FIJI, OCEANIA: Charity Lawson will pick her spouse during the three-hour live finale of 'The Bachelorette' on August 21. Joey Graziadei and Dotun Olubeko advanced to the final two, and now Charity must make the most crucial choice of her life by choosing which guy she wants to marry—and she's already taken Joey home to meet her family.
Charity's season is drawing to a close, with only three guys remaining. Last night, Aaron Bryant surprised viewers by returning to the show during the Fantasy Suite segment to confess his affection for Charity. He re-entered the ring alongside the last two, Dotun and Joey. Charity will pick which man will pay the ultimate price: becoming her fiancé, on Monday night.
Charity Lawson's family loves Joey Graziadei
Joey got along well with Charity's parents, and her sister even expressed her desire to have Joey as her brother-in-law. "Joey fits in with our family just fine," Charity's mother adds.
Charity describes herself as being on "cloud nine" following the meeting.
Viewers worry Charity Lawson's mother may spoil ending with Dotun Olubeko
Charity's mother says she had a close connection with Joey and is unsure how meeting Dotun will go. "I can only hope that meeting Charity's folks will go as well as her meeting my folks," Dotun adds. He goes on to say that "moments like this can make or break a relationship."
Charity's mother claims that Charity will go with her "familiar" option of Dotun. She advises Charity to follow her instincts, to which Charity says, "My gut doesn't exist right now."
Charity is worried since her family believes Joey is a better match for her than Dotun. She claims that Dotun's meeting with her family did not go "as planned," and she is now feeling overwhelmed. "I still don't have the clarity that I personally would like to have," Charity says. "I'm really not okay."
The fact that Charity's family did not like him as much as they loved Joey astounds viewers. Viewers joked on Twitter, "Charity’s mom with Dotun vs. Charity’s mom with Joey." Another user chimed in, "I wonder if Charity’s mom would feel different if she met Dotun first instead of Joey." One user argued, "Us Black folks know that we go above and beyond to make other people feel comfortable in our families. Charity's family was being extra with Joey because of that reason. I don't like how her mom is being cold to Dotun." A fourth user asked, "So the preview of Charity’s mom scolding her for not being able to make a decision must be because Charity wants to pick Dotun and Charity’s mom wants her to pick Joey huh?"
While some agreed with Charity's family, "As much as it pains me to say, because I love Dotun, I think Charity’s mom and sister are right. There’s a difference in the way she acts around them and I think Joey is the one for her." Others added, "That's how Charity knows. When she's disappointed Mom and sister may not like Dotun as much as Joey, that's how she knows she likes him more." One Twitter user wrote, "Charity’s mom doesn’t want to give her opinion because she likes Joey more but she knows Charity likes Dotun more and doesn’t want to upset her." While another user tweeted, "Charity’s mom calling Dotun too “familiar” when the other man is white is so problematic. She’s pissing me off. Just say you wanna taste Joey then."
