The Untold Truth Of Johnny Bananas

BY JON O'BRIEN/UPDATED: APRIL 21, 2022 2:34 PM EDT

A reality TV contestant with the name of Johnny Bananas (well a nickname anyway) was always going to create their fair share of headlines. And the man born John Amadeus Devenanzio did just that during his multiple stints on MTV's long-running hit "The Challenge."

In fact, Bananas essentially built a career on causing chaos in "The Real World" spinoff, whether that entailed being turned into a human backpack by Chris "CT" Tamburello, reportedly duct-taping Amanda Garcia in a prank that got out of hand, or denying partner Sarah Rice more than a quarter-million dollars. With friends like these, eh! Per Entertainment Weekly, the West Coast native has appeared on no fewer than 20 seasons, winning a record seven and raking in a lot of money along the way.

But it turns out that there's more to Bananas than acting the boo-hiss villain in an extreme challenge elimination show. From humanitarian efforts and tabloid romances to bizarre lawsuits and side hustles, here's a look at his untold truth.
