Summary

#854. It’s been 10 years since JJ Lane showed up on The Bachelorette — fresh off a divorce, living with his parents, and unknowingly stepping into a “villain edit.” But now he’s back, with three daughters, a redemption arc, and plenty to say.

Kaitlyn and JJ talk about how he ended up on the show in the first place, why he’s never watched the season back, and how Amy Schumer roasted him so hard she kept bringing it up for years. He opens up about hitting rock bottom before filming, his surprising exit on Paradise, and how his dad saved every press clipping — even the brutal ones.

We knew him as “villains gotta vil,” but after this convo, you might just see a totally different side of JJ. Enjoy!
