Mike Johnson admits he was initially "butt hurt" after Matt James was named as the first black Bachelor
-
"Honestly, it is what it is," the former Bachelorette star said on the Almost Famous podcast. "They picked a great guy and for like 30 minutes I was butt hurt but after that, you move on with life. I know I'm an amazing human being and amazing person so therefore, I'm not going to let a few executive producers who didn't choose me twice make me feel any type of way." Johnson added he didn't have "any recent discussions" to become The Bachelor.
