In the summer of 2016, Johnson joined The Bachelor spin-off show, Bachelor in Paradise. The show follows former Bachelor and Bachelorette contestants living together and finding love in Mexico. He was ejected by host Chris Harrison during the first episode for belligerent behavior.[4]

2020 arrest and pornographic career

On the afternoon of February 24, 2020, Johnson was arrested for robbery with domestic violence enhancement charges.[8] The arrest stemmed from an incident with his girlfriend Annalise Mishler, who alleged that Johnson had assaulted her.[9] Mishler also alleged that Johnson had punched a hole in a wall.[9]
