Zach Shallcross sat down along with his Bachelor season 27 contestants for the Women Tell All, however the greatest takeaways occurred earlier than — and after — the lead was on the stage.
Brooklyn Willie and Kat Izzo had been nonetheless at odds throughout the Tuesday, March 14, episode over the rodeo racer defending Charity Lawson when Kat kissed Zach earlier than the one-on-one date on the February 27 episode. During Tuesday’s installment, Brooklyn doubled down on calling Kat “classless.”
“I think that the words that she used to describe me were more of a reflection on her character than mine,” Kat solely advised Us Weekly on the taping final month. “It was hurtful to hear ‘cause I had shown what kind of woman I am up until that point [by] being so supportive in every moment with all the girls. I am obviously a girls’ girl. So I understand the frustration behind the comments initially, but to continue to degrade me the way that she did, it got to the point where it’s just hurtful and it wasn’t necessary. And all in all, it was a reflection on who she is and how she carries herself, not me.”
She added, nevertheless, that she has made peace with Brooklyn and Charity.
“We have figured it out. We’re all friends. Like, even in Budapest, we were fine,” Kat stated. “I think that we all have to have grace for each other in these heightened emotional times and it’s never something that, like, I would not be friends with somebody over. I mean, I’m having grace with her, and I think she’s having grace with me too. And we’re doing our best.”
Later on throughout the Women Tell All, Jesse Palmer introduced Greer Blitzer into the recent seat to confront the primary impression rose winner for her resurfaced social media posts defending Blackface.
“Most disturbing of all were some posts in which you were defending a fellow classmate that posed in Blackface and Greer, the truth is, as a franchise, we’ve done a very poor job in the past of addressing serious topics head-on and we’re not going to miss that opportunity here tonight,” the host stated. “I know you have given a subsequent apology online but I do want to give you the opportunity here to address this.”
After Greer apologized once more, it was revealed that she frolicked with Dr. Kira Banks, a professor and Diversity Equity and Inclusion marketing consultant who was within the viewers.
“Meeting with Dr. Banks — she brought to my attention that it’s so important to be open-minded. It’s so important to question things and ask and not just do without thinking,” Greer stated. “Before you speak, think before you say something that could hurt someone else and do your research. So I looked up lectures and really wanted to dive deep into the history of Blackface and understand why it was wrong, why it was offensive and the research that I was able to do, I just realized it was symbolism for dehumanizing the Black community. And so what I said was wrong. What I said — defending that girl — was racist. And I want to take that accountability. I don’t want to excuse it.”
