'The Bachelorette' star JoJo Fletcher on Chad Johnson violence: "I couldn't believe what I was seeing!"

The Bachelorette star JoJo Fletcher has weighed-in on bachelor Chad Johnson's behavior after viewing unflattering previews of the upcoming season. 


"Yesterday was the first time that I saw that teaser, and I couldn't believe what I was seeing!" Fletcher told E! News of a clip that shows Johnson threatening to knock Alex Woytkiw's teeth out during an altercation that will be shown on The Bachelorette's upcoming second episode.

"Because I don't get to see these guys when they're just by themselves. I only see them when I'm on dates with them."

The teaser features Woytkiw, a 26-year-old U.S. Marine from Oceanside, CA, confronting Johnson, a 28-year-old luxury real estate agent from Tulsa, OK, about "lurking" and "snaking" around when Fletcher was trying to have private conversations with other suitors. Woytkiw accuses Johnson of also cutting off Evan Bass' time with the Bachelorette.

An infuriated Johnson replies to Woytkiw, "F-ck you for real!"


The Marine isn't phased at all by the outburst, which prompts Johnson to then come back at him even harder.

"Keep that up, you're going to lose your damn teeth!" Johnson yelled while pointing his finger.

Woytkiw claims he's not scared in the video clip, but Johnson threatens that he "should be." Still, Woytkiw doesn't back down and calls Johnson the "most disrespectful dude in the entire house."

As shown in the trailer that aired following The Bachelorette's debut episode earlier this week, Johnson loses his cool and threatens the other bachelors' lives and safety. He apparently punches someone in the face, and host Chris Harrison is forced to step in due to the unacceptable violence.

"There's a lot of drama, there's a lot that happens, there's blood, there's tears," Fletcher admitted to E! News. "There's some intense moments and I think, you know, people are going to have to make their own opinion about Chad. Because it's definitely, certainly, an interesting situation there."


The next The Bachelorette episode airs Monday, May 30 from 8-10PM ET/PT on ABC.
