<p>The current star of &#8220;The Bachelor,&#8221; Matt James, is speaking out about the recent allegations of racism the show has faced in the past weeks. Fans of the “Bachelor” franchise have eagerly awaited James&#8217; feelings on the topic, which he issued on Monday via <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CLnOgbCjyFb/">Instagram</a>.</p>
<p>In his statement, James responded to photos that resurfaced of contestant, Rachael Kirkconnell, who reportedly attended an &#8220;Old South&#8221; antebellum-themed party in 2018. After Kirkconnell was accused of vicious racism, the 19-year host of the show, Chris Harrison, appeared on an interview with Rachel Lindsay, the first black &#8220;Bachelorette.&#8221; He said multiple times that he did not defend Kirkconnell, but he felt she deserved a chance to speak for herself. The &#8220;woke police,&#8221; as described by Harrison in the interview, then came for him. He has since stepped aside, issuing two apologies for his statements.</p>
