years after her season ended bachelorette and Gabby Wendy, Rachel Recchia The flames of the past slipped into her private messages.
“One of the people who declined my rose sent me a private message,” Rachel, 28, said on the Saturday, Dec. 21 episode of the Almost Famous podcast, noting that she received it about a month ago This message. “He didn’t send the message, but I have the screenshot.”
When asked why the contestant was sending a DM, Rachel said, “If you’re going to send a message like that and he’s also apologizing in a way, say it with your boobs.”
“He started off by saying, ‘Yo. What happened to Rachel, I know, very casual. I was really just thinking about my time at the Bach House and all the regrets I had for not seeing things clearly. I definitely have to reach out. Helping hands, because it’s something that’s been on my mind and something that I’ve been thinking about for a few years now, what could have been and how interesting it could have been,” she read. “So I just wanted to see if you wanted to sit down and have a drink or two and relax.”
Rachel explained that she thought the contestant was thinking about how he was “completely losing the experience of the show.”
“I thought, ‘You didn’t even give me a chance, so I’m not going to give you a chance now,'” she said. “But you know what, we could have made a difference.”
Rachel explained that the former suitor, who follows her on Instagram, “chose to go home” in the second week, even though she “wants him to be there”.
“I felt terrible reading this, but you know what I mean,” Rachel told co-host and former Bachelorette Trista Sartre. “This is crazy.”
Recalling her time leading the show with Gabby, 33, Rachel explained that the contestants were split between two women.
“As far as I know, the boys don’t know that once you don’t get a rose from one person, you don’t get a rose from another person,” Rachel said. “So, a guy said ‘no’ to my rose because he thought he could get Gabby’s rose, to be fair, and then it went downhill.”
Rachel called the rose ceremony “the most humiliating night” of her life. “Your confidence is already like, ‘Do these people like me?’ I was nervous, it was my first time doing this,” she said. “People will say, ‘I’d rather go home than date you’… It’s horrible.”
From Rachel’s perspective, these men “really wanted to have power.” She added, “They’re so used to being the suitors, and when it’s in our hands, I feel like it takes away their masculinity. When they feel like, ‘Oh, I’m not your front-runner, I’m just going to leave. , because I don’t want you to reject me,'”
Rachel finally accepted the offer from Tino Franco During season 19 of the ABC drama, the pair split after it was revealed that he had kissed another woman during a difficult period in their relationship.
