Bachelor fans want Chris Harrison to be replaced by Rachel Lindsay, JoJo Fletcher or Ben Higgins after ‘racism’ scandal
THE Bachelor fans are suggesting that a former star, like Rachel Linsday or JoJo Fletcher, take over from Chris Harrison as host.
The 49-year-old TV personality has come under fire recently after making “racist” comments.
Viewers slammed after he defended contestant Rachael Kirkconnell and her actions while at college, including attending an "Old Plantation" party.
He later apologized for his hurtful words and revealed he was stepping away from the reality franchise for a bit and would not host the After the Final Rose special.
His decision came after viewers and to also denounce the hosts’ stance.
Now, fans have some ideas about who should take his place as host, should Chris' departure from the Bachelor world become permanent.
One fan wrote on Twitter: “The only acceptable replacement for Chris Harrison is Rachel Lindsay.
Rachael was also in the past.
The then posted a lengthy statement on his Instagram where he acknowledged that his “ignorance did damage to friends, colleagues and strangers alike."
A spokeswoman for Crest’s parent company, Procter & Gamble Co., revealed that they are unhappy with Chris’ comment and are considering firing him from future commercials with them.
“We are aware of the developments around Chris Harrison and his role as host of The Bachelor,” she said in a statement to AdAge.
The spokeswoman continued: “We are in the process of gathering more information about these circumstances to determine our next steps.
“We are deeply disappointed in his comments, which do not reflect our values.”
