Lindsay — who was the franchise’s first-ever Black lead in 2017 — carries an incredible burden on her shoulders, as she constantly uses her platform to speak out against race issues facing the ABC series, essentially becoming the show’s unofficial spokesperson for diversity and inclusion. Earlier this month, she interviewed longtime “Bachelor” host Chris Harrison on “Extra” in a conversation that garnered widespread attention for all the wrong reasons — during the interview, Harrison defended current “Bachelor” contestant, and frontrunner, Rachael Kirkconnell, who has been under fire for resurfaced photos of her in attendance at a plantation-themed fraternity party in 2018. In the aftermath of his comments, Harrison apologized and announced he’d be “stepping aside” from the franchise for “a period of time.”
