I agree with Rachel that Garrett is a POS, in part for the reasons you mention, but by saying it publicly (not to Becca but on a different podcast) she no doubt made things worse for her. Whatever was going on BTS, the last thing Becca needed was someone making Garrett even more hostile.
Rachel really needs to learn when to shut up.
All JMO

This is from July 30:

And her uh fiancé posted a blue lives matter picture and with his whole chest gave this like long explanation as to why he felt that way. So I got on the podcast saying it was problematic, what it meant to me, we both got emotional. I was just like I’m tired that everybody woke up in 2020 and realized that racism f*cking exists. Like what? It’s been happening and it was great for our friendship, Becca and I have a friendship, so I will refrain from talking about her relationship out of respect for her but I think he’s a piece of sh*t. And I, I said to her I will not f*ck with him. He has doubled down on his beliefs, this isn’t the first time he’s had problematic behavior. When he was on the season he had a history of liking things that were racist, sexist, homophobic - calling the Parkland students child actors. I mean it’s, it was a lot, so this is who this man is and he’s a piece of sh*t to me.

I don't think that Becca ever needed to defend Garret. Sometimes silence speaks volumes.

As for Rachel, IMO there is a world of difference between talking about a person directly (i.e. calling Garrett a POS,) and talking about that person's behavior. When you talk about a person's behavior, you are not engaging in "cancel culture" but instead leaving the door open (however tiny a crack) to that person changing in a positive direction. There are lots of words that Rachel could have used and combined instead -- words like awful, horrible, ill-advised, deplorable, etc. She could have said, "I think Garrett has behaved in an unfortunate, deplorable manner. His behavior has been awful." It gets the same point across, but IMO doesn't drag herself down in the process. Again, at the time this was the fiance of her best friend and podcast partner.

I feel that Rachel needs to think about what kind of image she wants to project while in a public role. I've always seen her as classy, but you have to watch your words in order to maintain that image. Using a term like POS puts you more into "shock jock" territory IMO.

There have been many opinions about Becca and Garrett but from my understanding this was the last statement she made on the subject: ""For those who are curious about my relationship with Garrett at this point, all I can say right now is that I don't know," she shared at the time. "I can't give anything more than that. It's something that we are trying to work through and discuss and do work on at home at this time and that's where the work will remain and that's really the best I can give you at this point."                                                
Imo we should respect Becca enough to not add to her words. Love does not just end because opinions are different. Some will say their opinions are just too different but I think that is their ( Becca and Garrett) lives and theirs only to judge and decide on. The cruel things being said- Imo- are by some from bachelor nation that have always been very judgemental in their opinions and will continue in their judgments on others. Becca is her own woman IMO and will follow her own heart with her own decisions. All of course JMO.

It looks like Becca met up with Kaitlyn -- maybe she was able to give her some good advice on how to handle things.

I can't view the vid in that article. If anyone outside the US can't view it, try this.

I saw this article which shows a lovely place. I don't see where Becca and K met up but K posted an IG pic that she's in L.A.

The former Bachelorette, 30, posted a video on her Instagram Stories on Thursday, August 20, of a different living room than the one she shares with her fiancé, 31, in Carlsbad, California. In the clip, she zoomed in on her dog, Minno, as the corgi sprawled out on a gray couch.

Earlier in the day, Kufrin shared a photo of an empty box with packing peanuts that had spilled all over the floor. “One of my worst nightmares,” she captioned the snap.

Becca will appear on Juan Pablo's GOAT episode on September 7th.

Maybe this will be her moment to formally announce the split? or will CH just try to pump her for dirt like he did Cassie?

How long ago were the GOAT eps filmed?

Hmm, wouldn't be surprised if it's announcing the split. Especially since they haven't confirmed anything themselves yet, even though it's obvious they're not together imo. E News could've gotten scoop that Becca was filming something like this, which is why they ran the breakup story.

Here’s the portion of the press release for Juan Pablo’s GOAT discussing Becca’s appearance.

“ On proposal day, Clare finally saw Juan Pablo for who he was. She stood up for herself and put him in his place – one of the most incredible and empowering moments in the history of “The Bachelor.” Two Bachelorettes – DeAnna Pappas-Stagliano and Becca Kufrin – will discuss this iconic moment in Bachelor history with Chris from their homes, as well as what Clare’s triumph meant to them.”

I just think it's odd that Becca hasn't announced anything yet. I would think it would be a relief and easier to address it and then move on. JMO.

I wouldn’t say it was a triumph. Clare showed up and appeared to be open to JPG picking her. Realizing, in the final moment, she had been in a toxic relationship with him is a good thing but calling it incredible + empowering IMO is overboard. More like a learning opportunity.
It will be interesting to hear how DeAnna and Becca interpret this as iconic.
