Rachel Lindsay – who, as the first black woman to ever serve as a incumbent Bachelorette, found herself frequently placed in a position to criticize the media and bring to light the franchise’s multiple issues regarding race – she has now deactivated her Instagram account after the show’s “fans” became toxic and abusive to her. This, as a result of the controversy surrounding the series of controversial realities, as a long-term host Chris Harrison announced that “one stepside” from the show for a while after an interview with Lindsay in which he came out on behalf of a competitor who was photographed participating in a “plantation party” that invokes the troops and the aesthetics of the South Antebel, who holds slaves.
In her role as Additional correspondent, Lindsay went, with aplomb, a incredibly complex rope in that interview, one that Bthe lack of women are often asked to perform …coming out simultaneously as a well-earned moral voice revolt, an interesting and objective evaluator of the displayed problems and a warm and pleasant TV presence. (Meanwhile, Harrison discussed the “awakened police” and tried to insist that no one knew how not to dress like a slave owner in 2018. All of this, apparently, earned her a disappointing wave for her troubles. , but not unexpected online abuse that followed.
On variety, Lindsay’s departure from social networks was announced by her co-host of podcasts Van Lathan, who remarked on his own social networks that his friend “Didentify him because he is given so much hatred Bachelor fans, who spam her with all sorts of rude, ugly things to say. “(He also took some pictures of Harrison, calling him ‘a 49-year-old man who can not read the camera in the present 2021 times. ”)
Rachael Kirkconnell, Bachelor competitor whose photos started this last iteration of Bachelor: He still has problems with the race, right?, has since joined many other voices in the franchise, asking fans not to attack Lindsay for her reasonable interrogation of both Kirkconnell Harrison’s own actions and statements.
It is not yet known when, if ever, Harrison will be expected to return to the franchise.
