Charity Lawson Stands Up Against Negative Energy Directed at Rachel on The Bachelor Season 28

Charity Lawson, star of The Bachelorette season 20, has spoken out in defense of Rachel Nance, a contestant on The Bachelor season 28. Charity criticized fans of the show for displaying what she referred to as "mean girl energy." Charity was the runner-up on The Bachelor season 28, where Joey Graziadei was the leading man. This connection to Joey's season gives Charity a unique perspective on the situation.

Joey Graziadei has narrowed down his group of 32 women to three final contenders: Kelsey Anderson, Daisy Kent, and Rachel. After saying goodbye to fan favorite Maria Georgas following her hometown date, tensions rose among fans. Some of them directed their anger towards Rachel, which prompted Charity to speak out against this behavior in a social media post.

Charity pointed out that the comments directed towards Rachel after hometowns were quite strange. She emphasized that it's important to remember that it's just a show and there's no need to put others down to show support for your favorite. This behavior can come off as mean girl energy, which was something that had caused uproar earlier in the season. Charity's observation may have been related to the situation involving Maria's departure and the bullying she faced from Sydney Gordon, Lea Cayanan, and Jess Edwards.

In a Reddit thread, Reddit user Hungry-Nerve-9743 brought up the issue of The Bachelor season 28 not showing enough of Joey's connection with Rachel. They pointed out that Rachel wouldn't have made it to the final three without a strong connection. Hungry-Nerve-9743 suggested that maybe Rachel was not being portrayed accurately due to editing, mentioning that part of her hometown date was not shown on the show. They also expressed concern about the negative comments and hate Rachel receives, including racist remarks on her Instagram.

It is important to note that some fans are being hypocritical in their online bullying of Rachel, as they were previously outraged by Maria's treatment during The Bachelor season 28. Personal attacks, especially based on race, should never be directed towards contestants. Charity, who also faced disgusting behavior from fans during her season, agrees with this sentiment. Viewers need to understand that The Bachelor producers create a specific narrative, which may not always reflect the full truth in their storytelling.

Rachel has been a dignified, fun, and caring contestant. She hasn't been involved in any drama and has been focused completely on Joey. They always have such a great time together, which is why he enjoys spending time with her. Their strong connection is clear, but some may be too focused on other contestants to see it. Rachel deserves to be in the final three because Joey chose her, and it's his decision. Hopefully, their connection will continue to grow stronger, and viewers will get to see it.

Don't forget to catch The Bachelor season 28 airing Mondays at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.
