Rachael Kirkconnell, the Bachelor star who’s been under fire for controversial racist past is finally speaking out. Rachael has been under fire after old social media posts uncovered things like her appearing at a plantation themed party and liking posts with the confederate flag. She did release a written statement earlier this month but felt the need to speak out via video she uploaded to her IG. In an over 7 minute long video Rachael says she wants to use her platform to educate people as to why her previous actions were wrong.

She went on to say for all of the white people who’ve been messaging her defending her and telling her she’s done nothing wrong, please stop.

Rachael is one of 3 finalists in Matt James Bachelor season and we’ll find out who he picks when the finale airs in a couple of weeks.
