— -- For Samantha Steffen, hindsight is twenty-twenty.

The "Bachelor in Paradise" star apologized to her friend Juelia Kinney on Twitter Monday night for not heeding her warnings about Joe Bailey.

"Sorry Juelia! I was scared & had no idea of drama going on.. deceiving some1 is never an option #undertheJoespell #BachelorInParadise #bip," she wrote.

On last week's episode, Bailey, who said in a confessional that he came on the show to date Steffen, tricked Kinney into giving him a rose. Then, when Steffen arrived, he ignored Kinney completely, devastating her.

Further complicating things, when Kinney, who was friendly with Steffen, tried to tell her pal what happened, she wouldn't hear it.

"I was swept up in passion clearly way too much and had NO idea the extent of what happened #BachelorInParadise #bip," Steffen explained on Twitter Monday night.
