My days are numbered
— Rachel Lindsay (@TheRachLindsay) February 10, 2021
Lindsay replied to a Twitter thread by HuffPost senior reporter Emma Gray calling out Harrison on Feb. 10, saying, "My days are numbered." She then posted a picture of herself meditating on Instagram Feb. 11, with the caption: "God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, Courage to change the things I can, and Wisdom to know the difference 🖤"
During the Feb. 12 episode of Van Lathan's Higher Learning podcast, Lindsay spoke at length about the Extra interview with Harrison. She also revealed that she will not be renewing her contract with The Bachelor franchise when it is up. "I'm f*cking tired. I'm exhausted. I have truly had enough," Lindsay can be heard saying on the podcast. "My entire reason for doing The Bachelorette . . . is that I wanted to be representative as a Black woman to this audience. And I wanted to pave the way for more people to have this opportunity. In some ways that has happened. I wanted the franchise to be better."
In response to the Extra interview, she had this to say, "They hired a diversity consultant — who didn't attend the class? Did Chris Harrison not sit through that? I'm confused as to how you could have whole consultants working for you, yet what happened just happened."
