Rachel Lindsay Speaks Out After Deactivating Her Instagram Account

  

Rachel Lindsay

    is making it clear enough is enough

i'm honestly exhausted the former

bachelorette star deactivated her

instagram account over the weekend

and on tuesday she revealed on her

podcast higher learning

that the decision came after bachelor

fans would not

stop harassing her in the comments after 

this

february interview with franchise host 

chris harrison

well rachel is it a good look in 2018 or

is it not a good look in 2021

because there's a big difference ever

because you're she's celebrating the old

south she's so

if i went to that party what would i

represent at that party

chris appeared to defend current

bachelor contestant rachel kercanel

in that interview please stop saying

that i did nothing wrong

that's not true she's under fire for

past racially insensitive actions

including attending an old south

plantation themed party

while in college in 2018. we have to be 

so

careful when we start labeling people

after the interview went viral

chris took a step back from the series

and his future with the show

remains up in the air people are

attacking me because they think that i'm

trying to cancel someone so they're on a

mission to cancel me i'm getting

threatened people are threatening like

oh i have this on you i have this i'm 

just waiting

so you get back on social to unleash

this kind of stuff i mean it's

you know you're affecting people's 

well-being

where does it end where does it stop

like until you take everybody down that 

can't be it

the tv host called out the bachelor 

franchise for not

speaking out on her behalf amid the 

controversy

everyone who's been at issue has issued

an apology except for the franchise

except for the network except for the

production company

you need to hear something from them

they need to come out and say something 

they need to

grab a hold of this and control the 

situation

because right now you're letting your

fans speak for you

rachel's podcast was seemingly recorded

just hours before

this statement from the show hit the 

internet quote

as executive producers of the bachelor

franchise we would like to make it 

perfectly clear

that any harassment directed towards 

rachel lindsay

in the aftermath of her interview with

chris harrison is completely 

unacceptable

in these times right now i feel like we

all are self-reflecting on

have you been an ally what what are you

affiliated with that is part of the

problem you know different you know

you're just you're just looking within

during these times and as i look within

i look at my affiliation with the

bachelor franchise and what's wrong and

i did find it frustrating i don't want

to be affiliated with

a franchise who's not on the right side 

of this

at this time at this point you can't be

neutral you're either on the wrong side 

or the right side

rachel has yet to respond to the stamp

of support but she does appear to be 

distancing herself

from the brand i woke up i looked at my

phone one of the first things

i saw something negative and i said you

know what not today

not even this weekend it was the best 

decision

that i could do for myself to detach 

from that negativity

i needed that i feel so much better i'm 

not 100

but i feel lighter the reality star sat

out of the latest episode of her

bachelor recap podcast

bachelor happy hour where co-host becca 

kufrin

shared that she stands by rachel taking 

a break she

has been taking on so much in the world

of bachelor nation and i want to

extend my support and friendship and

just give her 

a little break you.
