During a recent interview, Alex -- who is still on the show and in the running for JoJo's heart -- discussed whether he believes Chad was villainized based on the reality show's editing.

The Bachelorette promos are always very dramatic, but they made it seem like James Taylor's bloody head and Evan Bass' bloody nose were because of Chad. Do you think that's funny or a little over the top?
Alex Woytkiw: Okay, as far as the promos and stuff, I'd get a kick out of it because, you know, there is truth to all that stuff. It's just obviously, as you guys saw, it was kind of alluding to [Chad]. Did Chad push Evan and rip his shirt?
Yes, I was there, he did that. Did Evan get a bloody nose jumping into the pool or whatever? Yes, that happened. And yes, James T got his eyes split open, but it's just funny because it's true but it's not true. And I think it's just a good way to present it.
Was Chad villainized a bit due to the editing?
Alex Woytkiw: Chad being villainized? No, I don't think he was villainized; I think he was truly villainous. And, villain is something he's being dubbed because it's a reality TV show. Well, what Chad was, he's just a bad guy, right?
And, that was real. The show didn't have to do anything. They don't have to edit him anyway. You could just show his raw content and people would have the same opinion about him. He was just a bad guy.
Were there moments when you guys thought the producers or staff from the show might jump in and stop the situation with Chad? The time he threatened Jordan Rodgers, for example, was extreme.
Alex Woytkiw: You know, I think a lot of us, we -- I never thought that the producers were going to have to jump in. I think that at the end of the day, there's a huge group of guys that didn't like the guy, and if he would have attacked them, we would all have each other's backs.
And I think for me -- after I think it was the first episode or second episode -- when I told him, you know, just to stop cutting people off, he pretty much put his finger like an inch away from my face and was telling me he was going knock out my teeth.

They're going to let things roll and let everything fall into place that they will. And, if they get too out of control, then maybe they'll jump in."
But, I mean, you pretty much have someone saying he's going to punch me in the face and knock out my teeth, and no one came over and stopped that. And so, at that point, you're just like, "Yes, this is real. This is not some production, this is really happening."
If and when Chad appears at the Men Tell All, do you think he'll have any accountability or do you think he'll be regretful of anything that's happened? Or do you think he just doesn't care?
Alex Woytkiw: No, I think he doesn't care. And I say that because of past experience. I think that he had multiple, you know, opportunities during everything with the guys to kind of own up to some of his behavior.
And, he on a regular basis, said that he doesn't care, that he will never change any of what he is doing and that he's all good and, you know, doesn't regret any of it. So, I don't think he will go on the show and own any of it.
He thinks that he's right and, you know, it's just funny when someone that's threatening everyone around feels compelled to play the victim, when anyone that was there -- anyone that really watches and sees and listens to the content -- it's clear that he's a victim. He was the bully, or he tried to be the bully, and he just called out. And, it didn't really go to plan for him.
