After Rozlyn accused Harrison of hitting on her producer boyfriend's wife, he wrote:
"There was one random comment Rozlyn made at the end of our interview while she was desperately backtracking after being confronted with the overwhelming evidence against her that I do want to address. During the interview I made mention that it was unfortunate we had to fire a guy that was a “dear friend to many”. Her reply to this was the following: “That’s news to him, especially when you were hitting on his wife in New Zealand. He thought that was crazy.” That night I told her “I clearly won’t dignify that with a response.” The reason I didn’t respond immediately is that’s exactly what she would have wanted from me. It was a desperate attempt by a very desperate woman to create a diversion and deflect the spotlight from herself as she had done several times throughout the interview when she felt backed into a corner by the overwhelming truth. I was extremely disappointed that Rozlyn would stoop to that level and bring my family and me into this already sad and unfortunate situation. Beyond the fact that it’s just flat out not true, that comment was well beyond the line of decency and speaks volumes to the kind of person Rozlyn is. My wife, who I’ve been with since I was 18 and have been married to for over 16 years, was in the audience that night and got as big a laugh out of Rozlyn’s comment as I did."
Harrison's response to the negativity surrounding Jake's choice of Vienna in 2010:
"Vienna got out of the helicopter shaking like a leaf. She was so nervous she could barely breathe. You could tell she had completely fallen in love with Jake and felt incredibly vulnerable. That bit where he gave her back that promise ring was a little cruel and it had her going, but he quickly redeemed himself. It was easily one of the most beautiful proposals we've ever had on the show. I realize Jake's choice and his proposal to Vienna surprised some of you, and it's even been called controversial.
While I respect all of your opinions, there is one thing I don't get. How could anybody possibly have a problem with two people falling in love and finding happiness together? I'm not saying you can't be surprised or even think that one of the other women might have been better, but now that he's made his final decision and you see they are together and very much in love, how can you fault that? I've already been asked if I think it will last. The answer is I don't know, and to pretend that I do would be ignorant as well as presumptuous." http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20350871,00.htmlhttp://popwatch.ew.com/2010/02/23/chris-harrison-blogs-the-bachelor-the-women-tell-all/
