While the majority of hardcore Bachelor and Bachelorette viewers probably didn’t expect for Chris Harrison to make a full-fledged return to the hosting position at any point in the near future, considering the racially charged manner in which he lined up his own ousting, the lack of updates on the matter had many wondering when, if ever, an official resolution would come.
Now, Deadline is reporting a deal was worked out between Harrison’s legal team (fronted by Bryan Freeman) and WBTV’s Warner Horizons, with the host reportedly landing a “mid-range eight-figure payoff” to walk away from the franchise without spilling anymore bad blood, metaphorically speaking.
