'Bachelorette' Winner Was Arrested, Had Restraining Order From Ex

Details in the restraining order were sealed when 'Bachelorette' producers were conducting their background checks, a production source tells THR.

Prior to joining the cast of ABC ‘s The Bachelorette — and ultimately winning the final rose and being briefly engaged to lead Jenn Tran — Devin Strader was arrested and had a restraining order filed against him. In the affidavit prepared by the Baton Rouge Police Department and filed in 2017 by the unnamed ex-girlfriend, the woman alleged that after a trip out of town, she returned to find her home burglarized with many of her personal items broken and/or thrown on the floor. She alleged that Strader once “put me in a choke hold covering my mouth” and “spit on me and threw his drink on me at [a] Pelicans game in front of everyone in the stands.” And after she awoke to bruises on her “knees, elbow, stomach, arms” and a “pounding” head, she claims he said he almost “killed” her and didn’t “want to talk about it.”
