'Bachelor' and 'Bachelorette' star Rachel Lindsay has put producers on notice that she's out of future appearances if they don't address the shows' perceived lack of diversity.
"This is a movement that didn't start, you know, yesterday or last week," she said."This is a movement that started years ago as Black Lives Matter but decades ago with us just demanding our lives. It's just amazing to see that we have everyone's attention right now.
The popular dating show has been on the air for 15 seasons, and 14 out of the 15 leading women have been white."These were women who were open to a new experience and open to love," Lindsay said. "I loved hearing their invaluable insight."
