The accused accomplice and rumored lover of a Georgia beauty queen claimed Thursday that he’s innocent and “nobody wanted” her then-estranged husband dead in the alleged murder-for-hire plot in the Bahamas.

Lindsay Shiver‘s ex-boyfriend Terrance “Adrien” Bethel was arrested alongside the mom of three and alleged hitman Faron “Faylo” Newbold in July 2023, when the trio was accused of attempting to kill former Auburn football captain Robert Shiver.

The plot was foiled when local police unearthed texts that detailed the planned hit during an unrelated investigation of a break-in at the waterfront bar where Bethel worked.

Lindsay Shiver allegedly sent a photo of her husband with another woman through a series of messages in the messaging service WhatsApp to Bethel and Newbold accompanied by the text “Kill him.”

“She sends the picture that was just sent to her,” Bethel told Good Morning America. “When she found out he was there and the kids were home, that’s when she’s like ‘kill him.’”

Bethel defended his former lover’s questionable message claiming she wanted to know if Robert Shiver left their kids unsupervised at their Caribbean island home.

“Nobody ever wanted him dead,” he insisted.

The Bahamian barman claimed his innocence to the outlet as Lindsay Shiver returned to Nassau for a pre-trial court hearing on Oct. 5.

“I’m definitely not guilty of conspiracy to commit murder,” Bethel said. “And Faylo is not guilty of being a hired hitman.

“It’s time to let the world know that we’re innocent.”

Lindsay Shiver admitted to investigators that she sent frustrating messages after fighting with her husband, whom she married in 2010.

Bethel had downplayed the texts saying “Everybody says things out of frustration” and people take things at “face value.”

“None of us have anything to hide,” he told the Daily Mail last August.

“Whenever she gets into an argument with him, she tells me about it. Of course, I’m livid about it, but planning to murder him? No,” Bethel said laughing at the notion he is an attempted killer.

Shiver “lived a double life” when she frequently traveled to the island of Abaco, where the family has a second home, and began an affair with Bethel, sources told The Post last August.

“She lived a double life — this Georgia housewife with the lovely kids and the Bahamas bad girl. She got caught up in something really bad. It’s sad,” the source said.

Before the collapse of their marriage, the Shivers split their time between a multimillion-dollar Thomasville, Georgia mansion and a luxury spread in the exclusive Bahamian enclave of Baker’s Bay.

The couple met while Robert Shiver was the Auburn University football team captain in 2007.

The barman said his romance with Shiver was known and they vented to each other frequently.

“Us loving each other was not a secret. She’s my best friend still, we continue to care about each other no matter what which also makes it hard going through this case,” Bethel said.

Shiver, who pleaded not guilty to her charges, has been staying with her parents in Alabama awaiting her March trial, and a Georgia judge granted her permission to travel to the Peach State to visit her kids.

Robert Shiver began dating Savannah Chrisley in Sept. 2023 — two months after surviving the alleged murder-for-hire hit.

The Auburn star went undrafted in the 2009 NFL draft but signed as a free agent with the Atlanta Falcons after college. He later became executive vice president for Senior Life Insurance Company.
