” sat down with former “Bachelorette” star Rachel Lindsay on “Extra.” When asked a simple question about “Bachelor” winner Rachael Kirkconnell, whose former plantation party photos re-surfaced on social media, Harrison went to great lengths to defend the racially-insensitive, controversial contestant in a long-winded exchange.
After the interview hit the internet, the calls for Harrison’s job were immediate. Social media was blowing up with swift criticism against Harrison, and news outlets covered his faux-pas in full force. While everyone seemed to notice the severity of Harrison’s defensive commentary, the one person didn’t identify the magnitude of the scandal? Harrison himself.
Immediately after, the female contestants from Season 25 of “The Bachelor” banded together to take a united stand against racism, while appearing to knock Harrison’s initial apology. “Going forward, I honestly don’t know how this will all shake out,” Hall said to E! News. “But for myself for example, if they have future shows and if they were to ask me to be on ‘’ or something like that — and I’m sure a lot of other contestants feel this way as well — I wouldn’t feel comfortable if Chris is there, to be quite frank.”
