Bachelor Rachel Lindsays Double Standard For Claudia Oshry & Chris Harrison Explained

Despite most fans of The Bachelor franchise recently praising Rachel Lindsay, some are accusing her of being a hypocrite. Rachel has been quite adamant about Chris Harrison needing to leave the franchise for good due to the recent controversy following an interview where he defended contestant Rachael Kirkconnell. In fact, she reportedly did not even accept his apology following their sit-down conversation. Now, some fans are claiming Rachel holds a “double standard” due to her friendship with media personality Claudia Oshry.

Earlier this month, Rachel sat down (virtually) with Chris to discuss the allegations of racism tied to contestant Rachael Kirkconnell. During the interview, Chris defended Rachael while also issuing some racially insensitive remarks. The backlash Chris received from the interview resulted in him stepping away from The Bachelor for an undetermined amount of time. As the show has been rushing to find a new host to replace Chris for the After the Final Rose special, they even contemplated cutting Chris out of the remaining episodes to avoid any further outrage regarding the disgraced host.

Now, a portion of Bachelor Nation is calling for Rachel to become a victim of “cancel culture” due to her “double standards.” One fan on Reddit called Rachel a hypocrite because she is friends with Claudia Oshry, who supposedly “hates Muslims.” In 2018, past anti-Muslim remarks tweeted by Claudia resurfaced. Though she apologized for the tweets, many fans still feel they reflect her actual opinions (via NY Daily News). The fan claimed, “The only difference between Harrison and Oshry is their disrespect towards Blacks and Muslims. Her actions show that if someone is racist towards Blacks they are held accountable for everyone else it’s a pass.” The fan went on to say that Rachel was a main factor in Chris’s temporary departure from the show. However, she continues to stay friends with Claudia despite her past racist remarks.

Many other fans chimed in with their opinions on the post. While Rachel is praised for speaking out about what she believes in, she still has some “big blind spots” of her own. While everyone has their flaws, many do not think Rachel should be put on the “impossible pedestal” where much of Bachelor Nation has placed her. It has even been mentioned numerous times that fans actually want Rachel to be the one to replace Chris. Because she is so glorified by such a large fan base, it seems as though no negative comments can be made about her. One Reddit user pointed out, “No one is allowed to mention anything that could be slightly unflattering about her.” They continued on, saying, “People shouldn’t be immune to feedback or criticism just bc they are the person of the hour.”

While many are surprised Rachel’s friendship with Claudia has not resulted in her becoming a victim to cancel culture, it’s not surprising, especially since she’s the current face of diversity in Bachelor Nation. While many fans applaud Rachel for her brave fight for equality, others think she should lose her place of notoriety in the Bachelor franchise and her spot on Extra due to her contradicting actions. Bachelor Nation is definitely torn on the never-ending controversy as they continue to express their mixed emotions.
