Bachelorette Winner Complained Jillian Wasn’t His “Type”
While he was wooing Jillian Harris on ABC’s The Bachelorette, Ed Swiderski was also texting then-girlfriend Lindsey Johnson he loved her, according to the new issue of Us Weekly (on newsstands now).
Contestants are supposed to relinquish cellphones during taping, but Johnson, 29, tells Us Weekly Swiderski, 30, frequently texted her. On April 8, he wrote: “Miss you.”
“We were in contact the entire time,” Johnson tells Us Weekly. “He kept saying he loved me and that he couldn’t wait to get back to me. All he said about Jillian was, ‘She’s not my type. I like tall blondes!’”
Adds Johnson, “I believed everything he said to me when, in actuality, he was saying the same things to Jillian at the same time.”
Swiderski’s other girlfriend, Bethany Steffen, has also come forth to warn Harris, telling Us Weekly that she slept with the Chicago Microsoft consultant just eight days after he popped the question to Harris.
Swiderski denies cheating on Harris, 29, who said on Wednesday’s Good Morning America that she believes his word that the ladies’ claims are “not true.”
But Steffen tells Us, “Lindsey and I are both smart girls, and Ed just has this way of making people believe what he wants. Jillian needs to be careful.”

“Lindsey and I are both smart girls”? I think not, how stupid can you get. If your boyfriend goes on the show in the first place, what the heck are you doing hanging around? Women are so, so stupid when it comes to men and then they lay all the blame on them. Men only do what they can get away with, obviously this guy knows how to pick his women well, and…”he has a way of making people believe what he wants”??? hello??!!! The person saying this is obviously easy to manipulate and control, an easy mark, and these are who these men gravitate towards. It’s not hard to walk away from these guys, obviously in some way these women are enjoying the game and they’re dumb as bricks, to boot.
