The Bachelorette star Charity Lawson has revealed how there was a moment during the show when she felt like she was over her head and there was too much to handle.

“Yeah, it definitely picked up around Fantasy Suites,” Charity told Joe Amabile and Serena Pitt on the July 27 episode of the “Bachelor Happy Hour” podcast.
“In that transition from hometowns to Fantasy Suites, that’s when I was, like, my head started to become really clouded and I felt like I was clear-minded before then.”

Charity recalled of that stressful and challenging time, “I think my emotions just started to take over because I knew what was coming at the end.”
Charity said just like the guys were “navigating their own feelings” of whether they’d feel ready to propose marriage by the Final Rose Ceremony, she was “also kind of going through that” in her own mind.
The Bachelorette star apparently had doubts or hesitancy about getting engaged once the process was nearing the finish line.
“I came into this process like, ‘Yes, I absolutely want an engagement,’ but then I saw myself starting to second-guess myself. And that was really scary because I was like, ‘What’s happening?!'” Charity explained.
ABC executive Robert Mills teased earlier this week how there’s an “emotional” scene coming up on The Bachelorette that will shock viewers.
“Everyone is talking about how great Charity has been this season and SHE IS. I want to say now there is a scene in two weeks that is as good and strong and emotional as anything I’ve ever seen in #TheBachelorette,” Mills tweeted on July 24.
“Just wanted everyone to get ready now,” he added. “You will stand up and cheer.”
There is definitely more drama, heartbreak and tears to come on The Bachelorette this season, with hometown dates airing on Monday, July 31 at 8PM ET/PT on ABC.

Charity’s remaining suitors are beginning to question if they’re truly ready to commit to Charity for life.
Xavier Bonner was already shown telling Charity that he was “afraid” to get engaged because he only wants to be engaged once in his life and everything has to be right for him to take that plunge.
And in a trailer for the rest of The Bachelorette’s twentieth season that aired at the end of the July 17 episode, Dotun Olubeko confesses, “This is a very trying experience for me. It’s making me question, ‘Am I really ready for this?'”
Aaron Bryant also explains, “I know you want an engagement. I don’t know if I can do that.”
Charity therefore cries, “Are you kidding?! We are a week away from you being on one knee and you don’t even know what you want!”
Charity also reveals that she’s “madly in love” — but “with more than one person.”
The preview also shows a man from Charity’s past returning to the show who will not take “no” for an answer.
Viewers also saw footage of Charity pacing back and forth in a beautiful gown at the Final Rose Ceremony.
“Every single day I’ve woken up and I’ve regretted my choice!” Charity admits, before she’s shown crying and about to have “a panic attack.”

Charity repeats in tears, “This doesn’t make sense… You are not supposed to say goodbye to somebody that you love.”
Charity admitted earlier this month on Good Morning America that she had never braced herself for the possibility of falling in love with more than one man on The Bachelorette.
“I will be honest, I don’t think I did [brace myself]. I don’t think I prepared myself for that possibility because, I mean, in the real world, you don’t have the opportunity to date multiple people at the same time and then form these connections,” Charity explained.
“So for me, [falling in love with multiple people] definitely came as a shock. I was like, ‘How do I help myself with this and process what I’m feeling?'”
Charity said journaling helped her self-reflect and navigate complex emotions as her journey to find The One neared its end.
And Charity confirmed that she followed her heart during filming and it didn’t lead her astray.
“I will say that [my gut and intuition] were spot on this season, like, spot on!” the 27-year-old child and family therapist revealed during a recent appearance on the “Off the Vine with Kaitlyn Bristowe” podcast.
“This season has truly taught me a lot more about trusting my intuition, because it wasn’t wrong.”
