About a week after the news that Devin Strader, the winner of the 21st season of “Bachelorette,” had an ex-girlfriend obtaining a restraining order against him, reports surfaced that a contestant on “The Golden Bachelorette” had also been granted a restraining order.

“The Golden Bachelorette” premiered on September 18, and lead actress Joan Vassos met her 24 potential suitors. Among them was Gil Ramirez, a 60-year-old educator from Mission Viejo, California.

In his cast bio, released before the season aired and still available on ABC’s website, Ramirez is described as “the perfect combination of romantic, sweet and emotional.”

But after the premiere, details about Ramirez’s past relationship began to circulate. TODAY.com has obtained a request for a temporary restraining order against Ramirez filed on June 11 by a woman who claimed she was his former partner.

The ex justified the need for a temporary restraining order with “emotional harassment”.

She wrote: “Despite me telling him not to contact me and to come to my home, he has repeatedly made unwanted contact with me, family members and friends.”

Ramirez’s ex provided further details, adding that there were “25 attempts per day via phone, text and video. Even though he lives an hour away, he showed up daily at places I frequent to confront me.”

She also said at the time that the alleged harassment had continued “over a period of two weeks.”

Documents obtained by TODAY.com show the restraining order was lifted at a July 24 hearing due to “lack of prosecution.”

A source close to the production told TODAY.com that the production learned of the complaint against Ramirez a few days before filming for “The Golden Bachelorette” began.

The source states that the filing was made after the background investigation and vetting process for the candidates had already been completed.

The source confirms that Ramirez’s screen time will be limited in the future.

Reports of Ramirez’s restraining order come as “The Bachelor” franchise is embroiled in controversy. On Sept. 16, Reality Steve — a Bachelor Nation staple who has covered the franchise for years — revealed that Strader, who was briefly engaged to “Bachelorette” star Jenn Tran, had an allegedly abusive relationship with his ex.

TODAY.com obtained copies of Strader’s ex-girlfriend’s motion for a restraining order against him, which was filed in 2017.

In her petition for protection from abuse, she claimed that Strader broke into her home and “ransacked” her room, in another instance “pushed” her repeatedly and put her in a chokehold and covered her mouth. The ex also said in the filing that Strader allegedly spit on her and threw a drink at her during a New Orleans Pelicans game.

A few days later, Strader responded to the allegations in a statement shared on his Instagram story.

“Recently, challenges from a low point in my past have been brought up and greatly misunderstood,” he said, among other things. “The allegations are simply not true, as I have never inappropriately laid a hand on another person or treated my ex-girlfriend in any of the ways that have been portrayed.”

At the end of his statement, he said he had “made mistakes” and was “not perfect.”

Strader did not respond to TODAY.com’s request for comment at the time.
