“Rachel has basically gone into seclusion,” an insider tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY. “She feels like she’s being bullied and attacked and is leaning on Kim for support.

The drama began when Bey released Lemonade on April 24, and several lyrics on the record call out a man for cheating, immediately leading to speculation that Jay had been unfaithful. In one particular song she tells her man to call up “Becky with the good hair,” and when Rachel posted an Instagram bragging about her ‘good hair,’ fans immediately went crazy, alleging that she was the rapper’s mistress.
The fashion designer deleted the photo, then defended herself on Twitter. “I respect love, marriages, families and strength,” she wrote. “What shouldn’t be tolerated by anyone, no matter what, is bullying, of any kind.:
