‘The Bachelor’ spoilers find that Rachael Kirkconnell has come clean in the aftermath of The Bachelor. Sadly, her time had been clouded by accusations of racism in light of her previous social media activity.
‘The Bachelor’ Spoilers: Rachael Kirkconnell Speaks Out Following The Conclusion Of The Show
The posts included some racist college photos which could not have resurfaced at a worse time. She has, nevertheless, recognised her actions were deplorable. In an interview with Bachelor host Emmanuel Acho, she said she had no reasons to complain: “I see someone who was living in ignorance without even thinking about who it would be hurting.
“I’m not gonna sit here and say I didn’t know any better because I could have easily asked myself those questions. I never took the time to make that connection because if I would have taken the time, I easily could’ve understood what was wrong with it. There is no excuse.” It was even more disappointing given that Matt James had invested so much time in her. The duo were very close on the show, and the chemistry between them was undeniable.
But once the scandal broke, Matt felt that things were no longer tenable. But he recognised, Rachael had some soul-searching to do. When addressing the breakup, he said: “I have to take a step back and allow her to put in the work.We are not [together]. It was as tough as you can imagine. It’s heartbreaking. If you don’t understand that something like that was problematic in 2018, there’s a lot of me that you won’t understand.”
Rachael ,for her part, made efforts to put things right, but it never seemed to be enough. There were concerns that she was not being genuine, and these were raised by Rachel Lindsay. She felt that Rachael had to put her words into practice. That is why Rachael decided to take some time for herself: “I wanted myself to really understand exactly why people were so hurt by this because I want to do better,” she stated.
It is such a shame that Matt and Rachael had to experience this. It will serve as an example for future contestants to be more careful on social media.
