AGOURA HILLS, CALIFORNIA: In the recent episode, 'The Bachelor' star Rachel Nance had a tough time – she accidentally fell off a river cliff during a one-on-one date with Joey Graiadei. The fall was pretty serious, almost resulting in her smashing her face and potentially breaking her jaw. Joey, understandably worried, feared the worst as he assumed that her jaw was broken however, following the accident, she rushed to the hospital.

Throughout the ordeal, Rachel kept insisting that she was okay and that the injury wasn't too bad, despite the genuine concern from Joey. Medical professionals were also promptly called in to assess Rachel's jaw after the incident, ensuring that she received immediate medical attention.

The top three ladies – Rachel, Kelsey Anderson, and Daisy Kent – were gearing up for their individual one-on-one dates just before the fantasy suites. The "fantasy suites" is a special phase where each contestant, in this case, Rachel, Kelsey, and Daisy, gets to spend an entire day with Joey in a picturesque location.

At the end of the night, they have the option to either stay in a suite separately from Joey or opt to stay in a room together without cameras. This moment is crucial as it allows the contestants to spend quality time with Joey in a more private setting, exploring the depth of their connections.

Charity Lawson responds to Rachel Nance's trolls

Rachel faced a surge of criticism, particularly after Joey's decision to eliminate Maria in favor of keeping her on the show. Many viewers expressed doubts about Joey's choice, questioning the compatibility between Joey and Rachel. The backlash intensified, leading to a barrage of hateful comments directed at Rachel.

In response to the online trolls, Charity Lawson took to her social media platform to address the negativity. The Bachelorlette star used her platform to communicate with fans. She spoke out against the hate, sharing her perspective on the situation and emphasizing the importance of respecting the decisions made on the show. 

"The comments to rachel after hometowns are extremely weird… 1. it’s a show relax 2. you don’t have to tear someone else down to support the person you are rooting for more (it’s giving mean girl energy, the same energy y’all was wilding about earlier this season)," Charity said.
