As the contestants of Season 19 begin to act more and more abnormal, fans of ABC's Bachelor have been taking them to task on social media for what they viewed as a less than honest representation of themselves on reality television, but word has it that Chris Soules hasn't exactly been forth coming with his secret past either. According to the latest gossip news updates, the 2015 franchise lead may pretend to be Mr. Niceguy on the TV show, but he is doing his best to keep the ladies from finding out about his many run-ins with the law -- like his 2005 arrest for DUI -- for as long as humanly possible.
Chris Soules may be good at portraying a squeaky clean Iowa farm boy image on The Bachelor this year, but behind-the-scenes Prince Farming may be as much a bad boy and his is farm boy.
According to the February 16, issue of Life & Style Magazine, Soules has been in enough trouble with the law that his many suitors would definitely find some of it noteworthy:
"Chris, 33, has had a shocking 20 run-ins with the law.
"They range from a DUI (in 2005; he was sentenced to 60 days in jail, which was suspended after he completed a 48-hour program at a community college) to disorderly conduct for fighting (in 2002; he completed 10 hours of community service) to hit-and-run (also in 2002; he paid a fine)."
Although Chris Soules definitely does go out of his way to give off a down-home-country vibe, the Season 19 Bachelor certainly isn't billing himself as the perfect catch.
In a recent interview with Us Weekly, Soules didn't mention any arrests, but he did admit that he has a long way to go when it comes to being a perfect 10 kind of boyfriend (via Reality TV World):
"A solid 7.5. I try to be a 10, but it'd be dishonest if I said I was actually a 10."
Say what you want to about Juan Pablo Galavis, but at least he was a Bachelor who knew right from wrong.
