Peter Weber Slams Ex-Producer's Tell-All Memoir

Former Bachelor Peter Weber has voiced strong objections to a memoir written by ex-producer Julie LaPlaca, titled "The Love Producer." Weber expressed that he repeatedly requested LaPlaca maintain the privacy of their intimate details during his season. He revealed that LaPlaca allegedly advised him against giving Hannah Ann Sluss a rose, a move he found manipulative. Weber also condemned former host Chris Harrison for endorsing LaPlaca's book, stating it made him "sick."

LaPlaca, who will release her book on July 7, acknowledged Weber's displeasure but stated her intention to share her suppressed truth and journey. She described an intense bond with Weber, admitting lines blurred due to the nature of their producer-lead dynamic. LaPlaca clarified that while the role was emotionally demanding, she felt no ethical boundaries were crossed, though it impacted her conscience and eventual departure from the show. She mentioned a period of grief after their close nine-month connection ended when Weber began dating Kelley Flanagan.
