He then begged fans of The Bachelor not to act as \u201cjudge, jury, and executioner.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kirkconnell eventually did attempt to explain and apologize for the photo, pleading ignorance of the picture\u2019s racial overtones. Harrison, however, was assailed for \u201cperpetuating racism\u201d and fans started a petition to have Harrison removed as \u201cBachelor\u201d host, given that the current series features the show\u2019s first black Bachelor, Matt James.<\/p>\n<p>Harrison issued a pledge to work harder, telling fans on Twitter that \u201c[w]hile I do not speak for Rachel Kirkconnell, my intentions were simply to ask for grace in offering her an opportunity to speak on her own behalf. What I now realize I have done is cause harm by wrongly speaking in a manner that perpetuates racism, and for that, I am so deeply sorry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When that was not enough, he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/bachelor-host-chris-harrison-steps-aside-over-accusations-of-perpetuating-racism-for-speaking-out-against-cancel-culture\">issued a second, more pointed apology<\/a> and noted that he was stepping aside from hosting duties.<\/p>\n<p>On Saturday, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2021\/02\/27\/entertainment\/emmanuel-acho-the-bachelor-host-chris-harrison-trnd\/index.html\">CNN reports<\/a>, ABC announced that Harrison would be replaced by former NFL player Emmanuel Acho, who hosts a YouTube series about confronting racism, for this season wrap-up finale, \u201cThe Bachelor: After the Final Rose,\u201d where, typically, the bachelor and his chosen fiance cross paths with the rest of the season\u2019s female contestants, and address issues that arose during filming (including, it seems, the racism allegations).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAcho, the host of the YouTube series \u2018Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Man,\u2019 announced on Saturday he would host the one-hour special for the 25th season,\u201d the network noted, adding that it appears Acho will address the situation head-on during the special.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve accepted the Rose &#038; am honored to be hosting the @bachelorabc After the Final Rose this year,\u201d Acho\u00a0tweeted. \u201cIt\u2019s been a pivotal season &#038; this episode will be one of the most storied shows in its history. Empathy is needed and change is coming. See y\u2019all then!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As for Harrison\u2019s earlier appearances, to avoid concerns that fans might think ABC retained Harrison for select episodes, the show appears to have placed a Disclaimer on scenes filmed before Harrison stepped aside.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thewrap.com\/chris-harrison-celebrity-wheel-of-fortune-disclaimer-bachelor\/\">The Wrap reports<\/a> that last week\u2019s episode, which featured footage of Harrison competing on a celebrity edition of \u201cWheel of Fortune\u201d noted that the scenes were filmed in December.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHarrison appeared on the ABC game show, competing alongside Alfonso Ribeiro and Robert Herjavec, to raise money for Feeding America.
