Bachelor contestant Demi Burnett knows how to makes waves with the other women in the house. But what is she like off camera?

Contestant and unashamed “cougar hater” Demi Burnett is simultaneously the best and worst thing to ever happen to The Bachelor. Whenever she’s on screen, it’s like watching a train wreck: you know what’s happening is awful but you just can’t look away!

So who is she? What was she doing before busting onto The Bachelor scene in her decoupage jean outfits to scoop up unearned date roses? Let’s do a deep dive into the life and times of Demi Burnett.

Model aspirations

Demi might have her career listed as “interior designer” with the show, but she’s definitely making a side hustle as a model. Her Instagram is riddled with influencer-style pics and one of the items on her bucket list is to be a Victoria’s Secret Angel.

Does she have what it takes? Her style has split many fans down the middle. Still, she definitely has the confidence.

Prison ties

Before she ever picked a fight with Tracy, Demi was making waves way back in her Bachelor intro video when she revealed that her mother was in prison. While I’m sure that the show will dive into this a bit more (how could they not??), it’s worth knowing that the reason Mama Demi was behind bars is embezzlement.

Texas roots

While Demi doesn’t come off quite as country as other contestants, like Raven Gates or Tia Booth, she’s certainly proud of her ties to Texas. She grew up in Red Oak, which is in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Fingers crossed that this certified Bach villain will somehow make it to hometowns so we can see Clan Burnett IRL?

Game of Thrones obsession

Demi loves a good Game of Thrones episode. Is this her most relatable quality? Undoubtedly. Can someone who loves Jon Snow be all bad? Hmm. . .

We’d be fools to guess when Demi will make her exit from The Bachelor. If there’s one thing this babe has proven, it’s that she can always surprise us. Did you already know all about everyone’s fave 23-year-old villain? Let us know any other interesting facts that we might have missed!
