Rachel Lindsay
In an op-ed for New York Magazine, Lindsay detailed her time on Bachelor Nation, explaining that after Vanessa Grimaldi called her a bully and started crying, she lost it on producers.
“When it was over, I stormed out — and of course the producers said, ‘Let’s talk about that. Why would you not show emotion?’ I lost it in the interview. I was bawling. I tried to explain, ‘You do not understand what it is to be a Black woman in this house full of white folks and for a white woman to cry in your face and call you a bully,'” Lindsay wrote in the story published in June 2021. “Did she call any of the other women a bully? No, she picked me. One, because she knew I was a threat — Nick [Viall] liked me the second most. Two, I felt she was projecting an unconscious bias onto me. I said, ‘I hope y’all show this in its entirety.’ An executive producer pulled me to the side and said, ‘This will never air.'”
