One of the men competing for Joan Vasso's final rose on ChainkeenThe Golden Bachelorette was accused of stalking a woman just before filming on the dating show began.
The accuser, who is 62 and lives in California, made the allegations in a temporary domestic violence restraining order she filed against contestant Gil Ramirez, 60, June 11, a few days before the inaugural season of ABC's Golden Bachelor spinoff entered production.
E! News has reached out to Ramirez Sept. 18 and the TV network for comment and has not heard back.
In her filing, obtained by E! News Sept. 20, the woman alleged that Ramirez, whom she described as her "ex-boyfriend," harassed her emotionally repeatedly over the course of two weeks, most recently May 20.
She wrote in her TRO request that despite telling Ramirez not to contact her, he arrived at her house and "made repeated unwanted contact" with her, family members and friends. The woman also alleged that there were 25 daily attempts via phone, texts and email and that he also showed up in person to confront her at places she frequents every day.
The woman added that no injuries resulted from the alleged encounters with Ramirez.
A judge granted her the TRO, which prohibited Ramirez from contacting the woman or coming within 100 yards of her, her home, her workplace, her vehicle and her children’s school, on the day of her filing.
The order was reissued in early July but the case was dismissed later that month due to lack of prosecution, court records show.
A source close to the Golden Bachelorette told E! News that the production was "recently made" aware of the TRO filed against Ramirez.
"This filing occurred in the brief period between completion of our thorough background investigation and exhaustive vetting process, and the beginning of production," the source said. "As a result of this newly confirmed information, we have further edited his already limited screen time and minimized him in promotional assets moving forward."
Described in his official Golden Bachelorette bio as an educator and father of two from Mission Viejo, Calif., Ramirez made it past the first round of eliminations on the season premiere, which aired Sept. 18.
The news of the restraining order against him comes just days after news of The Bachelorette season 21 winner Devin Strader's 2017 arrest and restraining order stemming from a burglary into an ex’s apartment.
While a source close to The Bachelorette told E! News the 28-year-old’s legal history was not uncovered in the background investigation, Strader maintained in a statement posted to Instagram that the allegations were “misconstrued."
He added that he and the ex, his college girlfriend, later reconciled and "eventually ended the relationship on good terms."
