ABC Entertainment president Channing Dungey acknowledges a gaffe in how “The Bachelorette” contestants were picked for Rachel Lindsay, the franchise’s first African-American lead. The long-running dating show’s 13th season included drama centered around contestant Lee Garrett, a Nashville-based songwriter who caught flak for his racially charged tweets and reference to black cast members Eric Bigger and Kenny King as “aggressive.” Dungey told reporters at the Television Critics Association’s summer press tour on Sunday that she doesn’t believe that the show used racism as entertainment, saying she doesn’t “have any regrets” about how those scenes were presented.

For the past 15 years, ABC's The Bachelor franchise has beguiled America with its blend of sponsored fantasy and structured reality, while also being glaringly white. At best, its relationship with race has been noncommital and, at worst, toxic. If people of color do make it past casting – some seasons had zero minorities – they usually don't last. Latinxs, East and South Asians remain a rarity on the reality series (though half-Asian women fare well once they're there) and, according to a 2016 analysis, most black contestants are gone within two weeks.

This season’s Men Tell All special focused largely on the drama surrounding Bachelorette contestant Lee Garrett‘s string of highly offensive tweets — but a lot more went down than fans actually witnessed during the two-hour episode.

And Rachel, host Chris Harrison and the rest of the men did not go easy on Lee during the two-hour special, calling him out for his racist behavior.

Some of those sensitive issues included the 2016 election, feminism and Black Lives Matter, a movement which he allegedly supported categorizing as a “terrorist group.

This season of “The Bachelorette” was supposed to be the most inclusive in the “Bachelor” franchise because it finally featured an African-American as the person every contestant is trying to wed. But Rachel Lindsay’s season has been notable for ugly moments involving race. The headline of a commentary in Vice’s Broadly summarized recent complaints about the show: “The Bachelorette’ Has Confused Racism With Entertainment.” The problems stem from comments by a contestant named Lee Garrett, a white singer-songwriter from Nashville, who has accused two black rivals for Rachel’s affection of being “aggressive.” The word “aggressive” has nasty...

After several episodes of disputes between a white and black contestant on The Bachelorette, the tension finally simmered over Tuesday night when Lee Garrett, the white contestant, was eliminated by lead Rachel Lindsay on the sixth episode of the ABC reality series. The episode also saw Lindsay slashing her suitors down to six remaining men after sending a whopping six contestants home. Only one black contestant of the history-making diverse group remains.
The bulk of the promised "drama" by ABC — which included a misleading bloody eye — unfolded on Monday's episode, with Garrett's elimination taking place at the outset of the second night of the heavily teased two-part event.

Last week, The Bachelorette touched on racial issues for one of the first times in franchise history — and this week, it truly zeroed in on them as the drama brewing between Kenny and Lee bubbled over.
The end result? A two-on-one date for the ages. Let’s jump in.
Group Date, Continued
Things picked up where they left off last week, with Kenny — once again — confronting Lee for telling Rachel that he was “aggressive.” The confrontation ultimately fizzled out when Lee walked away, but resumed just moments later after Rachel decided to hand out the group date rose to Bryan.

Rachel Lindsay has broken her silence on controversial contestant Lee Garrett.
For two episodes and counting, The Bachelorette has centered its drama on Garrett, a contestant who has been accused of picking fights with black contestants. On Monday's episode, Garrett, a white singer-songwriter from Nashville, antagonized Kenny "'Pretty Boy Pitbull" King, a black wrestler from Las Vegas.
Their on-screen confrontations — many of which happened when Lindsay wasn't around — ultimately caused the Bachelorette to have a tearful breakdown over the pressure of being the first black lead in the franchise.
"I get pressure from so many ways being in this position," she said to the camera, directly addressing the high-stakes of her history-making season for the first time. "I already know what people are going to say about me, and judge me for the decisions I'm making. I'm going to have to be the one who has to deal with that and nobody else, and that's a lot."

As expected, DeMario Jackson having a secret girlfriend was a just villainous warning shot for The Bachelorette season 13. In week 4 of Rachel Lindsay's televised journey for love, Lee Garrett firmly established himself as the villain of the season. Lee is a villain and he might just be the worst villain the franchise has ever seen but that is in no way a good thing for the people watching or participating in The Bachelorette.
