Bachelor Nation's Rachel Lindsay Says She & Vanessa Grimaldi Are No Longer Feuding

Rachel Lindsay and Vanessa Grimaldi were never in a long, drawn-out feud, but if you’re very familiar with Bachelor Nation then you’re probably aware of what was going on.

The reality stars both competed on Nick Viall‘s season of The Bachelor in 2017. Vanessa won the season and Rachel went on to star on The Bachelorette.

“I was in a feud with Vanessa,” Rachel said on her Bachelor Happy Hour podcast (via People). “It wasn’t aired, but then it kind of became known … because certain people from the season would talk about it. But neither one of us ever went on social media and went at each other.”

“After time had passed and I had done The Bachelorette, she messaged me,” she added. “We got on the phone and we didn’t even hash out what had happened because we’re so many years past that. We just picked up where we were and had a conversation about it and wished each other the best. We’re totally friendly and cool now.”

“We had to separate,” she continued. “It had to be the right time for us to be able to come to each other and work that out.”

Fellow contestants Danielle Lombard previously revealed that “Vanessa called Rachel something that was extremely derogatory” during filming
