Deadline Hollywood says Chris is receiving an eight-figure payout. The website says Chris received a large payout because his lawyer allegedly threatened to file a lawsuit that would expose some of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette’s dirty secrets.
The NY Post says Harrison wanted $25 million to keep quiet. A source tells the newspaper, “He knows a lot about inappropriate behavior on set: fights between contestants, misbehavior including use of illegal substances while overseas and complaints from producers that were allegedly brushed under the carpet by ABC execs. He was ready to tell the truth about how things really work over there — and he has plenty of evidence to back him up. Chris was making $5 million a season and wanted $25 million to go.”
Chris was pulled from the show after doing an interview with contestant Rachel Kirkconnell. He showed compassion after she admitted that she attended a slave-themed fraternity formal. Here is what Chris posted on his Instagram page:
David Spade is going to guest host ”Bachelor in Paradise” this Summer.
A source tells US Weekly Magazine that Chris is frustrated. “The whole situation is frustrating for him. Until things are settled legally and contractually, he can’t even plan his next steps. He’s been getting all kinds of offers on projects, so he’s hoping to lock something in soon. He has a team who has been supporting him this entire time and is working on his next move. He’s hosted other shows in the past so safe to say this isn’t the end of Chris Harrison hosting!”
