Rachel Lindsay: Peter Kraus is a MANIPULATOR!

Peter Kraus may not have won this season of The Bachelorette, but based on how fans have reacted to him, it looks like he might be on track to be the next Bachelor. If he chooses to accept the position.

It looks like Rachel Lindsay really doesn"t want Peter to be the Bachelor, though. 

Because not only is Rachel saying that Peter wasn"t the man for her (which is fine) but it sounds like she"s saying that Peter wouldn"t be good for anyone, because she"s calling him out as a "manipulator."

Entertainment Tonight got an exclusive interview with Rachel Lindsay and the man she chose, Bryan Abasolo.

We have the video for you below.

And Rachel Lindsay accuses Peter Kraus of being manipulative, which is … a lot.

As we said, it"s one thing to decide that he"s not the man for you, even if the entire viewing audience thinks that you"re nuts for picking Bryan Abasolo.

It"s quite another thing to drag a guy"s name through the mud and use your voice to hurt his chances of being the next Bachelor.

(Or of finding love at all)

If she were accusing him of being abusive, or something, we"d be paying close attention — because that is always a serious accusation.

But "manipulation" is vague as hell … and, as you"ll hear for yourself in the video below, Rachel doesn"t really describe it so well.

"I felt a little bit of manipulation there."

She does try to explain:

"The lack of commitment, you telling me that you want this future with me, but you didn"t want to take the actions to have it."

She means when Peter told her that he wasn"t comfortable proposing to her right away.

That"s because, to Peter, an engagement is a commitment to marry and he takes that very seriously.

(And probably would want to continue to get to know her and to date her off camera, to know that they could truly have a healthy and successful relationship even when they"re truly alone)

But, for Rachel, that seemed like cold feet or commitment issues, and she felt haunted by the ghosts of boyfriends past.

"That"s what triggered those emotions in me."

As for the actual "manipulation," it just sounds like it has more to do with Rachel having emotions than Peter playing some sort of game with her.

"I felt like there was a lot of push and pull. I feel like he was giving me just enough to keep me and string me along, rather than being forthcoming with everything."

That"s interesting, because we were just speculating that perhaps Rachel had strung Peter along to give him more air time even though she"d already decided that Bryan Abasolo was the one for her.

"And the thing is, when I walked in [the night of the breakup], I knew what I was going to do, and I still kept getting that push and that pull. So it was hard."

Most of us would just call that mixed emotions, because she was breaking up with an incredibly handsome man for whom she had a lot of feelings.

Rachel seems to want to make us believe that Peter"s on-screen personality isn"t who he really is.

"I think you saw the essence of Peter in that breakup. I think people saw a different side to him they still aren"t ready to accept."

The essence of Peter is … crying?

Because that"s what we remember about that brutal breakup.

"I mean, the man told me I was going to have a mediocre life if I wasn"t with him, and then apologized about it. And I"m not."

That"s probably the least cool thing that Peter said all season, so we don"t blame Rachel for bringing it up.

He did apologize, but a guy saying something screwed up like that is a huge red flag.

We don"t think that it necessarily embodies the whole of Peter, though.

Rachel seemed really defensive about that.

"I"m having an amazing life. These last few months have been absolutely amazing."

That defensiveness on Rachel"s part might be more about responding to how the Bachelor Nation was pretty heavy-handed about being Team Peter.

But you know, Rachel got the smooth-talking Bryan Abasolo and is already planning their wedding.

If she got everything that she wanted, what does she care what the Bachelor Nation thinks?

We think that Rachel talking about how great her life is now might be less about what Peter predicted and more about convincing herself.

That"s just our impression, anyway.

Decide for yourself as you watch the clip below:

Pilot Jones: Blac Chyna is a Master Manipulator!

It sounds like we won’t have to wait for The A-List Miami to hear Pilot Jones spill more Blac Chyna secrets.

After being cyberbullied by Blac Chyna and Rob Kardashian just a few months ago, Pilot Jones isn’t the most sympathetic voice to Blac Chyna’s current cyberbullying plight.

And he’s once again speaking out, now revealing further details about his history with Blac Chyna.

For a guy who recently blasted Blac Chyna for being a hypocrite, this starts off remarkably positive.

Before Pilot Jones call Blac Chyna a master manipulator, he has some really positive things to say about their relationship in this Us Weekly interview.

Starting with how they first got acquainted.

“We actually met at a party that I was hosting, so we got really close around the end of 2015 for sure.”

It sounds like they hit it off.

“We didn’t have to put a title on anything. We both kind of knew how we felt about each other.”

Most people have been there with a “friend” at some point or another in their lives, right?

“Most of our relationship at that point was pretty much business. We were really, really great friends.”

Yeah, but it wasn’t their “business” relationship that made Rob Kardashian flip out and threaten Pilot Jones’ safety.

(Though it’s pretty clear by now that Rob Kardashian has a lot of issues)

“I just don’t like some of the decisions she’s made as of recent, but other than that she’s a great person.”

We’re pretty sure that he means that Pilot is referring to her actions towards him, and not her actions to distance herself from Rob Kardashian.

(There’s still no love lost between Pilot and Rob)

“She’s not a little bit of a bully, she clearly did bully me — there’s no ‘little bit’ to it.”

Tristan is referring to cyberbullying from Blac Chyna and Rob Kardashian, which apparently included Rob threatening his life — forcing him to leave L.A. for a time.

Blac Chyna also outed Pilot Jones as “gay” in the process, though Pilot is bisexual.

(He was not yet out at the time)

“The fact is that she tried to intimidate me via social media, and I don’t think that that is OK, and I don’t think that that’s right.”

He’s absolutely right.

She might be a victim of some pretty serious things right now, but victims can also be perpetrators.

“At the end of the day, all of us in this situation are parents and look at the example that we are teaching. …”

Pilot Jones is a dad, if you’ll recall.

“These platforms are being used to really harass people.”

That’s true.

Most of us use social media to connect with friends and like-minded strangers and to follow the antics of famous folks and some of our favorite content-creators.

Some people misuse platforms like Twitter to attack others. It’s a shame.

“I was outed on social media.”

As we discussed recently when Thomas Dekker came out as gay, that should always be someone’s choice and never forced upon them.

As for claims that Pilot had leaked the photo of the two of them kissing or tried to extort money from Blac Chyna during her relationship with Rob Kardashian, well …

“I think that this was just another you know, another mastermind manipulation that she does.”

Most people wouldn’t have attributed a word like “mastermind” to Blac Chyna.

But you know what? Most people wouldn’t use that word to describe Paris HIlton, who is genuinely intelligent and an extremely savvy businesswoman.

Appearances and branding can both be deceiving. That could be the case with Blac Chyna.

Pilot Jones certainly thinks so.

“She’s a master manipulator.”

That doesn’t mean that she somehow forced Rob Kardashian to do the things that he’s done, of course.

Pilot Jones has more to add about his history with Blac Chyna.

“I’m not the only bisexual man that Blac Chyna has dated, and I was not the last, you know what I’m saying?”

We can see how that must have made it that much more painful when Blac Chyna publicly betrayed him.

(Even if she mistakenly believed that Pilot Jones was responsible for spreading a photo of the two of them kissing and thought that he’d betrayed her, her response was unacceptable)

“I feel like the thing that brought us together, she’s used against me.”

That sounds like such a source of torment.

“She tried to make me feel ashamed of who I am, and that’s not OK.”

He’s right — it’s never okay.

He talks about the depression that he experienced afterwards.

“Literally my lowest point in my life.”

Awful. And understandable.

“I look back at it and I don’t understand how I even made it.”

But he did pull through, and that’s what matters the most.

We already know that, during this dark period in his life, Pilot Jones turned to Buddhism to cope.

He also shares that he’s been writing — which can be a fantastic strategy for processing your experiences.

“What’s gotten me through my depression was writing about the situation and putting it on paper.”

Finding a way to deal with it can make the difference between life and death.
