader, was a disaster.

On After the Final Rose, Jenn was devastated about her breakup with Devin. She claimed he had slowly ghosted her and treated her poorly following their engagement.
Jenn claimed that after a tumultuous two months -- in which Devin allegedly never prioritized or made an effort to see her -- Devin broke up with Jenn in August 2024.
Devin also came under fire for following The Bachelor alum Maria Georgas on Instagram after the show and allegedly sending multiple women DMs on Instagram behind Jenn's back.
On After the Final Rose, Devin didn't explain why exactly he had fallen out of love with Jenn and decided to dump her, except for saying that he "fell short" of her expectations for him in the real world.
To make matters worse, Devin released personal text messages with Jenn from May through August 2024 alongside a 13-minute, tell-all video about his "truth" and "false narratives" about him on September 10, a week after The Bachelorette finale aired on ABC.
Devin claimed that despite Jenn's side of the story, he had been very "present" during their relationship and never ghosted Jenn or refused to attend couples counseling.
Jenn therefore admitted to former The Bachelor star Nick Viall in Fall 2024 that she was outraged by Devin's invasion of her privacy and would likely have "trust issues" when dating men going forward.

But Jenn is currently rumored to be dating her Fall 2024 Dancing with the Stars partner, Sasha Farber, who helped her heal from her split with Devin.
And Devin has also moved on and is in a serious relationship with a woman named Skyler Springstun, whom he debuted in February 2025).
For Grant's part, he chose Juliana Pasquarosa as his winner at the end of The Bachelor's 29th season.
Grant and Juliana got engaged in the Dominican Republic and are still together; however, Grant's journey to find love was also a bumpy one.
Grant was criticized for expressing his love to his The Bachelor runner-up, Litia Garr, multiple times before blindsiding and dumping her at the Final Rose Ceremony.
Litia claimed on The Bachelor: After the Final Rose that Grant made a last-minute switch up in terms of his final decision.
Litia alleged that Grant had led her on, allowing her to think for weeks she was The One, ever since their first solo date at the beginning of the season.
Litia apparently had no doubt in her mind that Grant was going to propose to her at the Final Rose Ceremony instead of Juliana.
