Chris Harrison Leaves 'The Bachelor With NDA And $40 Million Payout

Chris Harrison's 19-year run as the host of The Bachelor has come to an end not with a rose, but rather with a non-disclosure agreement and $40 million.
“Don’t expect Chris to be sitting down with Oprah like Meghan and Harry or writing a book because he signed an iron-clad non-disclosure agreement before his departure announcement was made,” sources tell Breaking Celebrity News.
“Chris knew the decision was coming for several weeks as his lawyers had been working on getting him the best possible exit agreement possible. The show wanted his silence and Chris wanted lots of money, so ultimately is wasn’t so hard to reach a deal that made both sides happy.”
Pals add that Chris is angry but so rich that he will get over it.
“Basically Chris got clipped because he defended Rachel Kirkconnell after she attended a plantation party. Now Rachel is back with ‘Bachelor’ Matt James and Chris is out of a job,” sources add.
“But on the other hand, the show took Chris from an unknown and turned him into a star. No one can ever take away from him his 19 years hosting a hit show. Chris was earning around $8 million a season for the last several years and got 5 year’s salary to walk away and keep his mouth shut.”
