The animosity didn’t stop there. Under the tweet that @RealitySteve wrote about said reaction, there was a comment that alleged Jef was "wing-manning" for Arie in sorority houses years ago.

I've actually never even been inside a sorority house. As for him…I stopped being friends with him years ago because he's disgusting

His response? "I've actually never even been inside a sorority house," Holm wrote. "As for him...I stopped being friends with him years ago because he's disgusting.” Wow!

Arie hasn’t responded to Jef’s brutal choice of words. However, Emily Maynard, who the guys competed for on The Bachelorette, has been nothing but nice and supportive about the new Bachelor’s next chapter.

"I'll be wishing him nothing but the best because that's absolutely what he deserves,” she recently revealed.

Only time will tell if Jef or Arie shed light on what went wrong in their relationship. Maybe it will happen on the new season of The Bachelor? Who knows!
