If you’ve been watching Rachel Lindsay’s season of The Bachelorette, you’re probably well aware of the drama contestant Lee has been causing. During this week’s episode, the “southern gentleman” received a rose despite picking fights with another contestant, Kenny. Lee has also been criticized for his past racist tweets.
While live-tweeting the episode Monday night, Rachel dispelled any future with Lee by clapping back at a post by former Bachelor contestant Leah Block. Block appeared on Ben Higgins’ season; you might remember she made accusations against Lauren Bushnell to stir up trouble.
Refinery29 reports that Block took a stab at the diversity of Rachel’s men. She tweeted, “I’m sitting here watching @BacheloretteABC and my roommate just sat down on the couch and said, ‘What is this? @LoveAndHipHop_?’ DEAD.”
For those who are unfamiliar, Love & Hip Hop is a reality show on VH1 with a mainly African American cast.
Astrid Loch, who competed on Nick Viall’s season of The Bachelor alongside Rachel, was quick to reply to Block with a sharp-tongued tweet. “Are you watching with Lee,” she asked.

Even better, Rachel weighed in on the racist tweet herself, foreshadowing Lee’s future boot from the season. “Let me know if she wants to meet Lee…they sound like they would have a lot in common,” she responded.

Block’s tweets and entire Twitter account have since been deleted, but thank goodness for screenshots.

We’re just glad to know Lee’s time on the show is almost over.
