Rachel Lindsay gave an update on Becca Kufrin
While promoting MTV’s Ghosted: Love Gone Missing to Us Weekly, Lindsay also gave fans an update on how Kufrin is doing amid the breakup rumors.
“Becca is doing great… And what I respect about Becca [is] she does what I can’t do. Obviously, I have a big mouth. But what I respect about Becca is she doesn’t feed into rumors or negativity or anything that’s swirling out there. She’s just moving along. She’s surrounding herself with people that she loves and she’s doing her thing.
“I talk to her every week. We podcast every week, sometimes twice a week and she seems to be doing great… I appreciate the fact that she doesn’t feel the need to confirm or deny anything. She’s just like, ‘I’m living my life.’ And I appreciate that. Cause you already would have heard from me three times over.”
What Rachel Lindsay thinks happened between Becca Kufrin and Garrett Yrigoyen
During Kufrin’s season of The Bachelorette in 2018, it was revealed Yrigoyen liked memes that mocked the LGBTQ community, Parkland shooting victims, and immigrants. He promised viewers he would grow and change during “After the Final Rose.”
On June 4, 2020 Yrigoyen published a “Thin Blue Line” Instagram post to support law enforcement amid the Black Lives Matter movement. After he posted, Kufrin made it clear that she did not have the same views as him.
Lindsay told Us Weekly that she felt Yrigoyen had not changed and that his “Thin Blue Line” post was a relationship test.
“He’s a very nice guy… But what I also realize is their relationship hadn’t been tested. And then you have what happened with the pandemic, with Black Lives Matter. And you’re seeing a lot of people’s true colors come out,” Lindsay said.

She continued, “Some people are recognizing their ignorance and are wanting to change, and some people are wanting, are doubling down and wanting to stay in their ways. Garrett is a person who has doubled down. So to me, no, he’s not willing to change and it honestly kind of shows he never did.”
Her previous comments about Garrett Yrigoyen
This is not the first time Lindsay has called out Yrigoyen for doubling down on his views. On the Everything Iconic with Danny Pellegrino podcast, Lindsay told Pellegrino that she thinks Yrigoyen is a “piece of sh*t.”
“We had a podcast about diversity and what was going on in the country and her fiancé posted a Blue Lives Matter picture. And with his whole chest gave his long explanation as to why he felt that way,” she said.
Lindsay continued, “I think he’s a piece of sh*t… He has doubled down on his beliefs. This isn’t the first time he’s had problematic behavior. When he was on the season, he had a history of ‘liking’ things that were racist, sexist, homophobic, calling the Parkland students child actors, it was a lot, so this is who this man is. And he’s a piece of sh*t to me.”
