'Golden Bachelorette' Contestant Guy Gansert Speaks Out After Past Restraining Order Details Are Revealed

Guy Gansert is speaking out in response to news that his ex-wife Heidi has filed for a restraining order against him.

October 2021 court documents were uncovered by The U.S. Sun, showing that Guy was accused of domestic violence, though Heidi ultimately dismissed the filing.

Guy is one of the frontrunners on Joan‘s season of The Golden Bachelorette and he was actually initially reported as the winner in spoiler reports, though that was changed.

Guy took to his Instagram page on Thursday (October 10) to release a lengthy statement in response to the restraining order report.

“I would like to respond to articles about a personal matter from 2021. This was an unfortunate situation that occurred during an incredibly stressful time for me and my former spouse and was ultimately resolved when she voluntarily dismissed her request for a protective order. Together, we crafted a resolution that was agreeable to both parties. My ex-wife and I recently asked the court to seal her application for the protective order as we had hoped to maintain privacy for our family. But, I know that being in the public eye comes responsibility,” he said.

Guy continued, “My ex-wife and I were married for 34 years and in that time we had four children, who we raised together and deeply love. They are my greatest accomplishment. My divorce was extremely difficult for me and led me to a very low point in my life and as a result I acted in a way that does not represent who I am. The past few years have caused me to conduct a deep personal evaluation, and I will always continue to work to improve myself.”

“I am so appreciative of The Golden Bachelorette and Bachelor Nation, as well as my family, who have been exceptionally supportive during the most difficult times of my life. I am eternally grateful for them,” she said.
