Bachelorette 13 - Rachel Lindsay - SM Media - *Sleuthing Spoilers* Discussion - #9

lleyki wrote:Unpopular opinion but I hope that's the last of the clap-backs from her because she's starting to skirt dangerously close to Kaitlyn territory, in my opinion. Wasn't Rachel the one saying she didn't care what people on social media had to say because she didn't know them so what they thought meant nothing to her?

I understand why she responded to Leah because that tweet by Leah was completely tone deaf but I don't think this latest thing required a response. Not everyone will love her and sing her praises in their recap of the show. I like Rachel and I certainly understand why some are living for her zero f... responses but yeah, starting to get a little overly and unnecessarily confrontational, IMO.

IA. I don't mind the occasional reply when it's well deserved, like in Leah's case, but going after someone because of a snarky recap? It's just unnecessary. People are going to have opinions and they should feel free to express them on their own SM. If Rachel wants to police them then she's in for a loooong season. It just always makes me wonder how happy these people really are when they get all sensitive on SM. I hope this is not indicative of any trouble in paradise. JMO.

Iirc past female leads have had their baddies step up to the plate for them, I hope Rachel's BBB is doing the same for her. All imo.

I understand that Rachel can't respond to everything, and I know that Everyone won't like Rachel. But that tweet bothered me as well. Telling another black woman to get over the SAME struggles you deal with on a daily basis is insulting IMO. I know Rachel won't reply to everyone, but I'm honestly glad she responded to that one. All JMO.

The f1s cannot support their girl till the end no ?

I remember JP doing sn interview ( he and RyanP when Ash was having a bad time ) while that season was still airing supporting her but besides that I don't remember the guys (Chris Shawn Jordan) actually saying something.
