In June 2021, Chris Harrison announced that he was leaving the “Bachelor” franchise. “I’m so grateful to Bachelor Nation for all of the memories we’ve made together,” he said in a since-deleted Instagram post (via Deadline). “While my two-decade journey is wrapping up, the friendships I’ve made will last a lifetime.”
Since then, Harrison has been producing a new podcast called “The Most Dramatic Podcast Ever.” In the first episode of the podcast, he started out by saying that he felt “sick” after receiving backlash from the controversial interview with Rachel Lindsay, admitting that he had lost 20 pounds. “And as soon as this happened, I just wanted to wrap my arms around all of you, everyone who has ever been on the show, and just say I’m sorry,” he said. Harrison also believes the timing of the interview was a contributing factor to how things played out, specifically with the pandemic and racial unrest. “There was a lot of confusion, anger, [and] resentment … And [also] my timing of being sloppy, inappropriate, [and] wrong,” he admitted.

In March 2021, it was reported that Harrison had hired an attorney for the way he was treated since the bombshell interview, though it’s unclear if he will pursue legal action. “Chris has had a spotless record for 20 years,” a friend of Harrison told Page Six. “Now he’s ready to tell the truth about how things really work over there.”
