LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Rachel Recchia's journey on 'The Bachelorette' Season 19 was anything but easy. The show's fans couldn't help but feel concerned as the 26-year-old pilot kept crying in almost every episode of the dating show.

While it was uncomfortable for fans to watch Rachel getting grilled by Tino Franco's parents, later getting cheated on by him, and all the while being subject to gaslighting and emotional manipulation by him, it was a pretty daunting experience for her family, as well. During the recently aired 'After the Final Rose' special, Rachel's parents were present to show their support for their dear daughter. The show's host Jesse Palmer asked Rachel's father Big Tony how he felt watching his daughter's journey on the ABC dating show. Big Tony simply replied saying it was very "difficult" for him to see all the things Rachel was put through.
