Charity Lawson Announced As ‘The Bachelorette’ for Season 20 of the Show

It’s official – Charity Lawson is the next Bachelorette!

ABC revealed the big news following The Bachelor: Women Tell All special on the network, where current Bachelor, Zach Shallcross, looked back on all the women who were on his season.

In the official release, it was revealed that Charity will take on the mantle of the 20th Bachelorette, coming this summer.

Charity is a child and family therapist from Columbus, Georgia, and had an emotional exit from The Bachelor earlier this week.

Now, as the Bachelorette, she is “searching for a life partner who loves dogs, thrifting and a good tailgate; but, above all else, is honest, empathetic and values her for who she is.”

The release added that “with parents who have been married over 47 years, Charity has been instilled with the confidence of knowing what she deserves and is eager to find a lasting love matching their example.”
