\n\tThe showrunners of The Bachelor<\/em> are set to depart in the latest behind-the-scenes shakeup at the ABC reality franchise.<\/p>\n

\n\tClaire Freeland and Bennett Graebner are set to leave their positions, which they\u2019ve held since series<\/a> creator Mike Fleiss left the show in 2023. Their exits come in the wake of allegations that Freeland and Graebner oversaw a \u201ctoxic\u201d and \u201chostile\u201d workplace on The Bachelor<\/em>, claims the pair have denied through their attorney. <\/p>\n

\n\tWarner Bros., which produces The Bachelor<\/em>, and ABC declined to comment.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe hostile work environment claims against Freeland and Graebner emerged in a February Deadline<\/a><\/em> story in which a dozen current and former staff members on The Bachelor<\/em> accused the showrunners of creating a culture of fear and secrecy at the show and cited incidents of verbal abuse. The accusations came to light soon after ABC announced it would not air The Bachelorette<\/em> in the summer, leading to layoffs for the show\u2019s crew. (Deadline<\/em> was also first to report that Freeland and Graebner are set to exit.)<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cMy clients are well-respected professionals with a long history in this business. They are frankly stunned and saddened by some of the things they are hearing now for the first time,\u201d Michael Weinsten, Freeland and Graebner\u2019s attorney, said in a statement when the allegations were published.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn early March, Bachelor<\/em> co-executive producers Michael Margolis and Keely Booth departed the show after offering their resignations. Margolis is married to Freeland.<\/p>\n

\n\tFollowing Fleiss\u2019 departure, Freeland \u2014\u00a0who previously ran the Canadian version of The Bachelor<\/em> \u2014\u00a0was brought in as co-showrunner alongside Graebner and Jason Ehrlich, who had been with the franchise for most of its existence. Ehrlich left in 2024 after running the first season of The Golden Bachelor<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n
