Speaker 1: Tonight former Bachelor star Clayton Eckert Clayton Ecker Clayton Ecker
Speaker 1: Bachelor's Clayton Eckert.
Speaker 2: He had a brief romantic encounter with this woman.
Speaker 1: And later claimed she was pregnant with his twins.
Speaker 2: Who he says, try to destroy him. I mean, this
Speaker 2: is really an unbelievable story. Nothing get pregnant by the
Speaker 2: funning wrestler.
Speaker 1: This story starts with a very familiar scene, an at
Speaker 1: home pregnancy test.
Speaker 2: It was just her and I waiting for the results.
Speaker 1: The woman he was standing next to was essentially a stranger,
Speaker 1: someone who had reached out to him on LinkedIn. They'd
Speaker 1: only hooked up once.
Speaker 2: One line shows up right away.
Speaker 1: Many of us have been there before. Whatever result you're
Speaker 1: hoping for, the weight is excruciating.
Speaker 2: And then the second line starts coming in and I'm like, Wow,
Speaker 2: she's actually pregnant.
Speaker 1: This moment changed Clayton Eckerd's life forever, but not in
Speaker 1: the way he expected.
Speaker 2: Every time you think it couldn't get crazier, it just does.
Speaker 1: Over the next two years, he would be thrown into
Speaker 1: the spotlight again, this time becoming the center of a
Speaker 1: story that was spiraling out of his control. The media
Speaker 1: is here.
Speaker 2: You know that this case has gone viral. The dating contract,
Speaker 2: stalker ish behavior. She sent me over five hundred emails
Speaker 2: and text messages.
Speaker 1: Agree to date me, but I'm also suing you. It's
Speaker 1: just chaos. Had she not gone public, things wouldn't be
Speaker 1: where they are today, would search more. It's a story
Speaker 1: about who you believe and why you believe them. It's
Speaker 1: not about men versus women, It's about victims versus abusers.
Speaker 1: It would take a group of strangers all across the
Speaker 1: country to finally prove the truth. My bullshit meter went
Speaker 1: off right away. They found information that I don't think
Speaker 1: any private investigator could have found. The smoking gun of
Speaker 1: the entire case. Discovered life every day was a new twist.
Speaker 1: She makes up all these characters and she creates fake personas.
Speaker 1: This is unlike anything I've ever seen before. There's so
Speaker 1: much collateral damage from this story. What would come out
Speaker 1: was a whole group of victims who'd fallen into the
Speaker 1: same trap.
Speaker 2: I got a DM that said, hey, you need to
Speaker 2: look into this court case. You're not the only one bingo.
Speaker 1: This shit doesn't happen twice. I'm Stephanie Young. This is
Speaker 1: Love Trapped, and this season you'll hear from Clayton Eckerd himself.
Speaker 2: This is something that's more common than people realize. It's
Speaker 2: called getting trapped.

Speaker 1: or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm gonna ask you
Speaker 1: one final time. You were never pregnant by Clayton ecker
