Serene Russell supports Rachel Nance against racist backlash following her emotional experience on season 28 of “The Bachelor.”
Serene Russell’s got Rachel Nance’s back. It’s all over the news after the recent “Women Tell All” episode.
Rachel faced some pretty harsh racist backlash. And honestly? It’s just heartbreaking.
Serene, who’s no stranger to the spotlight, shared her thoughts on Instagram. “It’s insane we’re still dealing with this in 2024,” she wrote.
Remember Serene? She first popped up on Clayton Echard’s season. Then, she got engaged to Brandon Jones on “Bachelor in Paradise.” Now, she’s speaking out.
She’s proud of Rachel for speaking up. Despite the negativity overshadowing her experience.
Serene’s message was clear. There’s more to Rachel than this ugly incident. “No one should have to experience this,” she added.
Rachel got emotional during the “Women Tell All” episode. She recalled the racist hate she received. All because she got a rose from Joey Graziadei.
The comments were vile. “Jungle Asian,” “the N-word.” Just because she got a rose. Frustrating doesn’t even begin to cover it.
Us Weekly caught up with Rachel after the taping. She shared her thoughts on the backlash.
Despite the exhaustion of the ceremonies, Rachel stood by her actions. She and Maria were fine, she insisted.
And then, there’s a link to “Biggest Bachelor Nation Scandals of All Time.” Because, let’s face it, drama is part of the package.
Rachel didn’t get a rose after fantasy suite week. Joey’s final picks were Kelsey Anderson and Daisy Kent.
“The Bachelor” wraps up soon. Tune in to ABC Monday, March 25, at 8 p.m. ET.
And there you have it. A rollercoaster of emotions, drama, and support. Just another day in Bachelor Nation.
