Jenn Tran is asking a certain Bachelorette contestant to check his ego. 

In a sneak peek clip shared exclusively with E! News,James Caldwell the season 21 Bachelorette puts a certain contestant—whose identity will remain a secret until the Men Tell All episode airs Aug. 27 at 8 p.m.—on blast. 

“I watched this back and watched how you interacted with these men,” Jenn explains during the clip. “Huffing and puffing your chest everywhere. The blatant disrespect to everybody.”

And while the “villain edit” is a common trope for those in the Bachelor Nation franchise, Jenn wasn’t going to let that be an excuse. 

“When you watched this back, you didn’t like what you saw,” Jenn continued. “Instead of taking accountability for your actions, you decided to blame it on the producers, on the edit, on the TV show—whatever it was.”

And while her delivery was certainly thorny, the 26-year-old emphasized that her harsh critique came from a place of care. 

“So, I truly want the best for you and I want you to learn and I want you to be happy,” she added. “But that’s only going to work if you take accountability and you do the work.”

The video may not reveal who is on the receiving end of Jenn’s words, but this isn’t the first time she’s clapped back at someone claiming they’ve been wrongfully portrayed as a villain this season. In fact, she recently reacted to contestant Sam McKinney—who was eliminated in episode six—trying to shut down that very situation on social media. 

“Listen, nobody can put words in your mouth,” Jenn responded on the Love to See It podcast Aug. 2. “And as much as a TV edit is, no one can give you a villain edit in some way, which is what people are claiming. You have to own your words, ’cause no one’s putting words in your mouth. You are the person that’s saying those things.”

Whatever her opinion on Sam, Jenn made it very clear that he is, at least, not the love of her life when she eliminated him just before the Hometowns episode on Aug. 12. Of course, it may have been made perfectly clear to her much earlier—when Sam jokingly threatened to push her off a building during their not-so-romantic one-on-one date in the July 29 episode. 

Still, Jenn continued to keep the main thing the main thing, continuing on her journey to find love.

Leading up to the Sept. 2 finale, Jenn has to decide whether she’ll be handing out her final rose to Jonathon Johnson, Devin Strader or Marcus Shoberg. And she’s already teased that it won’t be the ending fans—or even she—expected. 

“It's definitely a shocker of an ending,” she previously admitted to E! News. “It was a shocker to myself as well. You know, it's not how I saw the journey ending when I first started it. So I'm really excited for everyone to watch that back.” 

The Bachelorette airs Mondays at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.
