In 2017, Strader, 28, was arrested after allegedly robbing an ex-girlfriend’s home in Louisiana. According to a March 2017 affidavit filed by Weekly entertainmenthis ex also filed a restraining order against him. (Reality Steve was first to report the news.)

After she left, the ex allegedly found a burglarized house. She also claimed that a diamond necklace Strader had given her during their relationship was allegedly missing.
The woman also told police that Strader had “come to her house several times, banging on the door and yelling at her.” She had since filed for a restraining order against him.

A source close to the production tells We weekly“We take the safety of our participants very seriously and make every effort to screen them carefully. As extensive as our screening process is, this protective order did not come up in our research.”
Us asked Strader for a comment.
After the end of Strader The Bachelorette Season 21, she announced during the live finale earlier this month that he had called off their engagement. Tran claimed that Strader said he “regretted” the engagement and was “checked out.”
Days later, Strader released a 13-minute video explaining his side of the story, along with hundreds of text messages between him and Tran. Strader apologized hours later for sharing “sensitive information.”
