Chris Harrison on the off-screen drama impacting BachelorinParadise and ongoing TheBachelor talks
they called off their engagement before the live finale
What about raising the age for contestants? If you don’t know how to properly break up with someone, maybe you are too immature for this show. I haven’t talked to Blake or heard from him personally; I know some of the producers have. So judging this from 30,000 feet — releasing the text messages was a really bad idea. There was no good at all that was ever going to come from that. I know there were people in his life who were urging him not to do that and I wish he had listened to their advice because there’s just no way you are going to come out looking good and there’s no way you are not going to just hurt Caelynn.
We didn’t deal with this [releasing of the text messages] on the show because it’s just happening now in the real world and we’ve already finished shooting in Mexico. So it will have to evolve later on the show when we all sit down. Caelynn has handled this phenomenally well. I don’t know everything that she said — I don’t follow the whole social media thing — but from what I understand, she just said that she was a little angry and felt disrespected and I appreciate how she felt.
These things are presenting themselves and therefore, we’re going to lean into it. We’ve evolved and we’re more apt to embrace it more. No matter what the social issues is, we’re ready to dive in. We’re not afraid of what will come afterwards or the ramifications of people giving us a hard time or debating something. I think we’ve all realized it’s a good thing: if nothing else comes of our silly, entertaining show, then maybe we raise the level of debate on some of these issues.
