While I only started watching the show again in the last few seasons I am completely done with this franchise. I’ll follow online to find out how this season turns out, but I cannot watch this franchise anymore. If they want to get their ratings from casting a woman with racist views and then encouraging that relationship—in 2020 no less—that is on them. It’s not entertainment but is causing harm to those in the black community. Having said that, I don’t wish any ill will to Rachael. I do hope she legitimately comes around and leaves behind her racist views and behaviors. jmo

ITA I'd like to know how they approached her, without her applying. On Oct 6th when RS spoiled her, her IG was deactivated. Her IG cache was captured. Her IG Cache still appear on google searches. She had 186 posts and was following 965. Once she reactivated her account, she had 149 posts and was following 304. She got rid of over 600 IG's that she was following.
