Chad Johnson - Bachelorette 12 - *Sleuthing - Spoilers*

In the new preview from city tv, he pushes Evan and says he's gonna die/gonna kill him (something like that, I don't remember the exact wording.) and then Chris says the guys are scared for their lives..

I would think if violence were a serious issue, he would be dismissed from the show. 
 Reality cast have been dismissed on other reality shows for violence and threats of violence. 
This show has dismissed cast for other reasons, imo, less serious than a real threat of violence. 
So to me this is either the regular "woe is me" drama once again or tptb are being grossly remiss in keeping a powder keg around.

Just sounds scripted to me. Someone told to play a role, not realising that producers are playing with him and will make things look way worse than anything that actually happened. Sucks to be you fella! Batten down the hatches for the backlash you are about to receive.

IA Sprite, that's how I looked at it, and didn't think anything of it.

Anyone stupid enough to 'act' a role of a violent douche deserves to get all the backlash they receive. Threats and pushing other people? Even if it was an act, I'd take it seriously if I was at the receiving end. How do the producers even know if it's an act?

Umm, JoJo seems like she got closed to a few guys physically the first night... Interesting

On other major network reality tv shows when a cast person threatens violence there is no messing around. They are removed.

Which makes me wonder why they did not do the same - if the reported "threats" really happened. Or were not a producer gimmick.
