After Harrison got reaction from the interview, he connected to Lindsay and said sorry. He then published a declaration to Instagram stating he’s “deeply sorry” for “speaking in a manner that perpetuates racism.” While Lindsay stated she valued the apology, she acknowledged she was having a tough time accepting it.
“When I finished that interview with Chris Harrison, he had no problems with it,” she discussed. “He was fine. He texted me after. He appreciated the conversation. He was like, ‘Yeah, I’ll probably get a little flack,’ but thought it was great we could disagree but do it in a civil way. It wasn’t until the backlash came the next day. It wasn’t until people start talking, people start demanding for different things, that he then apologized to me and then apologized publicly. For me, I’m trying to reason which one is it? Because, to me, Tuesday was your truth, and Wednesday was after the fact. Wednesday was a response to the backlash.”
