Chris Harrison is ready to talk.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor my part in this, I was sick to my stomach. I lost 20 pounds. I didn’t sleep. I didn’t eat. I was scared to death not of my job but of my family \u2013 my fianc\u00e9, my kids. I’m a bit of an empath and I am very loyal to a fault and I am a team player,\u201d Harrison said on his new podcast \u201cThe Most Dramatic Podcast \u2026 Ever.\u201d \u201cWhen this happened, while I was sick to my stomach and so disappointed that the interview went that way and it was on me because I controlled what I had to say. And while the point I was trying to get across I stand by, the way I did it was messy and disappointing and it’s just not me.\u201d<\/p>\n

The former host of ABC’s lucrative \u201cBachelor\u201d and \u201cBachelorette\u201d reality shows (and several of its related spin-offs) stepped away from the franchise in early 2021 after defending contestant Rachael Kirkconnell, who faced criticism after attending an \u201cOld South\u201d ball in 2018. Harrison was speaking to Rachel Lindsay, who was the \u201cBachelorette\u201d in the show’s 13th season, on the entertainment show \u201cExtra.\u201d After the ensuing media backlash (including comments from Lindsay about how the interaction made her feel), Harrison announced that he was stepping back from the show. And then in June, it was announced that he had left the franchise completely.<\/p>\n

And that was it. Until now. Harrison has a new podcast on the iHeartRadio network called \u201cThe Most Dramatic Podcast \u2026 Ever.\u201d Apparently, it will be about romantic relationships and not, specifically, his former reality show (although the title of the podcast is a play on the frequently hyperbolic marketing for the series).<\/p>\n

\u201cIf this is going to be about relationships, the most important part of that is communication,\u201d Harrison began. \u201cWe have not talked in a long time, and I think it’s time we finally have that chat. And I’m sorry it’s taken so long.\u201d<\/p>\n
