Ed Swiderski Slept with Lindsey Johnson After He Got Engaged to Jillian Harris, Bethany Steffen Says
The date was June 4.
That's eight full days after Ed Swiderski got down on one knee and popped the question to Jillian Harris on the teary season finale of The Bachelorette.
That was when he railed Lindsey Johnson, according to Us Weekly.
A day later, he sent a flirty text to Bethany Steffen, texting her to "bring beer and condoms" over to his place, Steffen herself tells the gossip magazine.
Smooth line, Ed.
The scorned, humiliated women are speaking out now to warn Jillian Harris about her new fiancee's two-timing ways, which were rumored for months.
"Ed's not worth my time, but if I can help someone avoid heartbreak, I'm gonna do that," Bethany Steffen said of her lying, cheating cad of an ex.
The Bachelorette, Jillian Harris, has apparently been betrayed by fiance Ed Swiderski. In other news, Nick and Vanessa are back on and Jon Gosselin is a "bad dad."
Ed Swiderski was reportedly dating both Steffen and Lindsey Johnson behind each other's backs prior to filming The Bachelorette, which began in late March.
Even while he was on the hit ABC show, he texted Lindsey Johnson that Harris wasn't his "type" and that he prefers "all blondes." He also wrote, "I love you." Cold.
According to the report, Ed lied to Harris when he said he had to bow out of episode five because he thought he'd lose his job as a Chicago software consultant.
Ed eventually returned to the show, and went on to win the final rose. But during his time back home, both Steffen and Johnson say they slept with Swiderski.
He then told them he was off to "a business trip in Texas," when in reality he returned to film episode seven of The Bachelorette and declare to Harris that he had "reprioritized" when it came to balancing work and tight shorts romance.
Reported Ed Swiderski playthings Bethany Steffen and Lindsey Johnson.
Jillian herself has denied the women's claims in an interview, saying "It's not possible ... This is a bump in the road. We are a team and we'll get through it."
But Bethany Steffen warns, "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."
Adds Lindsey Johnson, "I feel gross, used and completely violated. It shocks me that he was able to do something like that to me."
Will Jillian Harris and Ed Swiderski last?

I've known Lindsey since she was 13-14 years old... always a classy girl... stellar, phenomenal person. It's a shame stuff worked out this way, but she's not the dirty, cheap, no good slut, you people want to think she is. It's a shame, plain and simple :(

Sooo,
that Lindsey Johnson, is a lying bitch.
She feels "gross, used and completely violated." She clearly knew they were together, and she still slept with him.
Thats an attention whore if i ever heard of one. And a hardcore slut. So she had better shut her big mouth before her words turn around to bite her in the ass.
Thanks kbye

Given what these other 2 girls look like (Bethany and Lindsey), it does not surprise me that Ed returned to the show. Jillian is a lot better looking than the 2 of them put together and she also seems to have a much softer personality. If Ed is smart, he'll stay faithful to her. If not, he'll have to settle for someone else who may not be half as nice.

Sleeping with an ex after dating someone new for two weeks isn't that wrong - especially considering the new person that you're dating is involved with 11 others. Ed's insecurity got the best of him - during the show and after the show. It seemed the chemistry between Ed and Jillian on the show was genuine. The question Ed needs to answer to Jillian and to his exes is the true reason for his proposal. For show or for feelings?

I am from the town Lindsey grew up in and her mom was at the local country club the other dy talking about it. SHe said that they were dating but it really sounds likehe left her to go on the show and that she's just bitter that she didnt get the proposal but Jillian did. Even if it was true why would you let the entire country in on the fact that you were that dumb to fall for it. Pathetic. I really hope Ed and Jillian work itout.

The way I look at it is that maybe Jillian does not care that Ed cheated cause she was with other guys on the show. When asked on regis and kelly how many guys she slept with on the show, she refused to answer but was happy to say she kissed 10 guys!

I don't think this is true 100%! I do think he knew who these ladies were and maybe dated them @ some point. It may even be right before the show and during, but I don't think he cheated on her... I don't know Ed personally, but what I have seen he is a so real guy and Julian best pick. I think these girls are jealous for him not wanting them and they wanted their ten min of fame.. Its a shame that people can't live a normal life without someone trying to ruin it. Let them be happy. They are truly perfect for each other!

Correction: They got engaged on May 24th per Jillian.....8 days later would make it June 1.....premiere of The Proposal which everyone knows Jillian attended....who do you believe Ed when the cat is away the mouse will play or Lindsey, I know for sure Jillian was gone on this day so I won't get caught in lie??? Furthermore, what kind of a woman "saying that she was about to be engaged" drive Ed to airport on the morning he was leaving for the Bachelorette?? I do believe that Ed most probably slept with both women, but really doubt the after engagement allegations. Listen...Bethany and Lindsey you were used.....I was dumb like you guys when I was single, but I got myself into situations that I chose to look away from the obvious...."he just wasn't that into me." Leave Jillian and Ed alone. Forgive yourselves and reclaim your dignity and get on with your lives. To Jillian....hey you are tough....hang in there...if Ed proves to be a cad...move on...but I'm still betting that the lo
