'Bachelor' Star Rachael Kirkconnell Issues Statement Amid Racism Scandal

Fans were more than excited about Matt James‘s season of The Bachelor, but lately, they’ve been left wanting more. To be fair, there were a lot of high expectations. Matt’s season featured an extremely diverse cast, takes place in a lovely fall setting and followed an extremely dramatic season of The Bachelorette.

But just as Matt started getting close to Rachael Kirkconnell, information about her past started to come to light. Former high school classmates accused her of bullying them for dating Black men, and her social media history seems to reflect many racist sentiments.

Chris Harrison later spoke up about Rachael’s past, but all he did was make a bad situation worse. He later apologized for his insensitive comments, which seems to have forced Rachael to step up and take accountability for the accusations against her.
