‘The Bachelorette’: Who Is Charity Lawson’s Brother Nehemiah?
Tonight is the premiere of Charity Lawson’s season of The Bachelorette. Along with getting to see Charity in action, viewer’s will also get to see her brother, Nehemiah, work her 25 contestants. He’s going undercover as the evening’s bartender to weed out who is and isn’t there for the right reasons. Here’s more about what Nehemiah is up to this evening and who the Bachelorette’s brother is.

“Because I’m the older brother, I’m on the lookout,” Nehemiah explains in a preview. “I have a plan. It involves a disguise.”
The disguise for Charles includes a curly black wig, a mustache, and a fedora. Though even with the new hair and hat, one contestant almost recognizes him from Charity’s hometown when she was on The Bachelor.
Nehemiah’s intention is to “put these guys in their place because men can be dogs.”
When he finally reveals his identity, some contestants look visibly worried.
“Holy s***! I talked to that man, what the hell did I say?” says contestant John B.
“It’s time to go tell my sister what’s been going on,” Nehemiah tells the camera. “She might be really upset.”

Charity was thankful to have her protective brother looking out for her on her first night as the Bachelorette.
“I was a little nervous about what was going to be said,” she told Parade. “My brother just fits the role and fit right in. Having his insight I knew was going to be helpful for me as I continued on my journey.”
The lead also told the publication what people might be surprised to learn about her brother.
“It’s always fascinating when people find out what my brother does for a living,” she said. “By day, he’s a pediatric dentist but he also has a minor in musical theater so he loves performing and doing the arts. He’s a man who’s full of personality as well. He’s charismatic. He is single so listen, we might have a Bachelor coming around the corner! We don’t know.”
