Why did Chris Harrison leave The Bachelor franchise?

Earlier this week, former Bachelor franchise host Chris Harrison dropped the first two episodes of his highly anticipated podcast, The Most Dramatic Podcast Ever. It was interesting, to say the least. If you haven’t listened to it, give it a shot, and tell us what you think.

Almost two years ago, news broke out that Chris Harrison was fired from The Bachelor franchise. He stepped away from his hosting duties following controversial comments he made during an interview with Rachel Lindsay regarding then-contestant Rachael Kirkconnell’s controversial Antebellum party pictures.

He said to Lindsay, “Well, Rachel, is it a good look in 2018, or is it not a good look in 2021? Because there’s a big difference.” Lindsay’s response to that was, “It’s not a good look, ever.” I remember watching that interview and feeling a sense of cringe as those words came out of Harrison’s mouth.

As I said, it’s been two years since that infamous interview, and Harrison is breaking the silence about his exit and how he feels about everything that went down.

During the first two episodes, Harrison talked about walking away from the franchise and its devastating effect on his life. He talked about how he lost weight, was ridiculed and isolated, and mourned greatly for his grave mistake.

However, listening to what he had to say was a bit strange and off-putting. He didn’t mention Rachel Lindsay and the comments he made to her during that interview, he didn’t directly address the exact thing he did, and it was just all kinds of weird.

I won’t get into too many details about what Harrison said because I think you should listen to it and make your judgments. Needless to say, he has a lot to say, and he is not holding back anymore–not even a little bit.
