He was inundated with questions from fans asking if cocaine use had anything to do with the injury.
Addressing the speculation head on, Timm, 33, said: "We can't rule out that it wasn't from cocaine or partying 'cause I've done lots of that in my life."
"But I stopped doing that about five years ago when I started Front Runner, and I still had two good nostrils when I ended my partying career."
Front Runner is a sports and streetwear brand founded by Timm that has 120,000 followers on Instagram.
The dad-of-one believes his nose issues more likely stem from some rough punishment in the boxing ring.
He continued: "I did have a boxing camp after that (partying), which I got absolutely f***ing pumped in… my nose got broken a couple of times, so I'm gonna say boxing - but we can't completely rule out the cocaine fking conspiracy.
"But yeah, those days are over... I'm done with all that. Everything I do now has a purpose."
Timm had septoplasty - a procedure to rebuild and straighten the septum - and has shared his recovery on social media.
He is married to Briana De La Motte and they have a nine-month-old daughter called Harper.
They dated for six years before he found fame on The Bachelorette in 2019 as a group of hunks battled for the affection of Angie Kent.

He ended up finishing second to series winner Carlin Sterritt.
The following year he struck up a romance with Brittany Hockley on Bachelor in Paradise, which is filmed in Fiji.
The romance ended soo after the show wrapped and not long after the series final ended on TV, Timm and Briana announced they had reunited and were giving things another shot.

Ed Kelce has spoken out about Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift 's impending podcast release in his first interview since the death of his long-term girlfriend Maureen Maguire. It has been a tough few weeks for the patriarch of the Kelce family, but he was on fine form for a surprise appearance on Australian television on Wednesday, speaking about Taylor's new album, and his son Travis' GQ cover shoot. When asked if he knew pop superstar Swift was dropping her 12th album - The Life of a Showgirl - Ed told Today: 'I knew nothing about this announcement... I knew at some point the boys wanted to get her on the podcast, but I didn't know when it was coming up.' When asked whether he had heard any of the top-secret new music from Taylor's impending album, he insisted: 'No I haven't, not at all', before adding: 'I know Taylor's been working pretty hard since she stopped the tour. 'She's taken some breaks to watch some football games, but she's been out in LA working on this album.

Beloved Aussie children's entertainer dies aged 79 as iconic song plays in background
The South Australian arts industry is in mourning following the passing of legendary actor and puppeteer Michael Scheid on August 6. The veteran entertainer died in Adelaide with his family by his side, following a long health battle. Scheid was best known as the gentle voice and puppeteer behind Bookworm, the beloved character on the long-running Channel Seven kids' TV show The Book Place, which aired from 1991 to 2003. His death was confirmed in a heartbreaking social media statement by his daughter Cathy. 'It is with a heavy heart to write that my father Michael has left this earth. At 79 years old, to the beat of "Hit the Road Jack" by Ray Charles (his request) he calmly and peacefully passed away,' she began. 'His family were by his side for every moment in his final weeks. He enjoyed a Dog Therapy visit & a private piano concert in the 24 hours prior. 'Anyone who knew dad knows he was one of a kind and never lost his childish enthusiasm. He had a huge impact on the emerging Arts and Theatre industry in South Australia and will be fondly remembered for the many characters he played.' Scheid's talents extended far beyond the puppet stage, and he was also a celebrated screen and stage actor. In the 1980s, he was a familiar sight in Adelaide's Rundle Mall, ringing in the day as the town crier. In later years, Scheid was a treasured participant in the Bay to Birdwood motoring event, piloting his signature baby blue 1956 Morris Minor classic car. A passionate performer, Scheid also graced South Australian theatre stages in numerous productions. This included the Bunyip Theatre's 1985 musical production of The Wizard of Oz, where he portrayed the Cowardly Lion. His connection with children's arts continued well into recent years, appearing alongside Bookworm to narrate performances for the Australian Classical Youth Ballet from 1998 to 2022. He also appeared in the 2003 Australian movie Travelling Light, opposite Pia Miranda and Marshall Napier. Scheid's musical collaborator Michael Mills remembered him fondly on social media. 'When that face looked at you, you got to play with the crazy, remarkable, all manner of things... it was a wonder to behold,' Mills wrote. 'There's a little less genius and heart in the world today.' Scheid's diverse career also included television appearances in the 1984 Channel Ten drama Carson's Law and regular spots with local theatre companies such as Therry Dramatic Society and Mighty Good Productions. He is survived by his daughters Alice and Cathy.

US star raises eyebrows as he makes shock joke about popular Aussie city and drug use
Jeremy Piven was the star of the show on Monday night as he attended the Sydney premiere for his latest flick Primitive War. The Hollywood heavyweight, 60, has spent months Down Under filming the Aussie-made production and touring his stand-up comedy act across the country. But while raving about his time in Australia - and revealing his favourite spot - the American funnyman made an eyebrow raising suggestion regarding the renaming of a certain city. 'In the middle of my tour, we headed over to Perth which is the meth capital of Australia, I don't know if you know that,' Jeremy hilariously pointed out in an exclusive interview with Daily Mail. The acting icon then made a quip aimed at the US president, saying: 'And so, in the spirit of Donald Trump, I wanna rename Perth "Merth".' Cracking up with laughter, he shook his head, signalling his comment was simply tongue in cheek. Jeremy went on to list some of the highlights of his travels around Australia, even naming his favourite hangout spot in Merth, I mean Perth. 'The reality is, I went to a cigar bar called The Social Club there and it was one of the best cigar lounges I've ever been to in my life. 'Every stop that I had, whether it was the Enmore Theatre here in Sydney or going to Melbourne and playing Hamer Hall, they were some of the best times I've ever had in my life,' he revealed. 'Sold out houses... It was just incredible. I loved it.' On Monday night, Jeremy and his fellow castmates stepped out on the red carpet in Sydney to promote the upcoming film Primitive War. Based on the best-selling novel by Ethan Pettus, the sci-fi thriller is set during the Vietnam War in 1968. It follows a search-and-rescue team who are sent out into the jungle to recover a missing platoon, and instead find terrifying dinosaurs and an undercover mission that could mean the end of the world. With stunning special effects and a big-named cast, the movie was brought to life by Aussie director Luke Sparke, who Jeremy couldn't help but gush about. 'He dreamed so big! He made this indie film and he made it this larger-than-life, science fiction fantasy that looks like it's an eighty million dollar movie and he did it in his backyard.' He added: 'No one's doing that, so we need to celebrate this guy.' The adrenaline-fuelled film was shot entirely in Australia and predominantly on the Gold Coast, a place Jeremy 'did not want to leave'. 'Big lush beaches, the atmosphere is incredible, people are there living their best lives,' he said of the popular East Coast. Jeremy rose to fame as the foul-mouthed agent in satirical Hollywood dramedy Entourage. The actor played the acerbic character Ari Gold on the HBO series from 2004 to 2011, as well as appearing in the 2015 movie.
