As Chris Harrison’s role in Bachelor Nation remains up the air, Eric Bigger opened up exclusively to Us Weekly about the future of the franchise.

Not here for it. Sarah Gertrude Shapiro, who worked as a producer on The Bachelor from 2002 to 2004, was appalled by the controversy surrounding Chris Harrison — and couldn’t be more thrilled that he’s taking a break from his hosting duties.

Bachelor host Chris Harrison has hired a high-profile Los Angeles lawyer to represent him amid his racism controversy and temporary step-back as the host of the ABC franchise.

Page Six. "Now he's ready to tell the truth about how things really work over there — and he has plenty of evidence to back him up."Bryan Freedman, the attorney that Chris hired, is the same lawyer who represented Gabrielle Union in her dispute with "America's Got Talent." TMZ surmised that the hiring of a lawyer is a sign that Chris is worried he might be permanently off the show.

Chris Harrison is covering all of his bases, so at least it appears as though he can be prepared regardless of where the future goes within the longstanding Bachelor franchise.

Chris Harrison has a solid support system in girlfriend Lauren Zima amid the Bachelor controversy that’s rocked the franchise. Zima, 33, who covers the hit ABC show as an Entertainment Tonight correspondent, has been dating Chris for nearly three years. And, she’s sticking by his side through the good and bad times.

Chris Harrison may not be returning to host the upcoming season of The Bachelorette, but “from the sounds of things, the door is not closed on Chris,” a source close to production EXCLUSIVELY tells HollywoodLife. “There’s a very good chance that he will be back” on The Bachelor franchise, which is “at least the impression he and others affiliated with the show have been given,” our insider adds.

We’re confused: Chris Harrison recently stepped down (at least temporarily) from his hosting duties in the Bachelor franchise, right?

Matt James and Rachael Kirkconnell had found love when they saw the pair leave in a committed relationship, but things quickly took a dramatic turn when Matt revealed on that they were no longer together following Rachael's racism controversy. While Rachael went on to share that she's been educating herself with a number of things she's been reading and watching, some fans weren't exactly here for it.“I can list all the documentaries, movies and things I’ve listened to...” List them then

Chris Harrison‘s time on The Bachelorette has come to an end — at least for now, it would seem.

Chris Harrison has officially withdrawn from the upcoming season of The Bachelorette, which will begin filming this month.

Emmanuel Acho is preparing himself for the hosting opportunity of a lifetime — all while knowing there’s a possibility he could be on the hook for future gigs in the Bachelor franchise, as well!
