The real estate broker's budding romance with Rachael Kirkconnell has made headlines amid her resurfaced racist actions , which she apologized for in a statement on Thursday.
On Wednesday, host Chris Harrison apologized for "wrongly speaking in a manner that perpetuates racism" during an interview with Rachel Lindsay about the scandal.
Bachelor Nation continued to speak out against Chris' remarks, and on Saturday, the host again apologized, announcing that he'll be "stepping aside" for awhile, and will not be joining Matt's After the Final Rose special.
6:16 PM: Kit sits down with Matt, and tells her there are things she won't compromise on -- like finishing school, traveling and figuring out her career path.
6:06 PM: Matt tells Abigail that he explored relationships with other women after giving her the first impression rose -- and his heart is pulling him in another direction.
I knew that was a decision I was going to have to make, but after weighing what this journey could mean for me, to give me that opportunity to find love with someone, with you specifically, I thought it was worth it," Bri says.
