She is accepting his rose – er, olive branch.
Rachel Lindsay formally accepted Chris Harrison’s last apology about her controversial “Extra” interview – in “Extra”, no less.
Asked by Billy Bush what she thought of Harrison’s defense of Lindsay after she was essentially forced out of Instagram by militant factions from the “Nation of Singles”, Lindsay said: “I didn’t expect him, you know, to address what it’s happening to me because this is the first time we’ve heard from Chris, but the fact that he addressed the harassment and hatred that I’ve been getting, I really appreciate that. “
Bush continued, asking, “As for the general apology, do you accept it?”
“I accept the excuses,” said Lindsay, 35, “and I think it’s important for me to say that because I haven’t talked about Chris and the statement yet, because I’m not trying to make this a Chris-versus-Rachel, but … this is not the first time he has apologized to me – he apologized again at ‘GMA’ today and I accept that and I think it is important for me to say that because we need to move on. ”
“And for me, so that we can move forward,” she continued, “I need to accept the apology, so that we can all improve on this situation, which is what we want”.
Urged by Bush on what it would be like to “move forward,” Lindsay replied: “There are a number of questions that have arisen because of this interview and I think it is important that we continue the conversation, keep going. And I think it’s the best thing that we can expect from all of this. “
It is the latest development in the Russian wartime novel that is the post-pandemic franchise “Bachelor / ette”, which has seen a competitor leave a season early and eventually split from the person she left the season for. and the previous problematic involvement of a competitor with Antebellum signifiers came to the fore.
It was the last one – Rachael Kirkonnell being the competitor – that Harrrison, 49, was connected to. He invoked the phrase “woke up the police” in an interview with Lindsay while questioning whether Kirkonnell’s participation in an Old South themed party was a “bad look in 2018”. (Kirkconnell made his own excuses.)
Harrison walked away after stepping on him, but said he will be back. Page six is properly stuck.
