I just know that, I don’t know, 50 million people did that in 2018. “You’re 100 percent right in 2021,” Harrison then said.
She added, “If I went to that party, what would I represent at that party?” “It’s not a good look ever,” Lindsay said. Harrison became defensive and argued, “Well, Rachel is it a good look in 2018? Or, is it not a good look in 2021? Because there’s a big difference.” In response to Harrison, Lindsay said, “The picture was from 2018 at an Old South antebellum party… that’s not a good look.” Like, boom,” Harrison said, in regards to the photos of Kirkconnell at the plantation-themed party. “I saw a picture of her at a sorority party five years ago and that’s it. A few times throughout the interview, Lindsay - who has been a fierce critic of “The Bachelor” franchise’s diversity issues - questioned Harrison’s comments and provided her opposing viewpoint, but the interview never got overly tense or heated.

I also apologize to my friend Rachel Lindsay for not listening to her better on a topic she has a first-hand understanding of, and humbly thank the members of Bachelor Nation who have reached out to me to hold me accountable. “What I now realize I have done is cause harm by wrongly speaking in a manner that perpetuates racism, and for that I am so deeply sorry.
“While I do not speak for Rachael Kirkconnell, my intentions were simply to ask for grace in offering her an opportunity to speak on her own behalf,” Harrison continued. “I have this incredible platform to speak about love, and yesterday I took a stance on topics about which I should have been better informed.” “To my Bachelor Nation family - I will always own a mistake when I make one, so I am here to extend a sincere apology,” Harrison posted. Harrison has apologized for his commentary, posting on his social media on Wednesday evening. The lengthy interview has received heavy backlash against Harrison, who is being criticized by critics and fans for defending racist behavior.
