Matt James Heartbroken at After the Final Rose
Matt James isn’t a man of many words. At least not during his time on The Bachelor. But during his confrontation with Rachael Kirkconnell at the After the Final Rose, he was completely shell-shocked.
Host Emmanuel Acho tried to gently nudge answers out of Matt James, only to be met with pained silence. Matt James just couldn’t find the words to express his hurt and disappointment in his final rose recipient.
At the end of The Bachelor, Matt and Rachael rode off into the sunset, destined for happiness. Then the wheels came off when Rachael’s racially insensitive behavior came to light.
As he explained during ATFR, Matt didn’t want to believe the things he was seeing “floating” around social media. However, when the reality set in that the photos and ‘likes’ were real, Matt James ended the relationship.
