(ABC/Paul Hebert)
of wondering if Chris Harrison will be back to host The Bachelorette, his fate has been decided. He is out, and Tayshia Adams and Kaitlyn Bristowe are in.
Chris Harrison will not be hosting the next season of ‘The Bachelorette: We support Chris in the work that he is committed to doing. In his absence, former Bachelorettes Tayshia Adams and Kaitlyn Bristowe will support the new Bachelorette through next season. As we continue the dialogue around achieving greater equity and inclusion within ‘The Bachelor’ franchise, we are dedicated to improving the BIPOC representation of our crew, including among the executive producer ranks. These are important steps in effecting fundamental change so that our franchise is a celebration of love that is reflective of our world.

I think the writing has been on the wall for a while. Even before the scandal, there were rumors that he might be leaving the franchise. This was their out.
However, can ABC afford to lose another popular host after the failed decision to replace Tom Bergeron with Tyra Banks?
