Chris Harrison reportedly demanded producers pay him a massive exit payout or threatened he’d spill all their dirty secrets.
A network source told the New York Post, ‘He has nearly 20 years of dirt.”
“Instead of handing them a rose, he was absolutely ready to hand them a lawsuit detailing all the behind-the-scenes details,” the insider added.
Harrison reportedly knows “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.”
As Breaking Celebrity News previously reported, earlier this week, news broke that ABC had decided to find a new host for their popular dating franchise.
Harrison has been the host of the show since it launched in 2002. The producers have used him as the face of the show and hired him to host every spin-off.
It all came crashing down after Harrison decided to defend a contestant named Rachel Kirkconnell. Photos leaked which showed her attending a 2018 antebellum-themed fraternity party. Harrison’s defense caused an uproar by fans who felt he was being ignorant.
