This Golden Bachelor Season 2 Contestant Is Most Likely A Producer Plant

Mel, a 66-year-old NFL player-turned-lawyer from Detroit, Michigan, upset some of the women during the first pool party when he kissed Nicolle in the pool in front of everyone. After that, he chose her to have a one-on-one dinner after the comedy roast group date.

Throughout The Golden Bachelor season 2, Nicolle has been building a strong connection with Mel, but her recent behavior has cast her as the villain of the season. In fact, her actions have been so blatantly disrespectful that it appears that she's not genuinely there to find love with Mel, and she might instead be a producer plant.

Nicolle Was Very Vocal About Her Ambitions For After The Golden Bachelor

Nicolle Wants To Be An Influencer

During The Golden Bachelor season 2 episode 4, Nicolle revealed to the other women that she wants to be an influencer. She explained that she didn't feel that she was dating Mel, but rather dating America, because the show would give them all exposure like they'd never had. Nicolle also told them that they'd have

Housewife status after the show ended.

During the group date, contestant Robin Rocha tried to warn Mel that some people might not be there for the right reasons, but Mel told her that he thought that everyone was being genuine. Nicolle's outrageous comments aren't new for the

Bachelor franchise, as many past contestants have been accused of using the show as a stepping stone to become influencers. However, her insult to the season 1 cast took her villain status to another level.

Nicolle's comments were so over-the-top and mean that she seemed to have only been cast on the show to create drama. The Golden Bachelor season 1 didn't have any conflict among the women who became great friends, except for Kathy Swarts telling Theresa Nist to

"Zip it" about her relationship with Gerry Turner, so it's possible that the producers wanted to bring some chaos to the series and found Nicolle to do it.

Nicolle Took Credit For The Lemon Bars That The Other Women Made For Mel

Nicolle Didn't Care About Her Fellow Contestants & Created More Drama

As if Nicolle's aspiration to be an influencer weren't enough, she then did something completely bizarre during the episode 4 tailgate party. The women decided to make lemon bars for Mel because he'd told them that he loved lemon desserts. The women all pitched in to bake for him, but Nicolle eventually slipped outside to relax in the jacuzzi while they worked.

Nicolle has been causing problems throughout The Golden Bachelor season 2 so far, with her public displays of affection with Mel and her strange behavior. She's looking more and more like a producer plant. Every season there seems to be one contestant who stands out from the rest of the cast because of their villain demeanor, and Nicolle is that person in Mel's season. Hopefully,

The Golden Bachelor star will realize that Nicolle's intentions aren't genuine before it's too late.

#Breaking: Denise Richards Clings to Two Men Leaving Court After Ex Aaron Phypers Claims She “Bruises Easily”

Denise Richards held on to two men as she exited court in Los Angeles on Wednesday.

Denise took hold of the people around her, locking arms with a friend and a bodyguard following the day's legal proceedings.

The 54-year-old actress — who is facing a contentious divorce battle with Aaron Phypers — was clad in a beige trench coat with double-breasted gold buttons and a matching belt cinched at her waist.

Her blonde-highlighted tresses were styled in a side part and neatly pulled back while she obscured her big blue eyes with large black sunglasses.

And the mom-of-three stepped out in a pair of open-toe high-heeled sandals with Perspex straps.

It comes after she claimed in court this week that her estranged husband Aaron, 53, gave her concussions and that her previous marriage to Charlie Sheen was better.

Aaron also said that Richards 'bruises easily' after she shared a photo with a black eye.

Denise Richards held on to two men as she exited court in Los Angeles on Wednesday. Denise took hold of the people around her, locking arms with a friend and a bodyguard following the day's legal proceedings

The former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star shared details about the alleged abuse she suffered at the hands of her ex on Tuesday.

During a hearing regarding a temporary restraining order she was granted against Aaron in July — which she wants to make permanent — she claimed that Aaron 'caused me at least three concussions,' People reported.

During an incident the actress said happened at a Chicago hotel in April 2025, her spouse 'was squeezing my head so hard' that it 'felt like he was crushing my skull.'

She also claimed her tumultuous marriage to Charlie, 60, was better because proverbially, 'he never hit below the belt.'

The entertainer was granted a temporary restraining order on July 16, days after Aaron filed for divorce.

A source close to him later claimed that the Wild Things actress and her legal team are 'spewing fiction' and that he is 'planning on emerging victorious on this domestic violence protection order.'

During the hearing a video Denise recorded in August was shown by Aaron's attorneys, according to People.

In the clip she compared their six-year marriage to her previous union with Charlie, to whom she was married from 2002 to 2005 and with whom she shares daughters Sami, 21, and Lola, 20.

'Things were bad with Charlie and I, but he never hit below the belt,' she said.

In addition to her daughters with Charlie, Denise is also mother to adopted daughter Eloise, 14.

Aaron alleged that he discovered Denise having a months-long affair with a former special forces soldier named Rudy Reyes at the end of their relationship

He claimed in a detailed letter to 'family and close friends' that Rudy had showered her with X-rated photos and videos, including a graphic clip that showed him naked and pleasuring himself.

In an exclusive interview with DailyMail.com, he claimed he caught wind of his wife's alleged affair in April.

He said she'd promised to break it off, only for him to catch her lying about another hook-up with Rudy that took place at a Hilton Garden Inn in Burbank, California the following month.

He claimed his discovery of the May tryst led to an explosive argument over the July 4th holiday weekend, during which she smashed his phone.

After Aaron filed divorce paperwork on July 7, Denise hit back a week later with a request for a temporary restraining order that

included a laundry list of domestic abuse allegations — all of which her husband denies.
