Ever since Chris Harrison’s horrifying interview with former Bachelorette Rachel Lindsaywent viral, many have called for his removal from the franchise for defending contestant Rachael Kirkconnell’sracist actions. The backlash comes after photos of Matt James’ frontrunner at an antebellum-themed Old South party resurfaced online and Harrison told Lindsay that Kirkconnell deserved “a little grace, a little understanding, a little compassion”. Harrison issued his first apology on Instagram a couple of days ago and now The Bachelor host announced that he will, in fact, be stepping down from Bachelor Nation.
