The commercial real estate broker who was cast as the first Black lead of ABC’s “The Bachelor” was hoping to find true love. But his journey to find a soulmate among more than 30 beautiful women ended in heartbreak and a firestorm centered around racism.
During the season, James had fallen in love with graphic designer Rachel Kirkconnell, who, as social media sleuths quickly discovered, had attended an antebellum South-themed party in 2018 and “liked” other racially insensitive posts something producers either failed to catch before casting her or simply ignored.

Openness and dialogue would be prioritized: “We intend to focus our efforts and resources to compassionately and constructively talk about these matters openly and honestly as we seek solutions. We intend to keep the conversation going, not just today, but for as long as it takes to bring about real change.”
