ABC’s The Bachelor fell to its lowest ratings this season and second-lowest of all time Monday night with its “The Women Tell All” episode, as a racial microaggression controversy has booted longtime host Chris Harrison from its upcoming epilogue and forced him on an apology tour.
Chris Harrison, the host of ABC’s popular reality show “The Bachelor,” is looking to return after an indefinite hiatus amid calls for his permanent removal over charges of racism. Harrison told “Good Morning America” co-host Michael Strahan this week that he’s sought guidance from a “race educator” and talked about advise he’s received from leftist professor and cancel culture opponent Michael Eric Dyson.
The Bachelor’s Rachael Kirkconnell took to Instagram on Thursday to respond to the “racism” controversy, which included attending an “Old South”-themed party in 2018 dressed up as a Native American. In a video, Kirkconnell, told her fans to “please stop” defending her, adding, “My ignorance was racist.”
