'UnREAL' Creator Responds to Chris Harrison's Criticism

Shiri Appleby, Freddie Stroma, and Constance Zimmer pose on the red carpet at the Paley Center for Media’s An Evening with UnREAL on Thursday (July 30) in Beverly Hills, Calif.

Other cast members in attendance included Craig Bierko, a pregnant Ashley Scott, Breeda Wool, Arielle Kebbel, Josh Kelly, Jeffrey Bowyer-Chapman, Amy Hill, and Aline Elasmar.

At the event, the show’s creator Marti Noxon responded to The Bachelor host Chris Harrison‘s criticism of the series.

“Honestly, I was thrilled. I was so excited because I was like, ‘Oh, my God, they noticed us!’” Marti told TV Line. “His dislike of the show was not surprising to me, so it didn’t hurt my feelings.”

“Any press is good press,” she added. “But in this case, it was particularly fun. I’m like a nerd. The captain of the football team is talking about me, even if he’s saying, ‘Hey, nerd!’”

FYI: Constance is wearing a L’Agence top and pants, Jerome C. Rousseau shoes, and Broken English jewelry.
