Kaitlyn Bristowe’s tell-all podcast about her respective breakups from Shawn Booth and Jason Tartick seemed to strike a chord with Rachel Lindsay.
“They say there are two sides to every story… but this time, you’re getting HERS. 👀🔥,” a Thursday, April 3, Instagram caption on Bristowe’s “Off the Vine” podcast page read. “Kaitlyn holds nothing back in this unfiltered tell-all, and we know you’ve been waiting for it. No topic is off-limits. No rumor left unaddressed.”
During the podcast episode, Bristowe, 39, spilled major tea about what led to her respective broken engagements with Booth, 37, and Tartick, 36. She even claimed that Tartick stole her favorite baby name, Teddy, for his new dog’s moniker.
In the Instagram comments, Lindsay, 39, offered her support.
“Good for you for telling your story ❤️,” Lindsay replied. “It gets to a point where you’re like, enough is enough. I’m almost there girl lol.”
Lindsay was married to Bryan Abasolo, whom she met on The Bachelorette season 13, for four years before he filed for divorce in January 2024. Despite a messy legal back-and-forth, Lindsay has seldom spoken out about the downfall of her marriage.
“I’m just trying to get through it,” Lindsay exclusively told Us Weekly in September 2024, noting she’s also not ready to date again. “Friends [and] family keep me empowered. I saw this quote the other day about romanticizing life and it was just learning about loving the simple things, whether it’s going on a walk, whether it’s just being thankful for the air that we breathe [or] whether it’s just like laughing with a friend. I’m really holding onto those moments because they give me life.”
Lindsay and Abasolo, 45, finalized their divorce in January 2025, with the former attorney needing to provide her ex-husband alimony payments.
“I don’t really talk about the divorce because [I’m] not sure how I want to roll it all out,” Lindsay said on the Friday, April 4, episode of her “Higher Learning” podcast. “When it comes to spousal support, even child support — but I’m not gonna speak to that because I don’t have children — it is particular to the people that are involved. That goes for their circumstances, and it also goes to what state they reside in.”
According to Lindsay, the chiropractor allegedly was “not deserving” of receiving any spousal support.
“We both made sacrifices in the marriage, and I shouldn’t be punished because I was successful during the time that we were married, and he wasn’t,” she claimed. “I’m truly tired of the narrative of, ‘Well, he’s deserving of the money because he picked up and sacrificed his career for her.’ I’m just gonna say this, and I’m gonna say this once — not true.”
Lindsay further stressed that marriage and relationships are supposed to be “about sacrifice and compromise.”
