So it’s been floating across the web since September when Greer Blitzer was introduced as a doable contestant on Zach’s season, that she had some very troubling tweets from 2016, the place she was defending an individual who appeared at a celebration in blackface as Tupac. So yesterday, Greer issued an apology on her IG story. Once once more, these are simply written statements, simply phrases, and this apology isn’t for me. But if we’re rating apologies that contestants have needed to make in recent times, I’d say this might’ve been finished higher. First off, it was on her IG story, which means her apology is gone after 24 hours. If you had been actually critical about apologizing, wouldn’t you retain this in your IG feed? Secondly, she by no means says her conduct was racist. Uses phrases like “wrong,” “uneducated,” and “ignorant,” however leaves out a very powerful phrase. And lastly, she makes a degree to say what hurts her probably the most isn’t that the screenshots resurfaced, however that “she ever shared those harmful opinions at all.” What about even having these ideas within the first place? Like I stated, may’ve been higher. But, she’s apologized, and lets see her conduct from this level ahead to find out if she has actually modified. That’s all we are able to do. Yet as soon as once more, a easy vetting course of by the present fails. It’s unreal how a lot they don’t care to do their job.
Also again in September when the potential girls for Zach’s season was posted on the Bachelor Facebook web page, it was dropped at my consideration that Olivia Miller had loads of photos on her IG, and had tweeted a month earlier, about her boyfriend Mike Renner, who lasted 3 or 4 episodes on Becca’s season. Because Mike was a former podcast visitor, I reached out to him on to ask what the state of affairs was. He stated that they’d damaged up and every week later she was reached out to by the present. And she requested him if he was okay along with her occurring the present and he was. Well, yesterday Olivia took to her IG to exhausting launch their relationship as they’ve been relationship since she bought again from filming, however she couldn’t say something till she was formally “eliminated” from the present.
Remember in yesterday’s column the place I stated I’d heard of three girls this season that bought again with guys as soon as filming ended however didn’t need to identify any names because it was principally inconceivable to show? Well, this was one in every of them I’d heard, so her exhausting launch yesterday confirmed it. I’m fairly certain the opposite two I heard are additionally true. Maybe these will change into public on social media sooner or later.
