In an interview on The Bill Simmons Podcast, James said Harrison's comments to Rachel Lindsay were “sad to hear” and that he thought what he heard was from “an alternate reality," according to Vulture. James adds that he thinks Harrison is taking the right steps to return to The Bachelor franchise and making amends for his comments. “Chris has outlined in his statement that he’s committed to putting in the work and he’s taking a step back, so I respect that,” James said. “I hope that he does. I don’t think that anybody should be trying to cancel him. We should be calling him in to do that work that he outlined and wants to do. He’s taking a step back and committed to doing that. I look forward to seeing him doing that.” ALSO: James deletes all his Instagram posts.
