Twitter'Bachelorette' winner's ex sympathizes with Jillian
"The Bachelorette" fairy tale is quickly becoming a nightmare.
After UsWeekly reported that "Bachelorette" winner Ed Swiderski had cheated on Jillian Harris with two other women while he was wooing her on the show, one of the women, Lindsay Johnson is speaking up, afraid Harris is headed for heartache.
"I feel terrible," says Johnson, who had revealed she had slept with Swiderski one week after he had proposed to Harris on national TV.
"Ed has a way with words and this is what he did to both of us!" Johnson adds, referring to Swiderski's other other woman, Bethany Steffen.

The women have accused Swiderski of various behavior inconsistent with a man supposedly in love with Harris: sending them romantic or flirty texts during and after taping "The Bachelorette," sleeping with them both (separately) while he was away from the show for one episode and even claiming Harris wasn't his "type."
Although Harris has sided with Swiderski, telling "Good Morning America" she thinks the infidelity stories are "not true," Johnson says that's the typical pattern of denial when dating Swiderski.
"That's actually what Bethany and I both did when we were dating him despite what people were saying about him to us," Johnson says. "There were so many signs. His friends used to say to me all the time, 'Lindsey, he does not deserve you. You deserve better.' And I would ask, 'Why would you say that? Ed is one of your best friends, and he is a great guy.' But they would never tell me why. Now I know!"

If these women's claims turn out to be true, Swiderski could very well supplant Jason Mesnick as the biggest jerk in all of the "Bachelor" franchise history.

I knew she should have picked Reid.
I agree,but that's what she gets for letting Reid go.Reid would have treated her like a queen....
wow, talk about getting under the radar. Ed seemed so sweet. but personally, i always like Reid best anyway!
i knew Ed was sneaky!! she should have went with the other guy!
I'm not surprised at this. She should have never taken him back after he left her because "work" was more important.
Why don't you just leave Jillian and Ed alone to work out their situation? Jillian is a smart girl and will figure things out if there is anything to figure out. It could be that Ed didn't think either of his two ex's were really "the ones" and that Jillian really is. Time will tell, but let's get on with our lives and let them get on with theirs. Go Jillian!
Here we go again!
i knew ed was sneaky an a jerk i knew every since he left yu claming to be for a job he is a liar an he dont deserve yu... yu would of been better off wit reid he was sincere an real from day one
They are cute together. I think this is a case of jilted girlfriends getting payback and trying to get their 5 minutes of fame. You go, Ed!
Run to Reid if he'll take you back.... You want to still love who you are with when you are 80
