Former Bachelorette Rachel Lindsay has connected with E!'s Nina Parker to share her thoughts on Drew Brees' apology, her status with Hannah B., and her 'hope' moving forward.
Although Rachel said she wouldn't criticize Drew's sincerity, she did have a few things to say about the execution of the apology.
"I'm not one to critique someone's apology as far as the sincerity of it," Rachel relayed."But I think if you look at the totality of what he's said, back from when Kaepernick first took a knee four years ago to what he said yesterday to what he said now, I think he's kind of shown who he is at this point."
Furthermore, Rachel noted that she isn't"a fan of you apologizing through words." Following his remarks, the NFL star took to Instagram and shared a written apology alongside a picture of a black person and a white person holding hands."I've also been told that the photo that he used on Instagram was a stock photo and that he had words," she continued.
"Four years ago, no one was fighting for Black Lives Matter except for black people. Now, it's just water across the board," Rachel added."So, you've got LeBron James speaking out, you've got your teammates speaking out and you have to play with these individuals." Even though Drew's team called a meeting to address the issue, Rachel said the professional quarterback"showed his hand."
