AceShowbiz - Chris Harrison's exit from "The Bachelorette" might have saddened Sean Lowe. A few weeks after the TV host announced that he permanently quit the ABC dating series franchise, Catherine Giudici divulged that her husband Sean is kind of "boycotting" the show.

The 35-year-old graphic designer made the revelation while attending a launch party for the UnFiltered dating app on Wednesday, June 23. "I'm watching it," she said when speaking to relationship expert Rori Sassoon. "[But] my husband is kind of boycotting it because of the Chris Harrison stuff."

"I'm watching it this season to support the girls," the season 17 winner of "The Bachelor" added. "It's been interesting. It's been an interesting season. It's just the beginning. … I'm excited for [Katie Thurston]."

Chirs exited "The Bachelor" franchise after 19 years. He confirmed his departure via Instagram on June 8 by stating, "I've had a truly incredible run as host of 'The Bachelor' franchise and now I'm excited to start a new chapter. I'm so grateful to Bachelor Nation for all of the memories we've made together. While my two-decade journey is wrapping up, the friendships I've made will last a lifetime."

Sean himself has reacted to Chris' announcement by writing in the comment section, "It will never be the same. Love you buddy." Kaitlyn Bristowe, who has replaced Chris as the host of "The Bachelorette" season 17 along with Tayshia Adams, chimed in, "You are truly irreplaceable as a host, thank you for all the years you put into this show and making it what it is. No one does it quite like Mr. Chris Harrison."

Chris first stepped back from the franchise earlier this year. On what prompted the move, the TV personality came under fire after defending former "Bachelor" contestant Rachael Kirkconnell over her past racist behavior in an interview with Rachel Lindsay.
