As a result of “newly confirmed information” that was revealed by PeopleThe show’s creators cut back on Ramirez’s already limited screen time and limited his appearances in promotional materials.

People obtained documents showing that Ramirez had been stalking an ex-girlfriend, who filed a temporary restraining order against him on June 11.

Even though he lives an hour away… he would show up at places I visited to confront me daily.”

The woman noted that Ramirez did not physically harm her. A temporary restraining order was granted and a hearing was scheduled for July 2. However, it was postponed because Ramirez could not serve her, according to People.

At a rescheduled hearing on July 24, the case was dismissed without a ruling and the injunction was lifted.

This court order was never issued and has been dismissed in its entirety,” the statement reads. “My ex-girlfriend from college and I eventually reconciled and ended our relationship on good terms. It was the first time I fell in love and I learned a lot from our relationship. It was a growth experience for both of us.”

A source close to the production told Deadline that “this protective order did not show up in our searches,” but the revelation still casts doubt on the franchise’s vetting process, as it’s not the first time a cast member with a criminal past has been cast. Hen party.
