‘Bachelorette’ Winner Devin Strader Denies Ex’s Claim of Physical Assault in Past Restraining Order: ‘Simply Not True’


Devin Strader's ex-girlfriend claimed in a 2017 restraining order he had put her in a chokehold; he now denies the allegations.

“Following my time on The Bachelorette, there have been many stories and misrepresentations put out in the media that I want to take a moment to address,” he began in a statement sent to press on Thursday. The accusations are simply not true as I have never inappropriately laid hands on another individual or treated my ex-girlfriend in any of the ways I have been depicted. Strader ended the statement with, “I know that I have made mistakes in my life and that I am not perfect, but I have continued to work every day to be someone that my family and friends would be proud of, and I am truly thankful to everyone who has been by my side.”
