Clayton Echard

I'm Clayton Eckerd.

In 2022, I was the lead of ABC's The Bachelor.

If I could press a button and rewind it all, I would.

The dating contract.

This is unlike anything I've ever seen before.

This is Special Agent Regal, Special Agent Bradley Hall.

Thank you for having me.

I'm actually, yeah, I'm super excited.

I've been on a couple other podcasts, but nothing in this realm, like this genre.

So I feel like you're going to, you're going to really ask all the good questions that I've probably not been asked yet.

No, not at all.

I had already actually been through one false accusation.

It was a cheating scandal, which happened in the previous year.

And I disproved that within 24 hours, thankfully due to location services on my iPhone.

This individual had claimed that I went to New York, but I never did.

My phone showed that I stayed in Arizona.

Yeah, so I was able to disprove that, but I thought that was going to be it.

I thought, okay, wow, false accusation coming off the reality of television.

I get that I wasn't really liked as a lead.

I was controversial, so I suppose maybe this is just what happens, but I figured that'd be the extent of it.
