Josh Murray entered Bachelor in Paradise just in the Nick of time.
On Monday, Andi Dorfman"s ex-fianc,the hunky former baseball player with teeth that would get lost in a snowstorm, caused a little bit of trouble.
Looking to "find a wife more than anything" and armed with a date card, Josh upset the palapa equilibrium when he asked Amanda Stanton out on a date. The night before she received a rose from Nick Viall, the runner-up from AndiandKaitlyn Bristowe"sseasons.
Nick wondered if Josh only asked Amanda out to torment him, and was concerned about some of the allegations Andi made in her book,It"s Not Okay: Turning Heartbreak into Happily Never After.In the memoir, released in May, Andi wrote thatJosh"often behaved like an emotional abuser."
"Quite honestly some of the stuff that is written about Josh is pretty aggressive and a little disturbing," Nick confessed to the camera."I know at least the things written about me aren"t fictional. There"s at least some accuracy to them. So, it"s hard to imagine that that"s not the case for Josh."

While sailing with Amanda, Josh admitted that dealing with his ex"s tell-all hasbeen tough.
"She had some not-so-kind things to say, and it"s very unfortunate that she would depict me in such a false way," Josh told the mother of two from Ben Higgins" season of The Bachelor."It"s like, how am I supposed to comment on these excerpts that people are sending me to a fictional story, something that"s just not true at all? It"s definitely frustrating, but it doesn"t affect me until somebody asks me about it."
Josh continued."You have to be a bigger person no matter what kind of lies or egregious things are said about you. You have to try to take the high road...Honestly, it doesn"t affect me at all. G*d knows what the truth is. Like, that"s all that matters."
In an interview, Andi told us that her revelations weren"t an attempt to drag her exes."Ididn"t want any story that was in there just to be gratuitous or just to burn someone," she said."That was not my intention." Whenwe reached out to Joshs camp for comment, wedidnt receivea reply.
To theBachelor in Paradisecameras, Josh again wrote the book off as being "a fictional story.""There"s stuff that"s so ludicrous," he said."How do you comment on something like that?"
Josh"s explanation satisfied Amanda"s curiosity.
"I thought he gave a really good answer, and I trust him. And, I can tell how genuine he is. So, it"s not really something I"m worried about," she said in an interview. "I"m just excited to see where things go from here."
We can think of someone who isn"t so excited.
See how Nick deals with this possible new coupling when Bachelor in Paradiseairs onMondays and Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.
