During Tuesday\u2019s installment, Brooklyn doubled down on calling Kat \u201cclassless.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think that the words that she used to describe me were more of a reflection on her character than mine,\u201d Kat exclusively told <em>Us Weekly<\/em> at the taping last month. \u201cIt was hurtful to hear \u2018cause I had shown what kind of woman I am up until that point [by] being so supportive in every moment with all the girls. I am obviously a girls\u2019 girl. So I understand the frustration behind the comments initially, but to continue to degrade me the way that she did, it got to the point where it\u2019s just hurtful and it wasn\u2019t necessary. And all in all, it was a reflection on who she is and how she carries herself, not me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She added, however, that she has made peace with Brooklyn and Charity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have figured it out. We\u2019re all friends. Like, even in Budapest, we were fine,\u201d Kat said. \u201cI think that we all have to have grace for each other in these heightened emotional times and it\u2019s never something that, like, I would not be friends with somebody over. I mean, I\u2019m having grace with her, and I think she\u2019s having grace with me too. And we\u2019re doing our best.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Later on during the <em>Women Tell All<\/em>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/celebrities\/jesse-palmer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Jesse Palmer<\/strong><\/a> brought <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/entertainment\/pictures\/greer-blitzer-5-things-to-know-about-bachelor-season-27-contestant\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Greer Blitzer<\/strong><\/a> into the hot seat to confront the first impression rose winner for her<a href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/celebrity-news\/news\/bachelors-greer-apologizes-for-resurfaced-tweets-about-blackface\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> resurfaced social media posts defending Blackface.<\/a><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-caption \">\n<div class=\"ratio-based-placeholder\" style=\"padding-bottom:66.714285714286%;\"><\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"credit\">ABC\/Craig Sjodin<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cMost disturbing of all were some posts in which you were defending a fellow classmate that posed in Blackface and Greer, the truth is, as a franchise, we\u2019ve done a very poor job in the past of addressing serious topics head-on and we\u2019re not going to miss that opportunity here tonight,\u201d the host said. \u201cI know you have given a subsequent apology online but I do want to give you the opportunity here to address this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After Greer apologized again, it was revealed that she spent time with <strong>Dr. Kira Banks<\/strong>, a professor and Diversity Equity and Inclusion consultant who was in the audience.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMeeting with Dr. Banks \u2014 she brought to my attention that it\u2019s so important to be open-minded. It\u2019s so important to question things and ask and not just do without thinking,\u201d Greer said. \u201cBefore you speak, think before you say something that could hurt someone else and do your research. So I looked up lectures and really wanted to dive deep into the history of Blackface and understand why it was wrong, why it was offensive and the research that I was able to do, I just realized it was symbolism for dehumanizing the Black community. And so what I said was wrong. What I said \u2014 defending that girl \u2014 was racist. And I want to take that accountability. I don\u2019t want to excuse it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"subscribe-line\"><strong><em>Sign up for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/newsletter-signup\/\" class=\"subscription-click-trg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Us Weekly&#8217;s free, daily newsletter<\/a> and never miss breaking news or exclusive stories about your favorite celebrities, TV shows and more!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Zach\u2019s journey continues on ABC Monday, March 20, at 8 p.m. ET.
