Reality star admits ‘too much cocaine and partying’ as he reveals collapsed nose wrapped up in bandages
A FAMOUS reality star has opened up about his wild partying and cocaine use after revealing his collapsed nose.
Aussie Timm Hanly, who is known for appearing on The Bachelorette and Bachelor in Paradise, sparked concern when he posted a video clip of his deviated septum.
He was inundated with questions from fans asking if cocaine use had anything to do with the injury.
Addressing the speculation head on, Timm, 33, said: “We can’t rule out that it wasn’t from cocaine or partying ’cause I’ve done lots of that in my life.”
“But I stopped doing that about five years ago when I started Front Runner, and I still had two good nostrils when I ended my partying career.”
Front Runner is a sports and streetwear brand founded by Timm that has 120,000 followers on Instagram.
The dad-of-one believes his nose issues more likely stem from some rough punishment in the boxing ring.
He continued: “I did have a boxing camp after that (partying), which I got absolutely f***ing pumped in… my nose got broken a couple of times, so I’m gonna say boxing – but we can’t completely rule out the cocaine fking conspiracy.
“But yeah, those days are over… I’m done with all that. Everything I do now has a purpose.”
Timm had septoplasty – a procedure to rebuild and straighten the septum – and has shared his recovery on social media.
He is married to Briana De La Motte and they have a nine-month-old daughter called Harper.
They dated for six years before he found fame on The Bachelorette in 2019 as a group of hunks battled for the affection of Angie Kent.
He ended up finishing second to series winner Carlin Sterritt.
The following year he struck up a romance with Brittany Hockley on Bachelor in Paradise, which is filmed in Fiji.
The romance ended soo after the show wrapped and not long after the series final ended on TV, Timm and Briana announced they had reunited and were giving things another shot.
