Meet The 25 Men Vying For Charity Lawson’s Heart on Season 20 of ‘The Bachelorette’
Fans of The Bachelorette will soon be seeing Charity Lawson search for love on season 20 of the ABC franchise.
And the beautiful child and family therapist from Columbus, Georgia will have 25 suitors fighting for her attention when the show premieres Monday, June 26.
Sweet Charity made it to Zach Shallcross’ final four on season 27 of The Bachelor earlier this year, but the tech exec jilted her before his fantasy suites episode.
She endeared herself to viewers by making friends with her rival female contestants and being honest, revealing to Zach that a previous relationship ended because her boyfriend had cheated.
Charity fell hard for Zach. She introduced him to her parents and fiercely protective brother during a hometown visit, but was left heartbroken.
When Zach, who ultimately got engaged to Kaity Biggar, eliminated Charity from The Bachelor, he tearfully told her, “I hope you know, from my heart, this is the hardest decision I’ve had to make. I know you don’t want to hear this from me, but you deserve all the love, and I couldn’t give it to you.”
Charity told the cameras as she left the show, “I don’t really have words, because it doesn’t make sense. It makes no f---ing sense to me. Sometimes that’s just the way life goes, and it sucks, but it just means I’m one step closer to finding who I need to be with.”
She couldn’t have been more right. In March, ABC named her The Bachelorette during Zach’s “Women Tell All” special. And now, she'll have plenty of guys to choose from!
Charity was proud to become the fourth Black Bachelorette after Rachel Lindsay (Season 13), Tayshia Adams (Season 16), and Michelle Young (Season 18).
When host Jesse Palmer told Charity she’d won the coveted gig, she said, "Stop. Is this for real? No way. Oh my God, I'm going to cry.”
Charity, 27, who earned a master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling from Auburn University, also said on camera, "I've waited forever to find the love of my life and it blows my mind that I could meet my person and be engaged and literally have my happily ever after."
Could Charity’s potential husband be on our list of contestants below?
