Jenn Tran, the first Asian lead of The Bachelorette, admitted feeling disappointed by the lack of Asian men cast as potential suitors on her season
Jenn Tran, the first Asian lead of The Bachelorette, admitted she was disappointed by the lack of Asian men cast as potential suitors on her season.
“I can’t really speak to the casting process and the decisions that were made, but it is unfortunate that there weren’t a lot of Asian men this season,” she said in an interview published on Monday, July 1. Through the years, the franchise has notably lacked racial diversity. Matt James was the first Black male lead of The Bachelor in 2021. His season stirred controversy when images resurfaced of contestant Rachael Kirkconnell attending an antebellum-themed party years before.
In a candid interview earlier last month with The Los Angeles Times, executive producer Bennett Graebner said they “let Matt down.”
