Alabama native Hannah Brown is in hot water again for showing racial insensitivity on social media.

The former “Bachelorette” star -- who faced a backlash in May 2020 for saying the N-word in an Instagram Live video -- recently deleted an Instagram photo that showed her wearing a Southern belle outfit.

The photo, taken in May 2013, showed Brown posing at a presentation ceremony for the Tuscaloosa Belles, a service organization for high school girls that’s linked to the Tuscaloosa County Preservation Society.

Folks who support such costumes say they’re a nod to Southern traditions and heritage, and a way to preserve history. But critics say the outfits glorify the antebellum south and celebrate plantation culture while ignoring the horrors of slavery.

The photo of Brown as a Southern belle -- and her deletion of it on Instagram -- was pointed out by observers such as @TeaAndRoses21 on Twitter, amid a Bachelor Nation controversy about racism in the franchise and another Southern belle image.

Rachael Kirkconnell, a contestant on “The Bachelor” this season, is among four women who remain on the show, hoping to forge a romantic relationship with Matt James. He’s the first Black lead on “The Bachelor” in the series’ history.

Kirkconnell, who’s white, made headlines earlier this month when photos emerged on Reddit, showing her in Southern belle garb at a plantation-themed fraternity formal in 2018. TikTok users also found evidence of the Georgia native liking social media posts with the Confederate flag and sharing QAnon conspiracy theories.

Harrison’s interview with Lindsay provoked an intense backlash among “Bachelor” fans and prompted a #FireChrisHarrison hashtag on social media. In response, Harrison apologized twice, announcing in the second apology that he was stepping away from the show until further notice. He’s been the host of “The Bachelor” since the series made its debut in 2002.

“I have spent the last few days listening to the pain my words have caused, and I’m deeply remorseful,” Harrison wrote. “My ignorance did damage to my friends, colleagues and strangers alike. I have no one to blame but myself for what I said and the way I spoke. I set standards for myself, and have not met them. I feel that with every fiber of my being. Now, just as I taught my children to stand up, and to own their actions, I will do the same. By excusing historical racism, I defended it. I invoked the term ‘woke police,’ which is unacceptable. I am ashamed over how uninformed I was. I was so wrong.”

In the meantime, Kirkconnell released a statement on Instagram apologizing for her behavior and “truths that have come to light.”

“At one point, I didn’t realize how offensive and racist my actions were, but that doesn’t excuse them,” Kirkconnell wrote. “They are not acceptable or okay in any sense. I was ignorant, but my ignorance was racist ... I hope I can earn your forgiveness through my future actions.”

they are all mentally ill. Going to be interesting when they find out black and brown girls are doing the Southern Belle thing.

But it's part of white culture.

All white culture and history will be attacked and destroyed. All of it. They started on Washington, Jefferson, and Lincoln over the summer.

You think the South would win?  They already lost 1 war.

Given the current differences from the “south” and the “north”, I’d say a lot has changed since those days.

Men America is really hitting the SJW smelling salts.

Oh darn. that would be awful.
