The \"Bachelor\" alum, who is biracial, also touched on the historical implication of her being asked to take over for longtime franchise host, Chris Harrison.

Adams was also asked about her thoughts concerning her former flame, Colton Underwood, who recently came out as gay, and responded she \"didn't suspect it at all.\"

It was previously revealed in March that Harrison will not be returning to host \"The Bachelorette\" after he came under fire for defending Rachael Kirkconnell -- after pictures of the former \"The Bachelor\" contestant at an Old South antebellum party in 2018 surfaced online -- to former \"Bachelorette\" star Rachel Lindsay, the Bachelor Nation franchise's first Black lead.

The next \"Bachelorette\" season premieres with lead Katie Thurston on June 7 at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.
