The Bachelorette's Charity & Dotun Talk Representation, Double Standards & The Future of The Bachelor Franchise

The Bachelorette’s Charity Lawson and Dotun Olubeko join AD on this week’s episode of What’s The Reality for a raw and powerful conversation.

The two share an update on life after the show from wedding plans to navigating a relationship under public scrutiny.

Charity reflects on the pressure of being the second Black Bachelorette and what it meant to represent Black women on such a massive platform, while both she and Dotun speak candidly about the lack of support and visibility they’ve received compared to other couples. Despite making history, they haven’t always been given the same recognition and they don’t shy away from addressing the biases that still exist within the franchise and its audience.

They also weigh in on the Taylor Frankie Paul headlines and the current chaos surrounding the Bachelor franchise, asking the bigger question: where does the franchise go from here?

This is an honest, unfiltered, and important conversation you don’t want to miss.
