TheBachelor contestant Greer Blitzer apologized for defending blackface back in 2016, a revelation that surfaced on Reddit. “I’ve been wanting to address this. I don’t want to sweep it under the rug.'
from 2016 where Blitzer defended wearing blackface. The reality star apologized on her own social media in January for the racially insensitive tweets, but the show had not addressed the controversy until now.
“The truth is, as a franchise, we’ve done a very poor job in the past of addressing serious topics head-on, and we’re not going to miss that opportunity here tonight,” Palmer said. The scandal surrounding Blitzer surfaced last year once “The Bachelor” Season 27 cast was announced. In her old tweets, Blitzer defended a high school student for wearing blackface, allegedly tweeting in 2016, “The students involved didn’t even know what blackface was so my point exactly. It wasn’t an intentional racist act.” Another alleged tweet read, “This previous incident was dumb not racist? She did not paint herself black because she felt superior to black ppl.
“I’m just deeply sorry that I hurt the Black community,” she said. “I can’t go back in time. All I can do is try to be better now and try to do better in my future.”
