Bizarre battery talk flies around slap on The Bachelor – Denver Art – Show and Tell
Brad Womack
If anyone is in need of further proof that we live in strange and
litigious times, then they need look no further than the gossip that’s
arisen around the first episode of ABC’s The Bachelor, which
aired yesterday. A slap in the face delivered by contestant Chantal
O’Brien to bachelor Brad Womack sparked talk of battery charges for
O’Brien — in spite of Womack’s insistence that he would not file them
— thus proving that our dumb world has completely lost its mind.
In a continuing saga that started this morning, a TMZ reporter asked Womack if he’ll consider pressing charges,
to which he gave a firm “no,” explaining that he thought he “deserved
it” — if you’ll recall, in 2007, Womack became the first bachelor in
the show’s history to reject every contestant; O’Brien gave his
rejection record as the reason for the slap. Nevertheless, TMZ wondered
what the difference was between that slap and the case of Amber
Portwood, who was recently charged with felony domestic battery and
child neglect for repeatedly striking her babydaddy on episodes of MTV’s
Teen Mom, during which their one-year-old daughter was present.
Here’s the promo video for the show, by the way:
