Rachel Lindsay Slams Becca Kufrin's 'Bachelorette' Finale
by EG
This week's finale of The Bachelorette continues to cause controversy, not just because Becca Kufrin chose a contestant with a history of homophobic tweets. The finale was also a problem for Bachelorette alum Rachel Lindsay, who thinks Kufrin got special treatment in the way the episode was staged. Read on for details.

All is fair in love and roses? Becca Kufrin responded after fellow Bachelorette Rachel Lindsay criticized how ABC edited their respective season finales differently, admitting that she was “a little pissed off” that Kufrin wasn’t forced to watch her split with Blake Horstmann play out on live TV in the same way that Lindsay was on her season finale.
“To be quite honest I didn’t remember that that even happened last year, but every show format is a little bit different,” Kufrin told Us Weekly during a conference call on Tuesday, August 7. “You know last [season], we had the two-night finale where they showed the breakup and then everything after that in two nights, so I think it’s just always different. I don’t really have much of a say in that.”
Lindsay starred on The Bachelorette during season 13 in 2017. Fans may remember that she was on stage with host Chris Harrison during the three-hour finale special, watching her split with her runner-up Peter Kraus in front of the live studio audience. The attorney revealed in her exclusive Us Weekly blog that she was upset that Kufrin was not forced to do the same.
“Take a trip down memory lane to exactly, oh let’s say one year ago. Becca did not sit on stage for three hours and watch the finale for the first time in front of a live audience. Becca did not have to deal with someone telling her she would live a mediocre life,” Lindsay wrote, referring to Kraus’ remarks. “Becca did not have to deal with being baited with real time questions about her emotions watching certain scenes. Nope, that was me. Let’s just be honest, Becca did not have the finale that I had.”
