When Rachel explained that going to the occasion was “not a good look,” Chris responded, “Well, Rachel, is it a good look in 2018, or is it not a good look in 2021? Because there’s a big difference.”
After the Bachelor Happy Hour podcast host stated that the celebration was “celebrating the Old South,” Chris countered, “That was not the case in 2018. And again, I’m not defending Rachael. I just know that, I don’t know, 50 million people did that in 2018. That was a type of party that a lot of people went to. And again, I’m not defending it; I didn’t go to it.”
The previous lead of The Bachelorette revealed it’s “frustrating” that Rachael hasn’t dealt with the Reddit post from January, leading Chris to describe the circumstance as a “slippery slope.”
He included, “The woke police is out there. And this poor girl Rachael, who has just been thrown to the lions, I don’t know how you are equipped when you have never done this before, to be woke enough, to be eloquent enough, to be ready to handle this.”
Chris explained Rachael did not participate in the Women Tell All unique that was just recently shot, and he stated it is not the program’s duty to deal with the circumstance prior to the entrant herself does.
