'The Bachelorette' season 12 recap: Chad Johnson sparks tension in 'Men Tell All' special

The "Men Tell All" special for the 12th season of "The Bachelorette” was aired on July 26. The contestants who were eliminated returned to meet Jojo and the top two contenders, including “villain” Chad Johnson. The episode was a part of the two-night special of the hit US reality television series.

“JoJo and 18 of the most memorable men from the season return to discuss their experiences, including the controversial Chad,” a synopsis from American channel ABC reads. Outtakes and bloopers were also shown in the special, as well as a preview of “The Bachelor in Paradise 3.”

Chad was one of the highlights of the episode. The 28-year-old real estate agent has been known for his unpleasant reputation among the other contestants. Each of the men took the opportunity to confront him since the time he was eliminated on the fourth week. As for Chad, he went on with what he did best as the villain of the 12th season. He criticised and spoke ill of the other contestants, including Jordan Rodgers and Robby Hayes, who are both in the top two spots.

“Everyone else knows that Robby broke up with his girlfriend days before filming in order to be on the show with you,” Chad told Jojo. “And we both know that Jordan is a liar, cheater, whose own older brother won’t talk to him.”

“The Bachelorette” star was angered by his words.

Aside from sparking tension in the “Men Tell All” special, Chad posted a photo of himself with fellow contestant Grant Kemp’s ex-girlfriend.

Chad was reported to have approached People and told them the truth behind his personality, claiming that most viewers have misunderstood him. In the interview, Chad said they commented that he was “cocky,” “arrogant,” and that he will “never find somebody to fall in love with.”

"My cockiness and arrogance is just a fun side,” he explained. “I know how to pump the brakes and say 'Hey, I'm joking.' "

The finale of “The Bachelorette” will be aired on Aug. 1 in ABC in America and 9Life in Australia.
