This is an I-Heart podcast.

Guaranteed human.

Amy Robock and T.J. Holmes present.

Killer Thriller with your host, Alisa Donovan.

Hey, everyone. Elisa Donovan here, and this is killer thriller.

Okay, today we are really getting into a very, very nutso case.

Because sometimes the most dangerous stories, they are not the ones that happen in dark alleys.

They happen in boxes, courtrooms, headlines.

So today, we are stepping into a case that played out in

real time in the press, in the legal system involving former bachelor Clayton Eckhard. So what

started as just a single simple date quickly spiraled into a paternity claim, accusations of twins,

hundreds of messages and emails,

court filings, and eventually felony charges. So on the surface, it looked like just another

celebrity scandal. But underneath that, this is about reputation, manipulation, public judgment,

and what it feels like to try to prove your innocence to a world that pretty much

already assumes that you're guilty. So Clayton is here to talk about surviving that storm and about

his new podcast, Love Trapped, Owens v. Eckhart, where you can hear all of the incredible details.

Clayton, welcome to Killer Thriller. 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 probably not been asked yet. Great. Yeah, I mean, for us, this is a little bit of, it may feel like lighter fair,

but for you, it clearly is not, because this has had a massive impact on your life.
