“The Bachelor” Creator Mike Fleiss Left The Series After A Racial Discrimination Investigation Into Him
We all know The Bachelor, but you may not know the creator of the show Mike Fleiss unless you read Dlisted and remember that time his wife got a restraining order against him and accused him of assault but later reunited with him. Mess. But mess seems to follow Mike, as he revealed this week that he would be leaving The Bachelor after 21 years. He made the exit sound chipper and amicable but it sounds like the opposite is true. It turns out there was a racial discrimination investigation into Mike, and the result was: Mike Begone!
The 19th Season Of “The Bachelorette” Will Have Two Leads
The Bachelorette is probably going to be a mess next season. Because it will have two leads who were the jilted women from last night’s The Bachelor season finale. 30-year-old Gabby Windey (brunette) and 25-year-old Rachel Recchia (blonde) are going to date 30+ dudes in the hopes of finding their forever love. Gabby and Rachel will date the men at the same time. Double-Shot At Love, who? MTV needs to sue over copyright infringement!
“The Bachelor” Contestant Daria Rose Spent $4,400 On Wardrobe Only To Be Eliminated On Night One
Daria Rose was a contestant on this season of The Bachelor which is airing now. And in a TikTok and an article on Insider, she gets into how she dropped $4,400 on glamorous ensembles for the show, but instead of touching a rose on the first night, she probably touched the keys on her phone to type in TheRealReal on her browser so she could sell that shit and maybe come out even!
Several “Bachelor Nation” Alums Received Tens Of Thousands Of Dollars In PPP Loans During The Pandemic
Bachelor Nation cranks out like five to ten solid influencers a year across their shows The Bachelor, The Bachelorette, and Bachelor In Paradise. The hot-bodied twenty-somethings who go on that show aren’t even usually looking for love and are instead looking for a hotel or travel website to sponsor vacations where they wear rented designer merch and get to keep one piece of their choice valued under $500. The fucking dream! But then Coronavirus came along and made it “hard” for these reality messes turned influencers to travel and make money for doing absolutely nothing. TMZ says that some of the Bachelor folks dipped into PPP loans meant to help the needy! And no, Colton Underwood, being needy for attention does not count!
Chris Harrison Got A $9 Million Payout To Leave “The Bachelor”
Earlier this month, it was announced that rose-counting reality show host robot, Chris Harrison, was leaving The Bachelor franchise after he did a disastrous interview on Extra where he defended a contestant’s racist past. We heard that ABC stuffed eight figures in Chris’ pockets to go the hell away. Well, Variety published an in-depth article about the behind-the-scenes goings-on of Chris’ exit and I’m sad to say he only received a measly $9 million, plus contractual fees. Poor guy! How will he survive?!
Chris Harrison Is Officially Out As Host Of “The Bachelor” Franchise And Was Reportedly Paid Eight Figures To Go Away
The only person getting richer than Logan Paul and Floyd Mayweather this week is going to be Chris Harrison. The former host of The Bachelor series has lost his gig for good. 49-year-old Chris had been the host of the show since it debuted in 2002 but got put in a timeout recently. Chris defended a contestant on the previous season of The Bachelor, Rachael Kirkconnell, from the “woke police” after she was found to have participated in some highly racist Antebellum balls. Chris went away for some classes from a race educator but I guess that wasn’t enough. Because he’s not coming back to the show. But don’t cry for him, Bachelor Nation. It’s been reported he was paid eight figures to leave. Um, when can I get fired and then be rich enough to never have to work again as a consequence?
