The Bachelor's Sydney Gordon has revealed whether she's officially put her drama with Maria Georgas behind her.

On The Bachelor: The Women Tell All, which aired Monday on ABC, Sydney and Maria exchanged some heated words and accusations about their time on Joey Graziadei's season, but they ultimately decided to apologize to each other, hug it out, and forgive.

Sydney, however, had been furious at Maria while filming The Bachelor. She called Maria a manipulative and catty "bully," and she aimed a lengthy gaslighting rant at Maria following her The Bachelor elimination.

Sydney therefore shared whether she's really over her beef with Maria in an Instagram post.

Sydney shared a photo of herself relaxing in a bed with Lea Cayanan, Rachel Nance, Jess Edwards, Katelyn DeBacker, and Autumn Waggoner after The Women Tell All, and she captioned it, "When you put it all to rest. [Heart emoji]."

In a separate Instagram post, Sydney uploaded a video of herself hugging Lea and Jess, all of whom had issues with Maria on The Bachelor.

"It may not had went [sic] as planned but I found love in these forever friendships," Sydney wrote.

"Unfortunately, the world didn't get a chance to see who I truly am this season, but I learned so much from this experience. I came out stronger than ever and I can say whole heartedly I will move forward with empathy and understanding in all walks of life."

Sydney added, "Sending so much love to EVERY woman who shared this crazy a$$ journey with me. Also @joeygraziadei, you deserve all the happiness in the world."

Lea gushed about her pal in the comments, writing to Sydney, "I love you beyond words and nothing could change that."

Sydney faced a lot of backlash and hate on social media for how she had treated and responded to Maria. Sydney previously shared on Instagram how she received "thousands" of nasty and hurtful messages.

"You are a f-cking b-tch. You are a skank," one person told her.

"You are as low and gross and scumby as they come," another troll told Sydney.

Sydney vented about the negativity, "I didn't know I could feel this low in my entire life."

The 28-year-old vintage store owner from Newport, RI, vented, "I am constantly reminded of all the insecurities that it took me so long to overcome. To hear, 'You're ugly,' and, 'You look like a man,' it almost feels like I went back to square one."

"I was told that I'd be better off dead," she continued. "People struggle with suicide ideation. That is something that should not be taken lightly. That is not something that we should be joking about."

Sydney insisted that, as a society, everyone needs "to be better" and "do better."

And Sydney apparently took her own advice by listening to Maria's side of the story and letting things go.

On The Bachelor this season, Sydney apparently interpreted one of Maria's comments about Madina Alam being an older contestant as malicious when it was intended to be supportive. Sydney therefore talked behind Maria's back and sparked tension in the house.

Sydney ratted out Maria to Joey and told The Bachelor star, "She attacked me and I sat there and maintained my composure. She called me embarrassing, weird and dumb. I ended up walking away. I just couldn't be in that hostile environment."

Maria, in turn, denied the allegations and insisted that she'd never bully another woman, mainly because she had been bullied as a child and knows how it feels.

Once Sydney was eliminated during her two-on-one date against Maria, Lea took up arms to defend her ousted bestie, sparking more drama in the house.

Sydney admitted on The Women Tell All that her behavior was "cringey" and she did, in fact, act in an annoying manner. Sydney also acknowledged she should have been more "resolution oriented" instead of "pointing the finger" at Maria.

Lea later told Maria in tears, "I don't think I ever got the opportunity to know you for you outside of the conflict. And for that, I am so sorry. I think you're a wonderful woman. I watch the TV and I'm like, 'I love that girl and I don't even know her.' I wish I got to know you."

"Thank you," Maria replied.

"We would get along outside of this, let's just be real. Imagine if we were all the best of friends in the house, how much easier this would've been for all of us. I want to make up."
