JoJo Fletcher is speaking out about Lincoln Adim’s casting scandal.

Last month, Us Weekly confirmed that Becca Kufrin’s former Bachelorette contestant was convicted of sexual assault before the season premiered.

Relive the Most Intense ‘Bachelor’ and ‘Bachelorette’ Scandals of All Time

“How did that slip through the cracks is my question,” Fletcher, 27, exclusively told Us Weekly on Monday, July 23, at the Stacy’s Cheese Petites launch party in Beverly Hills. “[It’s] just an unfortunate situation and you just wonder how that happened, you know? Obviously I don’t know how that happened. But I was shocked by it, I can tell you that, because there is an extensive background check and it seems like they are able to dig up anything and everything that you don’t want getting out but it gets out there.”

She added: “So it kind of shocked me and disappointed me that that wasn’t addressed before he was casted.”

The Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office told Us in June that Adim, 26, “was found guilty on May 21 of indecent assault and battery for groping and assaulting an adult female on a harbor cruise ship early on May 30, 2016. He was sentenced to one year in a house of correction, with that term suspended for a two-year probationary period.”

The Nigerian native was ordered by a judge to “stay away from the victim and attend three Alcoholics Anonymous meetings per week during those two years.”

Although Adim has yet to publicly address the ordeal, Warner Bros. told Us in June that “no one on The Bachelorette production had any knowledge about the incident or charges when [he] was cat, and he himself denied ever having engaged in or having been charged with any sexual misconduct.”

Kufrin, 28, also spoke out about the casting while speaking to Us at her season’s “Men Tell All” taping in Los Angeles on Friday, July 20. “It’s of course unexpected and I had no idea on the show,” she revealed.

Red Carpet Date! Sophia Bush and Grant Hughes Attend WHCA Dinner

Finding The One! Sophia Bush has kept her romance with Grant Hughes relatively private since the pair were first spotted together in Malibu in May 2020. However, the FocusMotion Health founder has shared a few photos of the couple. Ever since landing the role of Brooke Davis on One Tree Hill in 2003, Bush’s personal life has made headlines. That is something that the actress and activist has intentionally changed, she explained in June 2021. “It’s hard to have nothing that’s yours. And when you are a person who lives in the public eye, everybody wants to pick over everything and that can be really tricky,” the False Positive actress told Entertainment Tonight at the time. “I also grew up in the early aughts when girls were raked over the coals for any choices that they made. And I just was like, ‘I don’t think I like this.’ I didn’t like having my private life lied about. There were times where someone would send through an article and be like, ‘Well, supposedly you’re dating t...
