Something he could have easily checked for himself before the media came with the smearing campaign - but he didn't.

[@circe...]

The problem is the Bachelor show picked Matt because of his externals (he's fit, attractive, young, has social media presence). But did any of the producers get below the surface to see if he was really ready? I mean, we were all (myself included) excited to see Matt, a new face. And we assumed that he was at the commitment level. All they (producers) had to do was have a few deep conversations with him about himself, relationships, and his parents to realize he ain't about married life right now, if ever.

Matt is a wounded guy who has not gotten over the hurt of his parents split. If it wasn’t Rachael it was going to be someone else he would break up with. He is not ready to be anyone’s husband. His reasons for the break up tonight does not match the feeling Of someone who knows how to love . Rachael has started to redeem herself but Matt I think never gave her a chance and I am disappointed in his explanations. Until he deals with his issue brought on by his parents split this will be his patter. Bail and the first signs of distress

Matt has his own emotional and personal growth to do and he's not ready for a commitment period. Seems to me he's more like his dad than he realizes. But I digress. I hope Rachel and Matt can overcome this and I wish we could extend grace to both of them and hope for the best.

This was a PR decision for him to leave her. Ugh. What a “man”.

@@S.A.R-z4r Correct. Rachel should have owned up to it when the rumours first started appearing, Before Chris Harrison addressed it. She should have apologized to Matt (if she did it out of ignorance) behind closed doors before it blew up. It just makes her look more guilty

[@elizabethjulia20]

@@predeem1629 While I agree completely, we don't know what she did behind closed doors, and I doubt we can imagine or understand what she went through. The situation/rumours garnered extreme attention very quickly, rightfully so, but I would have been extremely overwhelmed and anxious about how to best respond if I were her. And I personally think that in the end it seems she waited and truly considered how to best respond with a genuine and respectful apology, taking full accountability. I think that was better than her responding quickly without taking the time to listen, understand, and then apologise. It felt genuine rather than feeling like "damage control".

[@zoeb.72]

Matt was never ready for marriage and he didn’t love anyone. If he loved her, he would be standing by her and helping to educate her. Not dumping her because of her past.

[@amalhussein8426]

You can only understand if you were in his shoes it is simply what you can’t experience btw if someone cannot forget what she didn’t it is better to end soon than later

Cancel the entire franchise. It's insulting to every single person trying to do the right thing. I can't believe they way she was bullied live on stage. That could have been handled a far different way.
