Matt James has spoken out regarding the scandal involving Harrison who was criticized for defending contestant Rachael Kirkconnell's attendance at an "Old South" themed party in 2018.
Then longtime host Chris Harrison conducted an interview with former "Bachelorette" star Rachel Lindsay, who made history as the first Black Bachelorette, in which he ended up defending Kirkonnell in the interview. It prompted backlash and the blowback led to a public apology from the 49-year-old star, followed by a decision to step aside for a time of personal reflection.More Related News
