Since she gave the impression on Nick Viall's season of The Bachelor and on Season Four of Bachelor in Paradise, Taylor Nolan has used her platform for advocacy work and to boost awareness for social justice causes. 

When other members of Bachelor Nation had been criticized for their past racist actions, Taylor was regularly vocal about what their apologies have been missing, or what subsequent steps they must take to be held accountable.

In February of 2021, a Reddit thread featured a string of Taylor's past tweets, which have been posted between 2011 and 2013. In these posts, Taylor wrote offensive messages about Asian, Jewish, Black, and Indian groups. The tweets additionally featured fatphobic, homophobic, and ableist language.

Following the controversy, the Let's Talk About It podcast host spoke completely with Distractify about her evolution from any individual who would write the ones forms of tweets to her work today, as well as which members of Bachelor Nation reached out to her amid the debate.

Taylor Nolan's tweets concentrated on marginalized groups resurfaced in February of 2021.

Following Rachel Lindsay's Extra interview with Bachelor host Chris Harrison in February 2021, Taylor turned into one among his most vocal critics from the franchise. 

A Reddit thread used to be posted in a while thereafter, and Taylor stated that it was created to "silence" her as a result of she "was speaking out about the defense of racism in the franchise." 

She realized about the resurfacing of her past tweets from a contestant on Matt James's season of The Bachelor (she did not identify who this individual is). While lots of her fans initially assumed that the screenshots of the tweets have been photoshopped, Taylor knew that she had "said problematic things in the past."

During her preliminary response video, she stated that she deliberately did not delete the ones previous posts because they were part of her past, and demonstrated her expansion. She clarified to Distractify that she hadn't known what her past tweets said precisely, and that she supposed that "in more of a general sense."

"I never went back to see exactly what I had tweeted, but I knew that was a phase that [I had]," she defined to us. "In the last seven or ten years, I haven't scrolled back on my Twitter to see exactly what I had said."

If she had known what the ones posts integrated, Taylor would have handled things another way.

"Had I actually seen [the tweets] and gone back, I would have deleted things to not re-trigger people and not re-trigger myself."

The Johns Hopkins graduate does make an apology for hurting others and for her "defensiveness" in her unique video. She recognizes that she would were critical of any individual else who reacted in the same method.

"The way that I came forward was also not in the same way that I would have suggested or asked in the past [of] other people," she explained.

However, she doesn't assume the folks who brought the tweets to light did so with positive intentions.  

"I do think that accountability is love, but this was never intended to be that. The entire purpose around this was to create pain, and to create chaos," Taylor said about the unique Reddit submit and the adverse comments she's gained since. "It's like some people literally won't be happy until I disappear. For the human brain to be absorbing thousands of messages saying that is so hurtful."

Taylor Nolan discussed whether or not someone from Bachelor Nation has reached out to her.

In the weeks following the controversy surrounding her past social media posts, Taylor has dealt with a shift in her interior circle of buddies from her time on the ABC displays. 

She shared that "a few people" were in contact along with her, however "not the people [she] would have expected."

Taylor would now not comment on where issues stood with former shut pal Vanessa Grimaldi (the 2 now not apply one any other on Instagram). Vanessa said she was once "disturbed, upset, hurt, disappointed, and saddened" by Taylor's tweets.

Other stars from Nick's season, including Olivia Caridi and Danielle Maltby, shared their ideas on the matter, as well. Former Bachelorette Kaitlyn Bristowe and a number of other past contestants from other seasons did too.

"I'm not going to say names. The people I thought were going to be there for me were not at all," she stated. "The people I didn't know would be there for me have been everything for me."

She referred to the location as "disappointing and a bit of a mind-f--k" as a result of she have been asking "other white people from the franchise to speak up and to support Rachel" when the Extra interview got here out. 

Some, she stated, ended up "jumping on board" to criticize her. 

Now, Taylor is constant to focal point on doing the work, attending remedy periods, and advocating for the ones she harm in the past with her tweets.
