Leo Dottavio, baby, what are you doing?!
The former Bachelorette contestant and recently-eliminated Bachelor in Paradise firebrand with the super-long hair is apparently not done going crazy this week — but this time, all the drama is taking place on Twitter.

After his, uh, interesting pair of BiP episodes aired on Monday and Tuesday, the stuntman took to Twitter to criticize two people who had called him out negatively while live-watching his incredible meltdown the show: Bachelor alums Amanda Stanton and Tanner Tolbert.
Amanda revealed what happened in a tweet (below):
Just got a lovely DM from Leo calling me a “piece of shit” & that my tweet about him last night is going to “come back to haunt me”…so i guess he can never blame “editing” #BachelorinParadise
— Amanda Stanton (@amandastantonnn) August 29, 2018
And then later revealed that after it happened, Leo immediately blocked her (below):
He blocked me after so the messages disappeared before I had a chance to screenshot

Leo quickly replied, too, in a since-deleted tweet (below):
“Going after my livelihood cause of unsubstantiated claims from my college days isn’t too classy miss. I don’t even know who you are but it’s pathetic. Faux ass celeb. Find some other way to stay relevant.”
Hmmm…
Immediately after that, Tolbert tweeted his own thoughts about Leo and his weird relationship with Kendall, offering up some opinions Leo did NOT care for (below):
Leo… it’s not really snitching if you did it on camera for national television…
— Tanner Tolbert (@tanner_tolbert_) August 28, 2018
I like rats more than I like snakes… #BachelorInParadise
— Tanner Tolbert (@tanner_tolbert_) August 28, 2018
LOLz!!
But Leo took immediate offense to it, responding again to Tanner in a public string of (again, now-deleted) tweets, including this:
“Hey buddy why don’t we settle this old school? Put some gloves on step in the ring? Next time you’re in LA maybe we can do that. Whoever loses donates 5k to charity. Heck I’ll let you wear head gear. When I knock you out can I stand over you and call you a beta?”
Uh… is Leo one of those people who calls other men ‘alpha’ and ‘beta’ males? Because that says it all right there…
Fortunately, Tanner quote-tweeted him back to call him out (below):
Aww… the alpha male doesn’t have very thick skin I guess… if you go on national TV and act a fool… you should expect some commentary. https://t.co/zEl6lma3X2
— Tanner Tolbert (@tanner_tolbert_) August 29, 2018
Can we just skip it and I’ll donate the $5k towards getting you some therapy??? https://t.co/zEl6lma3X2
— Tanner Tolbert (@tanner_tolbert_) August 29, 2018
I don’t think you’ve got many “marbles” left to risk, buddy… https://t.co/I46wzpT6vT
— Tanner Tolbert (@tanner_tolbert_) August 29, 2018
Wow!
Even Nick Viall got into it in Tanner’s defense (below):
Breaking news: Self proclaimed Alpha suggests Charity boxing match with someone they have a clear physical advantage over as means to inflate their own ego all while further demonstrating their deep insecurities. https://t.co/EyyR0qC6xZ

Amen!!!
Again, Leo deleted all of his tweets, and he clearly backtracked after his bad behavior online, saying:
“Hey guys I hope you all know today was an attempt at humor. It’s honestly very humbling there are so many people concerned about my love life and mental health. God bless.”
But the damage is done, and the absurdity has been documented.
In the infamous words of Tia on the show the other night: go home, Leo!
Go home!
