"The Bachelorette" alum Chad Johnson is officially part of the cast of the new "Bachelor in Paradise." Series creator Mike Fleiss, himself, confirmed that the former "The Bachelorette" villain has agreed to come on board.
On Twitter, Fleiss posted that Johnson is being his usual self in the latest installment of "Bachelor in Paradise."
"Chad is being Chad-ish," Fleiss tweeted, with the hashtag #BachelorInParadise.
Fleiss confirmed the casting days after "The Bachelorette" 2016 JoJo Fletcher sent Johnson home in last Tuesday's, June 7, episode. While much can be said about Johnson, Josh Murray, another "The Bachelorette" alum told People that his heart goes out for Johnson.
Murray speculated that Johnson has been bullied by his housemates, which makes him feel even more uncomfortable. The reality star added that viewers may have been quick to judge Johnson. With the passing of his mother, Murray pointed out that Johnson had a lot of things on his plate and perhaps no one truly understood what he was going through.
"There's a lot of other things I'm sure that are going on in his life that people need to empathize with him about," Murray said.
He, however, quickly added that he was not putting the blame on anyone. He explained that he just wanted people to be more compassionate to those who are put in a tough situation. "The Bachelorette" alum added that there always those who will judge others no matter what.
His advice? Just continue to live your life and stop paying too much attention on what others think of you. He held that constant worrying will get you nowhere in life.
"You can be a saint, the best person in the world and do the best things and just be a great overall person, and there's always going to be people who hate you or don't like you for some reason. And that's okay, you don't live life based on worrying about what other people are thinking all of the time or else you're not living life."
"The Bachelorette" 2016 airs Mondays on ABC. Tune in for more spoilers and cast updates.
