‘The Bachelorette’s Charity Lawson Defends Ex Joey Graziadei Against ‘Delusional’ Rumors
What To Know
- Joey Graziadei has been engaged to his Bachelor final rose recipient, Kelsey Anderson, since 2023.
- Former Bachelorette Charity Lawson publicly defended Joey after one fan’s theory sparked cheating allegations.
- Bachelor Nation fans widely supported both Graziadei and Lawson, calling out the “wild” rumors.
Ever since they announced their engagement in 2023, Joey Graziadei and Kelsey Anderson have been one of Bachelor Nation’s strongest and most beloved couples. However, while most of the franchise’s fans would agree that Graziadei and Anderson were made to last, one user has taken to social media to allege that Graziadei has been unfaithful to Anderson with one of the other women from his season.
Former Bachelorette star Charity Lawson, who also happens to be Graziadei’s ex, is coming to his defense. She directly called out the person making these allegations about the Season 29 lead.
The TikTok user alleges that Graziadei is in a secret relationship with his third-place contestant, Rachel Nance, and has made multiple comments regarding their wild theory. Most recently, the fan commented, “Why did Rachel leave early? Seems like she just logged on after 24 hours at the same time as her friends fiancé – she did move to LA straight after he did [too].”
While most fans are simply calling these accusations wild or unfounded, Lawson took her defense of the former Bachelor star one step further. Lawson wrote, “I rebuke you parasocial demon in the name of Jesus, enough.” Anderson reacted in the comments of a fan who posted about Lawson’s response. “I love my charity,” she wrote.

Lawson later posted the exchange on her Instagram story, responding to fans telling her to “just ignore” the rumors. She explained, “No I pray over things that work my nerves, call it for what it is.” She then added, “20 different fake accounts in the past 24 hrs, harrassing people in my life, with grade A delusional theories non stop, keep playing and i will find the ip address and the first photo you will take of 2026 will be at the jailhouse.”
Of course, Bachelor Nation jumped to Graziadei and Nance’s defense as well, arguing that there is no way that he would ever cheat on Anderson. As one fan put it, “Joey got boundaries & self respect and Rachel got boundaries and self respect ✊ they would never.” Another said, “This coming about a man who requested a married partner during DWTS to be respectful to Kelsey. Absolutely wild.”
Others praised Charity for sticking up for her friends, writing, “Charity is so real for this sometimes ignoring it just doesn’t work fr. CALL IT OUT.”
