Melissa on the 'Bastard'

0305rycroft.jpg

Melissa Rycroft is back on TV for her first interview -- and she isn't holding anything back!

Today the 25-year-old former Dallas Cowboys cheerleader appears on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" and she's sounding off on being dumped by "The Bachelor" Jason Mesnick.

The end of the couple's engagement was something Rycroft was aware of before she appeared on "After the Final Rose" special. The sales rep tells Ellen, "I knew I wasn't getting dumped. We had already ended the relationship and that was mutual."

What the brunette beauty wasn't sure of was if Jason had a change of heart because of his feelings for Molly Malaney. "He kind of gave up and I couldn't understand why." Melissa says she had a feeling, but she didn't know Molly was truly in the picture until the taping, "...And the second I went out on that stage, he goes P.S. it is Molly..."

Melissa was all smiles during the interview and she's seeing someone special. Ellen pulled up a picture of Melissa and her new boyfriend hugging. Melissa says, "I've known him for two years and kind of done the dating on and off and he has been my biggest rock supporter throughout this whole process."

Melissa's interview with Ellen airs today. For more of "The Bachelor," tune into "Extra" tomorrow for an interview with Jason and Molly!

"Extra" wants to hear your questions for Jason and Molly. Upload your video questions and the happy couple might answer you on Friday's "Extra"!

“Melissa I am so tired of you bashing Jason and Molly get over it. And to me you are not a nice person to get on TV and call Jason a (bastard) that was awful to me that show your charcter all you wanted to get on TV and get your 15 minutes of fame. Jason has said nothing but nice things about you so why can’t you do the same. You talked about charcter that Jason & Molly had just look at yourself you have no charcter in view. Jason has nothing but nice things about you so why can’t you do the same about him. I hope Jason & Molly live happy everafter. I watched and never did care for you to me you thought you was so cute.

Really, stfu…. if you think its ‘awful’ to call someone a bastard for not only lying and being deceitful but embarrassing her on NATIONAL TV, you’re an idiot. Give me a break. If that was you, you’d have just responded w a coke and a smile? If so, you deserve whatever you get. Just because you didnt ‘like her on the show’ and felt she ‘thought she was cute’ (wtF is wrong w that??? self worth or confidence is a bad thing???) you think she deserves what she gets. Get over yourself…you either really are that naive, or you’re so hot in the pants for Jason its clouding what little bit of judgement you do have. Go away.

Melissa “waltzed” her way into America’s hearts after being betrayed by bachelor Jason Mesnick on the most shocking and talked about season finale ever of ABC’s The Bachelor. With an outpouring of support and affection from viewers across America, a dignified Melissa has personified the courage to move on. Her journey continues as a participant on season eight of Dancing with the Stars, valiantly stepping in with less than a week to train when two celebrities were forced to withdraw due to injuries. She teams with Tony Dovolani, who returns for his seventh season

Hey MH, Melissa didn’t say as much as I have, I would have called him every filthy thing under the sun. She was tame when she called him a bastard which he is. I would have used horrendous words. Jason is a big Joke and he wants to public to love him. What’s the matter with him. Too worried what the public thinks about him. SORRY CHARLIE, he already became the most hated Bachelor of all time. Jason is a worthless piece of garbage and he needs to be where garbage belongs.

I read on another magazine that Jason is doing the talk show circuit. I know he went on the Ellen DeGeneres show already. Which show is next? Why is he doing the talk show circuit? To profess his love for Molly? We already know that he loves Molly.

Molly is so boring and no one wanted him to pick her. After all is said and done - he is boring too!! We discovered we are watching regular people dating (PLEASE STOP KISSING - YOU ARE MAKING US SICK). Go home and have your boring life together - you deserve eachother. Molly acts likes she is 40 instead of a tender 24. Jason is 8 years older than you (which no one comments on) but it seems you can control him. Even your hottest scenes with him made us want to throw up. GO BACK AND BORE EACHOTHER TO DEATH.

It FRIGHTENS me how QUICKLY people cast judgment! We have ALL made mistakes, just NOT in front of MILLIONS of people! Jason was contractually bound to go about things the way that he did. IF given a choice he would NEVER have done what he did on LIVE television, however he did NOT have a choice & it took great courage for him to do what he did! I also truly believe that he did it as tactfully as he possibly could given the options that he was given. Plus, Melissa KNEW that it was over. BOTH she and Jason have stated this MULTIPLE times in various interviews, so why the big “poor me” act? It was over. They were no longer even together, so why the big drama? I’ll tell you why – to gain sympathy! To cause a scene in order to get more of her “15 minutes”! For Naomi to label Melissa as “America’s Sweetheart” was misguided. I found Melissa’s behavior on the show and after the show to be somewhat needy & unstable. Unlike myself, Jason has NEVER said one bad word about Melissa (which doesn’t surprise me since he seems to truly be an upstanding gentleman who always “takes the high road”), & Melissa’s unleashed anger & pretend “shock” over something she already knew led me to believe that one of the reasons that Jason had a change of heart was that MELISSA had changed. I got the feeling that she was one way when the cameras were rolling & quite another way once they were turned off! I give Jason a TON of credit for following his heart! Melissa said “Don’t follow your heart, LEAD it”. What ridiculous advice! (This reckless advice may be why Melissa has been so unlucky in love & continues to get hurt time & time again…Next time Melissa, FOLLOW your heart – DON’T try to “lead” it) If you try to FORCE your heart to do something that it doesn’t want to do, you are just BEGGING for trouble & heartache later on down the road. Your heart KNOWS what it wants & it’s when one tries to rationalize away what your heart already knows that people get hurt! KUDOS to Jason for FOLLOWING his heart & for being TRUE! I always believed that he was a GENUINE guy! I have only watched ONE “Bachelor” (this one) & ONE “Bachelorette” (Trista & Ryan) because I only get “pulled in” whenever I see GENUINE chemistry BOUNCING off of the T.V. screen! I saw it with Trista & Ryan (who are STILL together by the way) & I saw it again with Jason & Molly! Their chemistry was ELECTRIC! I completely empathized with Molly on the final episode when she kept telling Jason “I think you’re making a big mistake” & “I just don’t get it” because I too thought Jason was making a big mistake & I didn’t get it either. I understand that Melissa met all of Jason’s preconceived “criteria” for what he was looking for, but Molly was so much MORE than just a list of criteria! She challenged Jason & made him glow with passion, excitement and a genuine zest for life whenever he was around her! It was very evident in his behavior that he was falling hard & fast for Molly early on! When he broke down sobbing after telling Molly “Goodbye” that was his heart TRYING to tell him something, but apparently he took MELISSA’s advice & LED his heart instead of FOLLOWING it, & behold… PEOPLE GOT HURT! Always follow your heart – ALWAYS! One last thing…I BEG Jason & Molly NOT to read too much of the “tabloid crap” because it is just toxic rubbish from people who are hypocritical, judgmental, & clearly do not have enough happiness in their own lives so they feel the need to sabotage the lives of those who ARE so fortunate & so blessed to find true happiness, in order to make their own lives seem a little less pathetic. Jason & Molly…Just be GLAD that you guys are the ones who are HAPPY and NOT the ones who are doing the HATING. Granted I don’t know you both personally, however it always warms my heart to see people who truly care for one another make it work. I hope to see you guys stand the test of time! Let’s make the score “Romance: 1, Haters: 0”. I’m SO HAPPY for you both & wish you ALL THE BEST!

I heard Molly say that Jasons and her relationship started outed physical and then fell in love. So did they really JUST go to first base in the overnight in the tent? Makes me wonder???

Please do not lose sight of the fact that this is TV…everything is edited to increase the show’s ratings and to dramatize all the events..I think Jason regrets his impulsive decisions and regrets the hurt that he inflicted on everyone including himself…let’s not cast stones, everyone has done things they are not proud of

I would have done the same thing Jason did. Melissa and Jason broke up way before we saw it on T.V. Melissa was NOT surprised!! She’s dating someone else now already so really, how stable was she in this relationship? You can’t blame just one person. Jason and Molly…I wish you all the happiness in the world.
You make a much better couple and I was routing for both of you all along. This will make your relationship stronger!

Hey Melissa,
sorry your heart was broken but better he told you now then when you were making wedding plans. Give the guy some credit for being honest. I really liked the blouse you were wearing on the Ellen show. Can you tell me where you got it? Best of luck to you in the future with your new man.

Melissa told Jason not to contact her. Why is stupid Jason still trying to send Melissa messages. Geez, leave the poor girl alone. What part off NO does Jason not understand? He already worked Melissa over on TV. It just shows what kind of guy he is. Jason is adding insult to injury. If was any kind of gentleman, he would respect Melissa’s wishes to not contact her. The dastardly deed has been done, now he needs to let go of Melissa once and for all. Jason wants sympathy from the public that is the only reason he is sending Melissa messages. He is trying to SAVE FACE AND GET IN GOOD GRACES WITH THE PUBLIC. He is not getting NO SYMPATHY from me. He is just playing with the women’s emotions.

Jason is a WEASEL his beady eyes are a dead give away. I don’t care who he ends up with, the thing that bothers me is how he dumped Melissa. I am sure that he could have discussed that situation with the producers and told them that dumping Melissa on National tv would be a cruel thing to do. Jason was looking out for himself. He was inconsiderate and very mean spirited in his actions. He was very selfish and self centered and a he is a self righteous b*tch.

He shouldn’t have proposed if he wasn’t sure. But once he did, he did have a moral obligation to not drag Melissa through the dirt, and for some reason he chose the low road. With all of the electronic ways to get in touch with someone 24/7, how does he expect Melissa and America to believe that he had no contact with Molly, especially since Melissa knew he had contacted her at least once. Molly wasn’t blindsided by his change of heart either. He was hedging his bet all along. That’s not called love, Jason, it’s called opportunism.

Jason claims he was under contract to do what he had to do. LIAR, LIAR, LIAR. Chris Harrison said Jason DID have options of doing other things. Jason chose to break up with Melissa on national tv. Apparently he thought he would get a wave of sympathy from viewers and it backfired on him. I believe Chris Harrison when he was on GMA and said that Jason had other options. Jason is a bonafide no good conniving master manipulator. What he did to Melissa was uncalled for and he could have handled it a different way. NO MORE MR. SQEAKY CLEAN IMAGE. HE SURE PULLED THE WOOL OVER ALOT OF PEOPLE’S EYES. He’s a TRAMP A LIAR, A JERK AND A BASTARD.
