Bachelorette villain Chad Johnson sues producer he claims retracted movie offers when he refused to sleep with her
Chad Johnson is suing a female movie producer for assault, fraud and emotional distress.
The former Bachelorette villain says he was promised movie roles by a woman named Cristina Cimino who works with Sunset Studios.
TMZ reports that Cimino reached out to the burly reality star in March via Instagram and told him she could help with his burgeoning acting career and land him movie roles.

Johnson claims he was lured into several in-person meetings, phone calls and thousands of texts which allegedly became more sexual and provocative over time.
The 30-year-old says he wanted to keep things professional and made it clear to Cimino that he wasn't interested in a sexual relationship.
Johnson says Cimino initially obliged and offered him two movie roles for $11 million.
The Bachelor In Paradise hunk accuses Cimino of concocting the scheme to 'exert control over' him and says that once he insisted he didn't want a romantic relationship with the producer she pulled the movie roles.

Johnson claims he has racy text messages from the movie exec including one that read 'Hey wanna come over later? Clothing is optional, nakedness is preferable'.
The Oklahoma-born star says she later claimed that the text was not meant for him.
Johnson also denies kissing the producer as he explains in the legal papers that Cimino texted him once claiming that they made out and he grabbed her butt.
He says this isn't true and claims she was the aggressor and assaulted him.
