Reality personality Chad Johnson’s ex girlfriend Annalise Mishler is hitting back at the Bachelorette alum for accusing her of infidelity and trying to ruin his life.
The YouTuber, 25, defended herself against Johnson, who followed up his recent domestic violence arrest and subsequent hospitalization by bashing his ex online, during a quick chat with TMZ Tuesday.
Annalise said she wouldn’t stand for Johnson’s lies, telling the site he needs to take responsibility for his actions while seen out for the first time since Chad’s arrest.

Mishler seemed to be keeping her chin up amid the trying circumstances, smiling as she fetched a coffee at Starbucks wearing ripped jeans and a tank top with firey red boots.
But it’s been tough for Annalise, who said the situation was ‘one of the hardest things to go through.’
‘I haven’t slept much. It’s been really difficult. I don’t know how to describe how I feel, it’s just one of the hardest things to go through,’ she told the site.
She went on to say Chad was trying to ‘ruin her life’ by accusing her of cheating and lying.
‘I know I didn’t [try to ruin his life] and I think it’s pretty clear that I didn’t,’ Annalise explained.

She urged Chad to be accountable for his actions, saying: ‘I think he did things that affected his life, I wouldn’t say it’s ruined, even though he did those things. You can’t put that on another person.’
Mishler had serious advice for any women thinking about dating Chad and anyone else displaying warning signs, saying: ‘Anyone who’s dating someone and they start to see red flags, get out sooner rather than later. And it’s just gonna escalate.’
Back on February 24, Chad was arrested for domestic violence and robbery after an altercation at Annalise’s apartment. The robbery charge appears to stem from him taking her phone as she tried to call 911.

Mishler called 911 after the heated argument from the night before continued to escalate. Upon their arrival authorities found fist-shaped holes in the wall and red marks on her face, enough to arrest him for felony domestic violence.
Chad was initially contrite after his release, sharing a Instagram video where he apologized for his behavior but denied ever laying a hand on his ex.
Days later, however, the reality bad boy took to social media to share some disturbing images of a rope with the caption ‘It’ll be okay,’ resulting in a welfare check from police.
Though initially not deemed a threat to himself, he was hospitalized for evaluation less than a day later after continuing his upsetting posts, many of which seemed to he aimed at Mishler.

‘You timed this entire thing. You started posting dancing videos. You started marketing your nudes. You did all of this thinking it would help you get recognition. All you had to do was hug me. You destroyed my life and it didn’t even workout for you,’ he posted.
Upon his release he continued to lash out at his ex, sharing a 16-minute YouTube video titled ‘I found out the truth about Annalise mishler.’
In the video he accused Mishler of using dating apps throughout the duration of their six-month relationship – a claim she also made about him.
‘I found out some information about the girl that I was dating for six months and it just broke my heart,’ he said in a video from Monday. ‘The whole time we were dating, it was like something was off. She would disappear at night.’

He also accused her of trying to capitalize on his reality notoriety, saying she ‘gaslit’ him for their entire relationship.
‘To be gaslit every single day for six months, to the point where you think you’re insane … it caused me to go crazy. I lost myself a few times,’ Chad went on. ‘I couldn’t figure out why she was with me because it seemed like she hated me. But I was just so lonely. … I just thought, “Stick it out. It’ll get better.”‘
Annalise responded via her favorite platform, posting an hour long rebuttal where she accused her ex of waging a ‘bizarre smear campaign.’
‘I have no desire to ruin lives or talk s*** about someone i loved a lot,’ the post was captioned. ‘I care about people and i care about things other than myself.’
In the video she also revealed that she had a temporary restraining order against her ex, which she plans to have extended.

This isn’t the first time Chad’s violent temper has gotten him into trouble.
The reality star first appeared on JoJo Fletcher’s season of The Bachelorette in 2016 where he was portrayed as the villain and earned the nickname Bad Chad.
He was invited back to Bachelor In Paradise the same year but was given the boot after he got drunk and slung violent threats at fellow cast members.
Before hooking up with Annalise, Johnson was rumored to have had a relationship with former Playboy pinup Kendra Wilkinson.
