Rachel Lindsay's Ex Bryan Abasolo Says He Was “Psychologically Beaten Down" Before Meeting Divorce Coach

Bryan Abasolo and Rachel Lindsay’s separation is getting thornier.
Seven months after the chiropractor filed for divorce from the Bachelorette alum, he got candid about the support he received towards the end of their marriage.
“When I first met my divorce coach last year, I was emotionally and psychologically beaten down,” Bryan wrote on his July 18 Instagram Story over an image of him and coach Rene Garcia. “I needed an objective opinion and guidance to make a huge decision.”
He continued, “I credit @Renesance_Man who I now call a friend for helping me face the PR tricks and gaslighting I was warned was coming. I’m thankful”
The 44-year-old ended his message with a recommendation for his followers to work Rene if they’re thinking of getting a divorce “so you don’t make a decision by reaction, but through clarity.”
E! News has reached out Rachel’s rep for comment but has not heard back.
Bryan filed for divorce from Rachel after four years of marriage in January citing irreconcilable differences as the reason for their split, and though amicable in the immediate aftermath, more of their breakup litigation has begun to play out in the public eye.
Most recently, the former couple clashed over Bryan’s request for spousal support.
In a May 1 filing, obtained by E! News, Bryan sought $50,000 in attorney's fees and $25,000 in forensic accountant's fees—"to compete with Rachel's litigation team and secure my entitlement to one-half (1/2) of our community property”—in addition to spousal support.
But almost two months later, Rachel filed court documents slamming Bryan’s depiction of his income.
"Bryan claims to earn so little income that if he worked a 40 hour week and was paid minimum wage in Los Angeles County," she said in her June 26 filing, per People, "he would more than double his reported earnings."
The documents continued, “His requests for spousal support and $75,000 in professional fees are not supported by competent evidence, and far exceed the actual marital lifestyle and his need."
And though the amount was significantly smaller than Bryan requested, a court determined Rachel would ultimately need to pay $15,000 for his attorney fees and an additional $5,000 for forensic expert expenses, per the filing obtained by E! News, as well as $13,257 per month in spousal support. The court put off determining, however, whether Rachel would need to make any retroactive payments.
But as their split plays out in the courts, Rachel is focusing on the roses in her life: her friends and family, who she says have been instrumental in helping her navigate this period in her life.
“Those who just want to call me and let me vent to them when I'm going through something,” she told E! News recently in an exclusive interview. “Those friends have been amazing to me."
"My family has come out to see me, I've gone to see my family," Rachel continued. "I feel completely recharged. It was really good to be around my family and happier times. Normally, I would also turn to work. And I'm not doing that. I'm just allowing people and experiences to heal me."
