Sean Lowe, who said "I love you" and proposed to his now-wife Catherine Giudici at the end of his The Bachelor journey -- much unlike Juan Pablo Galavis -- had more to say about the Latino Bachelor after the conclusion of Monday night's After the Final Rose special.

"My take on last night: I commend JP on not proposing if he isn't ready. And he certainly shouldn't feel pressured to say 'I love you,'" Lowe tweeted Tuesday.

"However, as the bachelor you can't say I want to keep my feelings private. You owe it to the fans and network to open up. That's the job. Lastly, disrespecting the nicest guy in show business @chrisbharrison should be a crime. That's my take. Wish them nothing but happiness."

Galavis had been short with Chris Harrison during the special, refusing to answer most of his questions and calling The Bachelor host out multiple times for interrupting him.

Galavis declined to reveal much of anything about his new relationship with Nikki Ferrell, seemingly to get back at producers for invading his personal life. Giudici had even barked at Galavis, "Don't slap the hand that feeds you."

Lowe and Giudici subsequently appeared on E! News Tuesday night after the incident to discuss the situation in further detail.

"Whoo Tension," Lowe said when describing the After the Final Rose scene.

"A lot of tapping," Giudici chimed in.

"I was squirming in my seat. It was so uncomfortable because Juan Pablo, he was blatantly disrespecting the king of The Bachelor, Chris Harrison, by interrupting him and just his actions," Lowe admitted.

"And my thing is, if you sign up to be the Bachelor, you have to share your feelings. It's only fair for the fans and obviously the network deserves that, and Juan Pablo, you can't say, 'I'm going to keep it private.' You signed up for this! Tell people what you think."

Ali Fedotowsky, an E! News reporter and former The Bachelorette star, defended Lowe's statement by saying, "Chris Harrison is the nicest guy. It's hard to make Chris Harrison not like you."

However, both Giudici and Lowe agreed Harrison might've been pushing Galavis a little too hard to say, "I love you" on live television.

"Right. Right. It's hard to not have content though," Giudici noted.

"If you're not ready to say, 'I love you,' do not say it. But at least tell people how you're feeling, where this relationship is going. That's the kind of thing he needed to say last night," Lowe explained.

"Yeah, and there is no privacy," Giudici said. "There was no content because he kept saying, 'I'm not going to talk about it. I'm not going to talk about it.' So maybe Chris Harrison was trying to get something else. I don't know."

When asked whether either of them actually spoke to Galavis after the show, Giudici replied, "No, he did not want to see us."

"I shot him a text a few days ago and I said, 'Man, I know you're catching a lot of heat right now but every Bachelor goes through it. Just stay strong and it will blow over,'" Lowe explained. "And I think he took a little shot at me last night when he said, 'The people who are at home on their computers tweeting and then they say other things on the camera.' So."

"That they're not being forthright," Giudici clarified, speaking for Galavis.

"We were honest with [Juan Pablo] about the whole situation," she added. "Obviously we weren't very happy about what happened the whole season, the way that it ended and the way that he was handling himself last night. So he was just, you know, upset kind of at us -- at everybody it seemed like. He didn't want to look at anybody."

Lowe and Giudici became engaged at the conclusion of The Bachelor's seventeenth season.

Galavis, the show's eighteenth-season star, gave Ferrell his final rose when the finale taped late last year but that was it. At that point, Ferrell had already expressed her love and devotion to Galavis multiple times, and in turn, Galavis told her, "I like you a lot."
