" The Bachelorette star Kasey Kahl has pleaded not guilty to felony assault. Kahl - who also appeared in Bachelor Pad - was initially arrested in January on a drunk and disorderly charge after allegedly becoming involved in a nightclub brawl. Last month, he was also charged with felony assault, felony battery and public intoxication, after investigators claimed that he had been under the influence of paint thinners. He has now pleaded not guilty in court in Fresno County, California, E! News reports. Kahl&amp;#039;s attorney Gerald Saul Schwab claimed that the reality star had been defending himself during the fight and said he had witness statements as evidence. Describing the allegations that Kahl was intoxicated on paint thinners as &amp;quot;absolutely untrue&amp;quot;, Schwab added: &amp;quot;[Kahl] is not doing well. He is upset that he is being charged simply by defending himself.&amp;quot; Kahl&amp;#039;s next hearing is due to take place on October 2. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
