Clare Crawley’s not canned. but is Chris Harrison?

News that Chris Harrison got canned from the show came from Rob Mills, an ABC exec. What sparked it all off, involved a tweet by Clare Crawley. She objected to Matt James doing cameos ahead of the season. Allegedly he does them for a charity. Notably, some fans think it’s not a non-profit charity. Others think he uses his Cameos as an excuse to hook up with other women. Anyway, she wrote, “If you [do] interviews and [create] Cameo accounts before you are even on my season… you are in it for the wrong reasons.” She added a hashtag that read, “#dontwasteyourtime.”

Rob Mills, one of the ABC execs for The Bachelorette then tweeted, “BREAKING: Chris Harrison removed from upcoming season of #TheBachelorette.” Fans reacted with shock and horror. One said, “my heart just stopped when i saw this.” Another one noted, “This was the most terrifying notification I ever got!” Then, one person commented, “No!!!! I love Chris he is who I would choose for my bachelor!” Plenty of fans got worked up about the popular host being fired from the show. But, it seems that Rob Mills just joked.

Joke about Chris missed by The Bachelorette fans

Later, it turned out that Rob merely joked about Chris being fired. He actually referred to the fact that Chris Harrison appears on Clare Crawley’s season. He already does his cameos and interviews. So, his joke seemed that Clare forgot to account for him when she spoke about people appearing on her season who do cameos. In fact,  he later returned and explained that fans missed the “joke.”

Chris Harrison seemed a bit grumpy about his joke. He replied, saying, “Not sure people are getting the joke here. Thank you for the questions I’ll be getting this week @Millsy11374.”
