Victoria Fuller isn’t the only controversial member of Bachelor Nation.
From Amanda Stanton to Chris Soules, some of the biggest “Bachelor” names have found themselves on the wrong side of the law — scoring a mugshot instead of a rose.

Chad Johnson
Chad Johnson FilmMagic Known as the villain from JoJo Fletcher’s season of “The Bachelorette” in 2016, JohnsonĀ was arrested in late February for robbery and domestic violence after girlfriend Annalise Mishler phoned the authorities, TMZ previously reported. She claimed 32-year-old Johnson got physical, grabbing her phone as she tried to get help.
Last week, Johnson spoke out about the arrest in an Instagram video.
“I was taken to jail for that and while she was talking to [the police], she told them about how I had thrown her phone, so that was the robbery issue,” Johnson said. “Now, there was never any domestic abuse of any kind. I have never laid hands on a woman any time in my entire life.”
Johnson, who also appeared on Season 3 of “Bachelor in Paradise,” was hospitalized and released over the weekend.
