MyFoxPhilly has learned that Bachelorette star Jillian Harris has dumped fiance Ed Swiderski in Las Vegas.
A source very close to the situation has confirmed the split and that Swiderski’s relationships with two other women led to the break up.
Harris was to have had dinner at the restaurant Lavo at the Palazzo Resort in Las Vegas with Swiderski, but instead dropped the bombshell on him.
Us Weekly said earlier this week it had documented proof Swiderski was cheating with two women, a claim he denied on national TV.
The magazine that broke the Jon Gosselin scandal says Ed Swiderski slept with former girlfriend Lindsey Johnson, and hit on another ex-girlfriend, Bethany Steffen, after he proposed to Jillian Harris.
Us Weekly also said that Swiderski had sex with both women after he bowed out of episode five because he said he would lose his job in Chicago.
He later returned to the show to try to win Harris’ heart.
On Good Morning America on Wednesday, Swiderski denied all claims made by the two women and Us Weekly. Harris also appeared on TV, said the claims were false and she would never again discuss the matter publicly.
MyFoxPhilly has seen the entire Us Weekly article that will appear on Friday, and it has extensive details about e-mails and text messages allegedly sent from Swiderski to Johnson and Steffen.
Both scorned women also gave detailed interviews to Us Weekly and warned Harris to beware of Swiderski.
Us Weekly has eight text messages that Johnson and Steffen gave to reporters that allegedly show Swiderski dissing Harris and making passes at both women.
In one message, Swiderski says he’s not attracted to Harris. Another message has Swiderski wanting to “molest” Johnson when he got home.
Johnson also says she had sex with Swiderski in early June, after he proposed to Harris at a “Bachelorette” taping.
At the time, Johnson said Swiderski denied to her that he was engaged and claimed that “producers made me do it” when she spotted airline tags from Spain and Hawaii on his luggage.
Later, Johnson said a friend tipped her off that Swiderski was engaged to Harris. She said she confronted Swiderski, who then told Johnson to watch TV to find out the truth.
Steffen also was in touch with Swiderski after the tapings and said Swiderski wanted him to bring beer and condoms to his apartment after he returned to Chicago. Instead, Steffen took her belongings from his place.
Us Weekly received no comment from Warner Horizon, ABC or Swiderski about the article before it was completed Wednesday morning.
