According to PageSix, Shouhed had also posted a video of himself on Monday dancing in his car to a Spanish song by Joe Arroyo called Rebelion.’

The lyrics in the song includes the line ‘No le pegué a la negra,’ which when translated into English reads: ‘don’t hit the black woman.’ 

In an episode of the reality show that aired last year, Mike got busted by his then-girlfriend Paulina after she found salacious texts on his phone and was accused of cheating. 

In the exchange with a stranger, Mike discussed his sexual likes and dislikes and even sent an old black-and-white photo of himself posing in tight white underwear. 

He later announced his engagement to Paulina on a reunion episode of the show in August last year – but was still called a liar and a cheat by his fellow cast members. 

Last year, Shouhed owned up to his mistakes and admitted that he had sexted someone behind his fiancée’s back.

‘It was a dark time,’ he told E!. ‘We were going through COVID, being on lockdown, and I let the anxiousness of going through that and just being bored allow me to do things I shouldn’t have done.’

He added: ‘Looking back, I feel really stupid for allowing myself to engage in that conversation, even though those text messages were for a few hours and one day that those messages happened, reliving it now feels like… like it was going on for a long period of time.’
