What did Michelle say to Matt James following season 25 of The Bachelor?

Bachelor nation was shocked when Matt picked Rachael Kirkconnell over Michelle.

Following his season, Michelle opened up to him on After the Final Rose about how she felt.

“I had to walk away without closure, and I had to fill in the gaps of what our relationship really was, and I wasn’t OK. I wasn’t OK at all,” Michelle said.

“And producers were in my room … seeing how bad I was hurting and I asked you for a conversation, and it was not a conversation where I was trying to change your trajectory or trying to change your mind or fight for you. It was a conversation so that I could have my inner peace when I left Pennsylvania, and you said no.”

To that, Matt responded: “If I would have known that this is how you were feeling in that moment, then I would have fought to have that conversation. Just in terms of there being any doubt in how I felt about you, what I can tell you is that when you showed up when you did, it was a breath of fresh air, and I always tell people who ask that you weren’t late. You were right on time.”

Despite heartbreak following The Bachelor, Michelle is back and better than ever as her search for true love is right around the coroner.
