Brian Chad Johnson (born August 11, 1987) is an American reality television personality. He was a contestant on The Bachelorette, Bachelor in Paradise, Famously Single and Celebrity Big Brother UK, and also appeared in the second season of MTV's Ex on the Beach. In his appearance on The Bachelorette, Johnson was regarded as meeting the archetype of a reality television "villain". Johnson was arrested in February 2020 for robbery with domestic violence enhancement charges involving his girlfriend. The arrest resulted in the cancellation of most of his TV appearances. He subsequently announced that he was starting a career in pornography. In August 2020, Johnson reached a deal with prosecutors in which he pleaded "no contest" to one count of vandalism and one count of intimidating a witness. He was sentenced to 36 months probation and domestic violence classes.
