Bachelor’s Melissa: Jason and Molly Betrayed Me

mesnick-melissa-b_0.jpg

On Thursday’s Ellen DeGeneres Show, The Bachelor’s Melissa Rycroft speaks out for the first time about being dumped by Jason Mesnick on national television and how hurt she was when she found out he was dating runner-up Molly Malaney.

Rycroft says “it was pretty immediate” after the finale that Mesnick realized he didn’t want to be with her.

“Once we got back, we both kind of sat in the real world, and we were talking about how [our relationship] was different,” she says. “He kind of gave up, and I couldn’t understand why at the time. Now I do – because I think there was someone else involved.”"And that is where my feelings of betrayal came in,” she goes on. “I knew on the night After the Final Rose [aired], I wasn’t getting dumped. We had already ended the relationship and that was mutual.”

“I repeatedly asked him, ‘Is Molly involved in anything?’ And when they moved up the taping of After the Final Rose, I was going, ‘Why did we move the taping up? What’s going on?’”

“I asked Jason, ‘Am I going to be blind-sided by anything? Is there anything you want to tell me?’ And he said, ‘No, gosh no.’ And the second I went out on that stage, he goes, ‘P.S. it is Molly.’ And I went, ‘Bastard!’” (more…)

Yay! I really liked her!

Jillian Harris — who finished in third place on the recent controversial installment of The Bachelor — will headline the new season of The Bachelorette, ABC announced Tuesday night.

“I am so excited,” said Harris, 29, an interior designer from Canada.

She jokingly thanked Jason Mesnick for giving her the chance to have 25 men compete for her affections.

“It’s a very unorthodox way to find love. but we are living in a world where people are doing things differently,” she said.

“It’s a great opportunity for me,” she added. “I fell in love once before and I know this is a great venue for me to fall in love again.”

“Seeing what Jason went through makes you realize there’s no guarantees in life,” she went on. “I only hope I make the right choice the first time.”

Harris also made one promise about the new season: “I don’t need my dad to see any more hot tub scenes.”

The Bachelor and The Bachelorette host Chris Harrison said Harris “really captured America’s heart and the groundswell of support for her to become the new Bachelorette was overwhelming.”

The show debuts May 18.

Trista Sutter Slams Bachelor Jason Mesnick for Dumping Fiancee

andy-trista-jason-b.jpg

Former Bachelor and Bachelorette contestants are slamming Jason Mesnick for dumping fiancee Melissa Rycroft for Molly Malaney on Monday’s final,

On his Facebook page, season 10’s Andy Baldwin wrote: “Andy is glad when he was the Bach. He was a man and didn’t sell his soul and cave. Such a sellout.”

Later, he posted: “You do NOT break up on national television. That is the opposite of a gentleman.”

Trista Sutter — the only reality star to wed after the show — was also shocked that Mesnick (who has a son, Ty, 4) “would propose to one woman, introduce her to his child and then hook up with a new woman.”

“How could you go from being engaged to someone, to kissing someone else on the couch?!” she fumed to Momlogic.com. “He doesn’t deserve to walk away scot-free.”

“What disappointed me as a mom is that he introduced both girls to Ty,” she went on. “Melissa was around, and now she’s gone. What is Ty going to think?”

Sutter — who is expecting her second child with husband Ryan — said she sent a text message to Melissa that said, “‘I’m proud of the way you handled it.’”

Added Sutter, “She deserves so much better! Melissa hasn’t been able to say anything about this until now, so I think she’s relieved. I am happy she can finally move on. As far as I’m concerned, this is a blessing in disguise. Now she can find someone who truly loves her.”

Sutter called Mesnick “obviously fickle” and warned Molly against jumping into a relationship with him after the way he treated Melissa.

“How can you trust him?” she said.

On Monday’s Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Mesnick defended his decision to dump Melissa.

“How was I supposed to lead somebody on, or keep on going, if it really wasn’t there?” he said. “That’s the honest truth.”

Jason Mesnick Defends Decision to Dump Bachelor Winner for Runner-Up

mesnick-b.jpg

Jason Mesnick is defending his decision to dump Bachelor winner Melissa Rycroft for runner-up Molly Malaney on Monday night’s shocking Bachelor finale.

“How was I supposed to lead somebody on, or keep on going, if it really wasn’t there?” he said on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Monday. “That’s the honest truth. Did America want me to say, ‘Lead someone on?’ Why would anyone do something like that?”

He later said, “Engagements do end – that’s real life.”

So what went wrong with Melissa?

After he proposed to her, he said they spent six weeks together before taping the After the Rose special.

“What really happened is, the chemistry was completely different, the relationship was completely different,” he said. “The openness and how we reacted and related to each other and the conversations, which were so great on the show, were completely different.”

(Kimmel asked Mesnick why he didn’t just date her after the finale, in lieu of proposing. But Mesnick said he just got caught up. “Everything I was ever looking for, at that time in my life, was Melissa,” he explained. “On that very last day, that was exactly what I wanted.”)

Asked if he and Molly are still together, Mesnick said, “Yes, absolutely.”

Wedding plans?

“There is no talk about that,” he said. “We’re taking it at our own pace.”

Would Melissa be invited to the ceremony?

“If she wanted to come,” Mesnick said. “I think, at some point, her and I will be friends again.”

Kimmel shot back: “No, you will not.”

Does his four-year-old son Ty understand what went down, Kimmel then asked.

“He’s more interested … in Speed Racer than anyone else,” Mesnick replied.

Will he dump his son for a blonde child, Kimmel joked.

Mesnick laughed before replying, “No way!”

The Bachelor speaks out on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” in first interview follwoing tonight’s “After the Rose” special‏

SPOILER ALERT… DON’T READ IF YOU HAVEN’T SEEN LAST NIGHT’S BACHELOR YET!

After host Jimmy Kimmel introduced the “fickle pickle“ to the stage, he quipped, “Is your arm sore from handing out and taking back roses?” “I hate roses, I am done with roses,” laughed Jason.

Jason then spoke candidly about his decision to break-off his engagement with Melissa. Jason admitted the difficulty in having to make such a difficult choice in the end, saying that if he had been dating the last 3 women in the “real world,” he would not have stopped dating any of them since they were all great girls.

Kimmel asked Jason why he decided to propose, instead of just choosing a woman to continue dating. “I came into the show… with a preconceived notion… everything I was ever looking for at that time in my life was Melissa,” Jason said. During the following six weeks after the show finished taping though, including secret rendezvous’ and time spent together during the holidays, Jason felt that “the chemistry was completely different.”

Kimmel wondered if the break-up had anything to do with Melissa watching the show week after week and seeing how Jason interacted with the other women, but Jason denied that, saying that Melissa “refused to watch the show.”

“Are you planning to get married to Molly?” Kimmel asked. “There is no talk about that right now.” Jason responded.

“I think Melissa and I will at some point be friends,” Jason said, to which Kimmel emphatically responded, “Oh no you will not!”
