The backlash against bad-guy "Bachlorette" contestant Bentley Williams has spread to the Draper business that he co-owns.
In an interview with the Hollywood Life gossip site, Alyson Adams, manager of Draper's Airborne Trampoline Arena, reports that the business has lost customers - and received screaming voicemail messages and a few email death threats - because of how Williams dumped "Bachelorette" Ashley Hebert on Monday night's show.
"We have received hundreds of emails and phone calls with obscene profanities telling us how they hope our business fails," Adams told Hollywood Life. "We've had people call and cuss me out and send death threat emails actually."
Williams "has a partnership" in the business, Adams said, but "he's very rarely in the actual facility."
Williams became America's most-hated man after cruelly dumping Hebert - who had fallen hard for him. He also lied to her, strung her along by saying there might be a chance to continue the relationship, and he badmouthed her when she wasn't around.
