Bachelorette's Devin Strader: Past arrest, restraining order by ex raise red flags

Fans of The Bachelorette are reeling from revelations about contestant Devin Strader's past. The 28-year-old, who recently dumped his fiancée Jenn Tran on the show's finale, was arrested in 2017 for allegedly burglarizing an ex-girlfriend's home. Court documents also reveal a restraining order against him at the time. Reality Steve first reported the news.

The incident raises concerns about the show's vetting process, with many fans questioning how such serious allegations were missed. A source close to production claims the restraining order was sealed and didn't surface in background checks.

Strader's past actions paint a disturbing picture, with his ex-girlfriend alleging incidents of harassment and abuse. This news comes on the heels of Strader's already controversial breakup with Tran, further tarnishing his image in Bachelor Nation.

This is not the first time a contestant's past has come under scrutiny. In 2018, Lincoln Adim's arrest for indecent assault and battery surfaced after he appeared on Becca Kufrin's season.

The incident highlights the importance of thorough background checks and the responsibility of reality TV shows to protect their contestants and viewers. As fans continue to express outrage, it remains to be seen how The Bachelorette will address this latest controversy.
