This ex ‘Bachelor’ star was just arrested for DUI — and now her Instagram’s private
She didn’t win Ben Higgins’ heart on “The Bachelor” back in 2016. But that’s the least of Jubilee Sharpe’s problems at present.
Sharpe, who was sent home by Higgins during week five back on season 20, was arrested early Sunday on a DUI charge in Palm City in West Palm Beach County, TMZ first reported.
The 29-year-old reality star, whose first name is actually Faviola, was cast as a villain early on, but her image began to soften as the season played out.
Soon after being sent home by Higgins, Sharpe opened up to People about her painful past: Sharpe’s three brothers and parents died when she was a small child living in Haiti. She and her surviving sister were eventually sent to an orphanage, where she was adopted by her dad, a relief worker, and brought to Fort Lauderdale. Her sister’s whereabouts are still unknown.
As per a police report, the Army vet was pulled over in her 2012 silver, four-door Honda sedan early Sunday by the Florida Highway Patrol. After refusing to submit to a breath, blood or urine test, she was booked at around 6 a.m., then released on her own recognizance about six hours later.
Sharpe “did unlawfully commit the offense of driving under the influence of alcoholic beverages, chemical or controlled substances,” reads the report.
Before her Instagram became private on Tuesday morning, the “Bachelor in Paradise” alum posted a pic from last weekend, holding a drink that appears to be a cocktail.
“Possible threat in the building,” read the caption. “Reports say his name is Don Julio. Please send back up.”
