Reports have suggested for a week-plus that The Bachelorette winner Ed Swiderski was sleeping with and sending racy text messages and emails to two different women while romancing Jillian Harris, who he proposed to on the season finale.
It made for good gossip, but was denied by Jillian and Ed and there was little evidence to go by aside from the word of Bethany Steffen and Lindsey Johnson.
Well, now Us Weekly has published some of the alleged e-mails. If he really wrote this stuff, you can't imagine Jillian will stay together with him for too long.
Ed Swiderski is accused of two-timing Lindsey, who he broke up with in December but got back together with in February, with Bethany, who he dated in between (and after) before he met Jillian Harris, then cheating on Jillian with both women.
It started before The Bachelorette. On March 5, Bethany Steffen was uncomfortable with him going on it. Ed said he "never took The Bachelorette seriously."
"I let the director know I would be doing it for the wrong reasons, as I am not, in any way, attracted to the chick. It's about a 25% chance of me going, though it's seriously the last thing I am thinking about right now. I was really hoping to grab your ass!"
Classy. But nothing compared to what he supposedly emailed to Lindsey Johnson regarding his strange mid-season exit from the show.
Bethany Steffen and Lindsey Johnson say they're coming forward to warn Jillian Harris about Ed Swiderski. Those paychecks from a major tabloid probably helped too.
Ed, who later returned and asked for a second chance with Jillian, claimed he had to leave "for work." In reality, he just had to bang Lindsey Johnson!
Here's what he wrote to Lindsey on ...
- April 10, 4:28 p.m.: "I'm going to molest you when I get home. Can you pick me up?"
- April 10, 4:36 p.m.: "I'll call you as soon as I get my phone back."
- April 11, 2:35 p.m.: "Trying to leave tomorrow ... hopefully I can pull this off."
- April 11, 2:43 p.m.: "Trying, though it's not that easy. This whole show is a complete mind f--k!"
- April 12, 8:35 p.m.: [after Lindsey Johnson wrote that "it's not fair" Ed was gone longer than the two weeks he promised] "You are right and I miss you dearly. I love you. I'm letting them know tonight. They'll get me home tomorrow."
Yeah. Not long after he orchestrated his return, Ed left town again, supposedly to go to Texas for work, according to Lindsey Johnson. When she found out he went back to the show, and got engaged to Jillian Harris, she was furious.
Then she had sex with him anyway on June 4, eight days after his TV proposal. A day earlier, Bethany Steffen says Ed tried to booty call her too. Classic.

Ed take a polygraph test! Jillian believe the 2 X's. You would stay with someone who slept with another just after your engagement. Where's his commitment? And where is your dignity to tell him to get lost...

I have NO PITY for this Lyndsey woman. A guy gets engaged on national TV and she sleeps with him 8 days later. PATHETIC. If it is true, PATHETIC. If it's not true, she's PATHETIC. Either way the one sure thing we know is that she is PATHETIC. Women like her are a dime a dozen in Chicago. The smart ones live the city scene for a few years and have our fun. Then we find the right guy and quickly either isolate and hang at home a lot or we move to the burbs and start our families. She, on the other hand looks rather old and worn, a sign that she has stayed in the game a little too long. Again, PATHETIC. She needs to move out of the city and get "real" life, something with more meaning than screwing everything in sight.

The pathetic one is Jillian for sticking around with this three timing fool. She's so in denial and desperate to get married that she'll rather look the other way- pathetic!

Well Ed probably didn't tell Lindsay he got engaged. Remember... the engagement episode didn't air until months later, and Ed and Jillian weren't allowed to be together until it did. So it definitely is possible that he was getting some in the meantime!

Now I get why he couldn't 'perform' in the fantasy suite...his mind was definitely on other things besides Jillian...

Jillian looks so desperate by staying with this lying, dirtball. She is going to be the laughing stock if she doesn't come to her senses and dump him. JILL, HE IS A LIAR!!

There are many Eds out there. My heart goes out to Lindsey. She devoted over a year to him, and he led her to believe that he was going to marry her before 2009. Reid was my personal favorite. I think that he was there for the right reasons. Ed seems shady. Even if what his exes claim is embellished, he just doesn't seem sincere. It is possible that he fell in love with Jillian, or maybe it is the idea of winning and being flown to some really neat countries that kept him intrigued, and in the game. I hope that he will change his ways for Jillian's sake. Very few players can settle down and mend their ways.
