The current season of “The Bachelorette” has been marred by controversy after it was revealed that contestant Devin Strader faced an arrest and a restraining order from a former girlfriend seven years prior to appearing on the show.
Sources close to the production confirmed that this information did not come to light during their vetting process. “As exhaustive as our vetting process is, this protective order did not surface in our searches,” a source told Vanity Fair.
The allegations, which have sparked outrage amongst viewers, came to light after Strader was cast on the show. While there is no criminal record against him, the fact that a restraining order was issued raises serious questions about ABC’s background checks and the safety of their contestants.
Fans have expressed anger and disappointment, demanding an explanation from the show’s producers and urging Bachelorette Jenn to receive additional support in the wake of this revelation. The incident has reignited discussions about the need for stricter vetting processes and the safety of contestants on reality TV shows.
