Bachelor Brad Womack had a very trying childhood. First his birth father was hardly ever around. Then his stepfather, Charles Pickelsimer, got emotionally and physically abusive with Brad, according to Brad’s stepsister Sandra.
“He had a very bad temper,” Sandra tells Star magazine.
Sandra describes one incident where she was arguing with Brad in the car when the family was on the way back from church — and Charles got extremely irrational with them.”The spanking felt more like a whipping,” admits Sandra.
“I remember threatening to call someone,” she adds. “Looking back, I wish I hadn’t been afraid. We were all in fear.”
BFFs — do you think the way Brad’s stepdad treated him as a kid party caused Brad to have such outrageous anger issues as an adult — and couldn’t make it work with his former fiancee Emily Maynard?
