Rachel Lindsay, the first African-American Bachelorette, shared her feelings on the controversial ending of "The Bachelor" in a recent interview with The Houston Chronicle.

The current Bachelor Arie Luyendyk Jr., 36, made headlines last week when he dumped the winner of his season, Becca Kufrin, 27, and then proposed to his current fiancee Lauren Burnham, 26, live on the show.

"I like Arie as a person," said Lindsay at her apartment in Dallas. "I just don't like what he did and how he did it."

Lindsay said she felt that Luyendyk Jr. was having second thoughts about his engagement when she saw him two weeks after he proposed to Kufrin. She said he appeared conflicted and was asking her how long it took her to get over her runner-up Peter Kraus.

"I knew that he was going to end it," she said. "He didn't say that, but from the way he was talking.

He was very conflicted."

Lindsay said she told Luyendyk Jr. that it was natural to have thoughts about the runner-up and wonder how the person was doing since the break-up, but his thoughts should not go past that.

The Dallas attorney also said she is excited for Kufrin's chance to be the Bachelorette describing her as a great person and someone with a good head on her shoulders, but doesn't feel the young woman is ready for the show, based on the heartbreak she just experienced.

"If that was me, there's no way I would emotionally be ready to open myself up for engagement. Will meeting 30 men help me get over a bad relationship? 100 percent," said Lindsay. "Can I date 30 men and then put myself in a mindset of getting engaged? I don't think you can."

As for Burnham taking back Luyendyk Jr. so quickly, Lindsay had strong feelings on the subject. She did not agree with Burnham's decision to not watch the finale footage which showed Luyendyk Jr's break up with Kufrin, calling Burnham "naive."

"I wanted to be like who's decision was that because that's real smart of him to keep you away from watching the finale. For me I want to be educated about everything. I want to know how to defend my relationship," she said. "I want to be able to make the best decision for me and that's knowing everything, not being shut off from stuff."

However, Lindsay thinks the relationship between Burnham and Luyendyk Jr. will last.

"Lauren's a baby and he's going to take care of her and that's why I think that it'll work," she said. "That was very evident to me in how this whole thing played out. She's got blinders on. She's got her ears closed and her focus is him. He's on a pedestal to her. That's the type of woman that he needs."
