Devin Strader Breaks Silence On Restraining Order

Devin went on to say, “I want to apologize for the video I released following the final episode. I am not proud of that lapse in judgment.” He continued, “I am truly grateful for my time on the show, and for getting the chance to know and love Jenn. I certainly regret hurting her in any way. She is a very special person, and I wish her nothing but good things.”
In the surfaced reports, his ex even accused him of spitting on her and holding her in a chokehold while covering her mouth. In response to that Devin said, “The accusations are simply not true as I have never inappropriately laid hands on another individual or treated my ex-girlfriend in any of the ways I have been depicted. That restraining order was never granted, and fully dismissed.”
