Rachel Lindsay says 'Bachelor' franchise should suspend production until race, diversity issues are addressed
Fox News
Former 'Bachelorette' Rachel Lindsay called for the show to suspend production to resolve its race-related issues.
Harrison’s statements during that interview led to immense backlash for the host, prompting him to announce that he’s stepping aside from his duties for a time of personal reflection. However, speaking on her "Higher Learning" podcast on Tuesday, the first Black Bachelorette noted that the franchise is rushing headlong into production on another season while the wounds are still fresh from its race controversy. "They’re about to go into production for ‘The Bachelorette," she explained (via Variety). "I think they should just stop until … they get the train back on the tracks. You’re going to go another season, but you still have all of these issues. How have you fixed them coming into a new season? You really haven’t. I think that they need to take a beat, figure things out, regroup and then bring the product back to us in a way that we can all enjoy it like we used to."More Related News
