Chris Harrison took to instagram to share his apology from his interview with Rachel Lindsay.
"To my Bachelor Nation family -- I will always own a mistake when I make one, so I am here to extend a sincere apology. I have this incredible platform to speak about love, and yesterday I took a stance on topics about which I should have been better informed."
"While I do not speak for Rachel Kirkconnell," Harrison explained, "my intentions were simply to ask for grace in offering her an opportunity to speak on her own behalf."
"What I now realize I have done is cause harm by wrongly speaking in a manner that perpetuates racism, and for that I am so deeply sorry."
He ended with a thank you to Bachelor nation and a promise. "[I] humbly thank the members of Bachelor Nation who have reached out to me to hold me accountable. I promise to do better."
Later others spoke up about the apology, Tayshia referenced the post saying, “It hit my heart a little bit more to know that he, like, actually meant what he was saying. By excusing historical racism, I defended it.”
Then on February 27, a new announcement was made Emmanuel Acho shared on instagram.
"IT'S OFFICIAL. I've accepted the Rose and am honored to be hosting the @bachelorabc After the Final Rose this year. It's been a pivotal season, and this episode will hopefully be one of the most storied shows in TV history. Empathy is needed and change is coming. Share the news! I'll see y'all then!"
