AceShowbiz - More of Victoria Fuller's skeletons in the closet has been dug out. Just weeks after she came under fire over her modeling past that was tied to the "White Lives Matter" movement, the season 24 contestant of "The Bachelor" made headlines once again. This time, her past DWI arrest was brought to light.
On Monday, February 17, The Sun uncovered a mugshot of the medical sales representative from the time she got arrested in Virginia Beach, Virginia on August 25, 2017, and was charged with DWI. The outlet further detailed that she was initially sentenced to one year in jail, but managed to get away with 24 months of probation when the sentence was suspended.
As part of her sentence, the 26-year-old who vied for Peter Weber's heart on the dating show was ordered to pay a $250 fine and court fees of $221. Her driver's license was also restricted for a year. She was only allowed to drive to destinations approved by court, including Alcohol Safety Action Program events, school and work.
A couple of days before the uncovering of her DWI arrest, Victoria came out with an apology for her "White Lives Matter" photo controversy. On Saturday, February 15, she turned to Instagram Story to say, "I would like to sincerely apologize for my involvement with We Love Marlins. My intention was only to support an endangered species."
"I want to say that I unequivocally reject the beliefs of the white lives matter movement or any propaganda that supports racism of any kind," she continued. "I would like to specifically apologize to people of color that are affected by racism daily. It was never my intention to add fuel to the racial fire in this country. This has truly been an educational moment for me and I hope to be a voice against racism moving forward. I hope I can be shown grace as I navigate through this process."
