Despite what viewers saw on Monday night’s episode of\u00a0The Bachelor<\/em>, it’s not all roses and walks on the beach for Cassie Randolph<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Cassie is clear a front-runner on Colton Underwood<\/a><\/strong>‘s current season of the dating show. It turns out, however, that the 23-year-old happens to be on another\u00a0<\/em>reality TV program\u00a0called\u00a0Young Once<\/em><\/a>. The show “follows a diverse group of recent graduates from Christian college who are now navigating dating, marriage, debts, and career decisions against the backdrop of life in Southern California.”<\/p>\n

There seem to be five main people in the show and they attended Biola University. The school’s name is an acronym for Bible Institute Of Los Angeles.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Young Once<\/em>\u00a0centers around Cassie and her ex-boyfriend\u00a0Caelan Tiongson<\/strong>, who is now coming out of the woodwork to defend her decision to appear on\u00a0The Bachelor<\/em>. Caelan posted a photo<\/a> on Instagram of himself and Cassie alongside two of their friends and sought to give his own perspective on the situation “so no words can be misconstrued.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

He wrote a long description and clarified that\u00a0Young Once<\/em> was filmed prior to Cassie’s butterfly-filled entrance at Bachelor Mansion.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

“As many know, my ex girlfriend is currently a contestant on the tv show The Bachelor. The both of us have also appeared on a documentary series called Young Once,” he began. “The show catches you up on our lives as the first season was shot at Biola University while we were still going to school there.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Cassie graduated from Biola in 2016 and from the looks of his Instagram, Caelan is a basketball player in the Philippines.<\/p>\n

Caelan explained that filming “happened to catch the closing of mine and Cassie’s on and off relationship during the recording of this show.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Young Once<\/em>‘s second season just began, and Cassie’s ex addressed the rather blatant timing. “Make no mistake that Young Once<\/em> was filmed before The Bachelor<\/em>, and the fact that they are airing at the same time is a strategy to attract viewers,” he continued.\u00a0“Both Cassie and I made mistakes in our relationship, but I think we’d both agree it dragged out much too long anyways. This is because I persistently pursued a reunion and she knowingly kept the door open at times because of indecisiveness, neither of which matters because it has been over for good since before she went on The Bachelor.<\/em>“<\/p>\n

Caelan admitted “without a doubt” he and Cassie “were not a great fit for each other” but he still praised her.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

“The reality of the situation is that Cassie is a great girl. Her decision to go on The Bachelor<\/em> was a decisive moment in my life to move forward so why couldn’t it serve as that for her as well?” he wrote. “Nobody has the right to tell her whether or not she has good intentions. So although the full truth may not be out…not everybody’s business needs to be on reality tv.”<\/p>\n

He said towards the end of his statement, “Cassie will eventually explain her side and I endorse whatever she says because there is no reason for her to hide the truth.\u00a0I wish her nothing but success and happiness moving forward.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Caelan then disclosed, “I post this because of the outlets who reached out to hear ‘my side’ and because I heard Cassie was receiving a lot of negativity for our past relationship. I thought this would be the best way to preserve the truth and encourage the trolls to check themselves before tearing down a good human being.”<\/p>\n

So far, Cassie has not issued a response.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
