Former “Bachelor” contestant Rachel Lindsay deleted her Instagram account this week after she received a slew of harassing messages from Bachelor Nation over the ongoing controversy involving racism and the show.

Lindsay’s “Higher Learning” podcast co-host, Van Lathan, explained the situation in a video on Instagram on Friday. “My co-host on ‘Higher Learning,’ Rachel Lindsay, disabled her Instagram earlier today. She did it because that’s how much hate she’s getting from Bachelor fans who are spamming her with all kinds of rude and hateful things to say.”
