It was announced by People on Sept. 20, 2024 that contestant Gil Ramirez, who received a rose in the first season premiere, had a temporary restraining order filed against him three months before by an ex-girlfriend. In a June court filing, the ex-girlfriend accused Ramirez of stalking and harassment, claiming he made "25 attempts daily via phone, texts, video" to contact her and "showed up at places I frequent to confront me on a daily basis." The temporary restraining order was granted and then extended before being dropped when the case was dismissed. Even though the case was dismissed, producers of the Golden Bachelorette said they will reduce Ramirez's screen time.
