For these reasons, @chrisbharrison cannot return to his role as host of @BachelorABC if the franchise is serious about committing to anti-racism and creating a safe space for its cast, crew, and production teams. #TheBachelor #FireChrisHarrison

Given that @BacheloretteABC does not lack the knowledge, support of fans and alumni, or resources to change, the only remaining explanation is that @ABCNetwork is more committed to their deep-rooted bigotry than being on the right side of history.

Two things can be true at once. We love @charitylaws_ as #TheBachelorette and detest the long-running discriminatory casting of the @ABCNetwork staple.
The fight continues.

I KNEW it from day 1, it was a matter of TIME, Chris’ MOUTH got him 1st, but Mike was the MASTERMIND behind everything. Racism, bullying and creating a disrespectful working environment! NOW the show will have TRUE love stories RESPECTING beliefs and how each CULTURE express LOVE

Is it any wonder that there’s been no systemic change @BachelorABC? Imagine the toxicity that has bled into every single aspect of this show.
Once again, saddened, but not surprised. #TheBachelor
For 21yrs @BachelorABC has refused to cast diverse body types—ignoring this campaign & the audience asking for representation. We are disgusted at the latest revelations about @fleissmeister in @PuckNews, revelations which show both his racism and anti-fat bias. #TheBachelor
ALT Picture of Mike Fleiss on peach background, under heading “Breaking: Mike Fleiss more vile than imagined.” Quotation from a Puck news article follows “despite industrywide declines, Fleiss would blame the erosion on the show’s efforts to diversify even trying to edit Black people out of scenes. He also made moo-ing sounds when he saw a contestant he thought was overweight.”

So grateful for all the work that was done by the people that matter. Black alumni, audience, commentators!! 🌹And showing my appreciation to allies like these show producers…that complained about a racist work environment that lead to his departure. A win for #BachelorNation

19 YEARS to do the right thing, but not without a global racial justice movement, intense media coverage of a fan-led campaign, & vocal alumni to force their hand.
No one is surprised by this.
The fish rots from the head @BachelorABC. #TheBachelor

Petition to never have another season of #TheBachelor. No more shower scenes, no gaslighting, no Sean Lowe.
Just The Bachelorette from here on out. Think about it @ABCNetwork.

Confession: It’s been nearly 18hrs and we cannot stop thinking about mold wine. Daydreaming of mold wine merch. Curing our seasonal depression. Considering changing our name and/or making mold wine our whole personality.

ALT Picture of Zach with confusion in his eyes as a producer spells out MULLED, which he confused for the word mold.
Never moving on.
So excited for @charitylaws_.

Bachelor Nation is tired of the franchise using the Black contestants/alums to do the emotional and educational labor for the show, so we are so grateful they had @drkirabanks on to help. That said we also hope Genevie sends @bachelorabc an invoice. #TheBachelor @bachdiversity
While it’s groundbreaking for @BachelorABC to address their racism controversies head on, it’s not lost us or @bachnation that Erich skated by without so much as a mention—once again showing the double standard women are held to in this franchise. #TheBachelor
One question @fleissmeister: What does “do better” mean?
Specifically, does it mean not casting racists for the @BacheloretteABC to date? Doing better is ambiguous, and can’t be measured. Will you commit to improving cast vetting for Charity’s season? #TheBachelor
“I can’t wait to show little girls that look like me…being in a position like this is possible.”
We are so excited for you @charitylaws_ !
Representation matters and it appears #TheBachelor & @BacheloretteABC may finally be getting the message.
“The truth is, as a franchise, we’ve done a very poor job of addressing serious topics head-on” -@JessePalmerTV. 👀
This is the actual most shocking thing that has ever happened on #TheBachelor . A conversation about racism and Blackface on THIS show? You truly love to see it.

This conversation is truly shocking, in the best possible way, and highlights how low the bar is on #TheBachelor.
Thank you @BachelorABC, Dr. Banks, and @JessePalmerTV for this baby step into accountability and using your platform responsibly. 👏🏻👏🏼👏🏽👏🏾👏🏿

Just a reminder that there is no such thing as good and bad foods. Zach’s comments allude to eating carbs in rare exceptions. Food’s main purpose is to nourish you—you can enjoy carbs anytime. #TheBachelor #RosesForEveryBody
ALT Image of Zach and Ariel in pizza shop, eating pizza. Zach is saying “oh my god, carbs are so good.” Ariel agrees “they are really good”.

Just the white man we’ve all been waiting to hear from about diversity!
Thanks for joining the convo, @fleissmeister. Better 20yrs late than never. You do realize that literally ANY diversity #TheBachelor is still diversity, right? Or no?
Bachelor Diversity Campaign retweeted
Okay so @BachelorABC seems to listened to fans and brought the romance back to the show but what about BODY DIVERSITY. We know you hear us. Do something about it. #TheBachelor #RosesForEveryBody
