Naw! It's all in the name of ratings love!
If you tuned into the premire of The Bachelor last night, and we know you did, then you probably caught this particular scene when one of the girls delivered a hard and swift message to Brad's face.
Chantal O'Brien made quite the first impression with former/current Bachelor Brad Womack as she slapped him across the face on behalf of scorned ladies everywhere.
Naturally, Brad would have the right to be pissed (violence is never the way to make a statement) and he could even press criminal charges against her (think Teen Mom's Amber Portwood), but according to the Bachelor himself, he "deserved" it. He told sources:
"I think Chantal was just trying to make a statement about my past behavior and make a strong first impression, which she did. I think what Chantal did was a light-hearted gesture which I took as such. I do not condone violence in any relationship, nor would I keep someone around who I felt truly wished to do me harm."
That's good to hear, at least. Sounds like he has his priorities straight this time around.
Did U watch the premiere last night? What did U think?
Oh, we should add that as much as we think Brad is great, we still think we're a much seksier Bachelor than him! Ha!
