Matt James Applauded By Rachel Lindsay More ‘Bachelor’ Stars For Message Amid Racism Scandal
Matt James‘ season of The Bachelor has seen far more off-screen drama than anything on the actual ABC dating show, and now he’s spoken out about it. The first Black Bachelor posted a thoughtful Instagram post that addressed the racism controversy over his frontrunner Rachael Kirkconnell attending an antebellum themed frat party in college. That resulted in an awkward interview between longtime show host Chris Harrison and first Black Bachelorette Rachel Lindsay, that ended up seeing Harrison step away from the show for the foreseeable future after issuing a lengthy apology. Now Matt is being cheered on by fellow members of Bachelor Nation for how he addressed the situation.
