Chris Harrison has issued an apology for his recent comments.

The 49-year-old The Bachelor host received some backlash over comments he made to former The Bachelorette Rachel Lindsay during an Extra interview on Tuesday (February 9).

In that interview, Chris and Rachel discussed the social media controversy surrounding Rachael Kirkconnell, who is currently competing on Matt James‘ season of the hit dating reality show.

Chris and Rachel discussed the photos that recently surfaced on Reddit of Rachael attending a fraternity party back in 2018. The party was described as “antebellum plantation themed ball.”

Chris said that he had not spoken to Rachael about the photos yet, but did say “we all need to have a little grace, a little understanding, a little compassion.”

Rachel then pointed out that attending the event is “not a good look,” to which Chris responded: “Is it [not] a good look in 2018? Or is it not a good look in 2021? Because there’s a big difference.”

Chris then added, “The woke police is out there. And this poor girl Rachael, who has just been thrown to the lions, I don’t know how you are equipped when you have never done this before, to be woke enough, to be eloquent enough, to be ready to handle this.”

After the interview went viral, Chris received a lot of backlash for seemingly defending Rachael amid the racist claims.

On Wednesday (February 10), Chris released an apology on Instagram regarding the matter.

Is Chris Harrison really leaving The Bachelor?! Not so fast…

Over the past several weeks, rumors have been swirling the 49-year-old longtime host of the dating reality show might be leaving The Bachelor after plans were revealed that he is building a new home in Texas – and Wells Adams is in talks to replace him.

“It’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard,” the 36-year-old Bachelor in Paradise bartender said in an interview with People.

“First of all, Chris isn’t going anywhere,” Wells continued. “He’s got the best job in Hollywood. Tom Hanks would agree that he has the best job in Hollywood. He’s not going anywhere.”

Wells added, “And I know that everyone’s like, well, he’s moving to Texas. Guess what, everybody? It’s a travel show. He can live in Timbuktu and still do the show. They only film a week and a half in Agoura Hills. The rest of the show is off everywhere else.”

Chris Harrison is dishing on Matt James‘ upcoming season of The Bachelor!

During a new interview, the Bachelor host revealed that Matt didn’t know much about the show before being cast as the new lead, and also had to get used to being in front of the camera.

“It was really funny,” Chris shared with Us Weekly. “There were some times where he would just — we’d be talking a thousand miles an hour and he would just stop and say, ‘Guys, I don’t know what you’re saying.’”

Chris also recalled Matt telling him, “I’ve never done [this]. I don’t know what a rose ceremony is. And we’re like, ‘Oh my gosh.’”

“We had to really go back and learn our ABCs and spoon feed this guy,” Chris continued. “But you know, to your point, there was a sense of innocence [and] naivete that was very endearing about that because he was also real.”

He added: “Everything was happening to him for the first time: group dates, two-on-ones, rose ceremonies. His eyes were just like wide open going, ‘Oh, this is crazy.’”

The new season of The Bachelor premieres on Monday, January 4th at 8pm ET on ABC. Meet the 32 women that will be vying for Matt James‘ heart!

We’ll see. And you know, she definitely gets embroiled in some royal controversy… There is one controversy in particular… and how it works… is stunning and it is shocking, it is bizarre… and it’s not just with women on night one, there’s 32 women on night one.

Chris Harrison is giving a little insight of what to expect during Matt James‘ season of The Bachelor.

The longtime host of the franchise spoke to press about the upcoming season, which just kicked off filming days after wrapping production on The Bachelorette.

“I’ve had a lot of time to Zoom with Matt, talk with him. Same thing with producers, we’ve been on a lot of group chats. Even a little fantasy football,” Chris shared with E! “Because of the pandemic I haven’t been able to hang out with him and intimately get to know him, but I know the type of man he is.”

He continued, “I’ve talked a lot about him with Tyler C and he’s a genuine, good man. He’s the kind of guy you want as The Bachelor. He’s the kind of guy that I think women will be fortunate to fall in love with.”

Stay tuned for more details on when The Bachelor will premiere on ABC.

The Bachelorette, with Clare Crawley, will debut on Tuesday, October 13 at 8/7c.

During the appearance, Colton said that his ex was taken “advantage” of with her appearance on The Bachelor: The Greatest Seasons Ever.

“Cass stayed extremely professional and extremely quiet about our breakup .What bugged me was the fact that that show took advantage of her. I get very defensive over people I love and I know Cass is a big girl and she can fight her own battles, but I just know her heart and she doesn’t want to rock the boat and she loves people, even if they abuse her or even if they take advantage of her, which they did,” he said.

He went on to say producers convinced her to go on the show to “get to know her” and discuss her latest ventures.

“I was like, ‘That’s not what they’re going to do to you.’ I wasn’t here to tell her what she can and can’t do, that’s just not who I am. I was like, ‘Do it, but I’m just warning you, this is what’s going to happen. They are going to point questions in my direction. I don’t care how long you talk to them, they are only going to air the parts about us or me.’ Which is what they did,” he went on to say.

Host Chris Harrison pressed her for information about the breakup throughout the interview, despite her insistence on keeping it private.

“I was more frustrated for her, because she just got completely taken advantage of and completely manipulated. You have Chris Harrison pointing questions saying, ‘I sense you don’t want to make Colton mad, or you’re afraid you’re going to upset Colton. It’s like, ‘No, Chris. I literally talked to her the morning of that interview. We’re good.’ Stop worrying about me or painting me to be this controlling or angry person. I’m not angry. If there’s anybody I’m upset about or upset with, it’s you guys.”

“The whole thing with the franchise and them interviewing her is what really bugged me and really upset me,” he added.

Colton recently addressed these rumors about his sexuality.
