Matt was on Good Morning America this morning and spoke to the Reporter on how tough ‘The Final Rose’ was, particularly how the last year and everything that happened in the country really weighed on him in dealing with Rachael.
The most controversial season in ‘Bachelor’ history has come to an end … and the show’s final couple is no longer together thanks to racist posts and photos that surfaced in the middle of the season.
Matt James picked Rachael Kirkconnell during Monday’s ‘Bachelor’ finale, and though he didn’t propose, the couple seemed happy about their future together.
However, after the show’s production ended — and before Monday’s ‘Final Rose’ aired — old social media posts with Rachel Kirkconnell and the Confederate flag, pro Trump material and even photos of her at a college ‘antebellum’ party, celebrating the South’s racist past surfaced
Matt and Rachael came face-to-face in an awkward meeting where Rachael apologized and Matt shared the two were no longer a couple … saying the reason for the split was the old posts and photos.
