‘Bachelor in Paradise’ villain Chad Johnson said that he and Corinne Olympios talk, and it all started by him direct messaging her on Twitter.

In a Facebook livestream with Extra, Chad Johnson chatted about many things, including his conversations with Bachelor ‘villain’ Corinne Olympios.

During his interview he said that he texts her, but when asked, he admitted that they started talking because he “slid into her DMs.”

He said during the livestream that they talk about her being the ‘villain’ and how he was perceived the same way during his time on the show. Johnson said she was dealing with being the villain fine in the beginning.

“After a couple weeks it got to her. She hit me up,” he told Extra. Using his experience on the show, Johnson gave Olympios some advice on how to deal with the hate.

Since we know Johnson is going to be on season four of Bachelor in Paradise he was asked what potential he sees with Olympios, if she’s on the show too. Both being labelled as villains, many people have said that they would be a good match.

“I’m not actually a villain in real life. I don’t want to be with an actual villain,” Johnson said.

Obviously he isn’t as bad of a guy as he’s made out to be on the show.

As for Johnson’s attraction to Olympios, he likes what he sees. “Yeah she’s cute, for sure,” he said.

Johnson said he was going to try to behave this season, but also said, “If I have to steal a girl, I’ll steal a girl.”

Hopefully he can keep his cool, and make it longer than he did during season three.
