jason i think that u are a real jerk how can u do that. what u should have done in the first place when u knew that u had feelings for both gurls is to not pick anyone of them and just tell them that u have mixed emotions and that u really need time to see this through before choosin either one. it was ur decision no one elses to go nationally and break up with melissa and hurt her like that. u had no rigt to drag her through that and play with her emotions like that. it wasnt right and i used to have respect for u and all and now i dont cuz no woman should go through what melissa went through no one. it is wrong and uncalled for. u had no right to blame anyone but urself for all that has happend. i know and see that u like molly alot and all but then if u felt that way towards her then u should have choose her and not the other and make that other person go through all of that pain and hard ake. so i think that u are a big jerk and a liar sorry to say but that is how i feel.

Jason dumped Melissa on tv, now he is trying to get her a message via tv.

Why won’t he leave Melissa alone? She already accepted his apologogy.

She has moved on with her life nicely and doesn’t need Jason as a thorn on her side.

Melissa doesn’t want to contact him at all, so Jason should respect her wishes and leave her alone.

He has his JOLLY MOLLY and she is supposed to be his friend. Why does he want Melissa as a friend?

Jason won’t let the issue go, and that would be the best thig for him to to is to quit stalking her and leave Melissa alone.

Damm Jason, quit stalking Melissa and she asked you not to contact her. Are you stupid or something?

Melissa is going to Accept Jasons Apoligy.Then shes going to move on.

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 has 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 message. 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.

I FEEL SORRY FOR JASON. IT’S NOT RIGHT TO CHANGED HIS MIND ON NATIONAL TV. IT’S STUPID! I NOTICE THAT NONE OF THE BACHELOR S ON ” THE BACHELOR” SHOW END UP MARRY THE GIRL THEY CHOSE..WHICH IS STUPID. WONDERING WHY IS IT STILL ON?!

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.

Jason, I’ve read a lot of the comments posted. It appears that most people really like you. But, for what ever the reason you chose to go on camera to break up with Melissa (pressure from the producer) as a gentleman you should have decined that offer.Money isn’t everything, but happiness. It is good that you realized your FIRST mistake by choosing Melissa, but then SECOND mistake to go “public” with breaking it off with her. Hope you and Molley turn out to be as happy as Christa and Ryan seem to be. Don’t let the public get you down. Everyone has an opinion and everyone makes mistakes… most just aren’t televised.

This is not a man.He could have told her before and of course things change when one is not on TV, and going on rediculous dates.His choice was “weak” so he must “weak and lame”.Be a man and stand up for yourself by not wanting to do it on tv.The guy has to go on this show twice to get a date?There is something wrong right there
ALSO MELLISA SAID SHE DID NOT WANT HEAR FROM HIM AGAIN SO WHY IS THE DISRESPECTFUL INCONSIDERTE JERK GOING BACK ON TV TO GIVE HER A MESSAGE.He could not break up with on his own.He needed a whole room of people to do it,and whole buch of people, to listen to his message because he is a coward. I feel for his son.

Give me a break, telling Jason he “disappointed America”? COME ON! Speak for yourself. I for one have not swayed in my perception of him one bit. I think he is genuine, a sweetheart, more of a man for showing his emotions so openly and for owning up for maybe getting swept up in emotions and making a rash decision when it came to the proposal. I truly believe he thought he was ready and as much as it hurt to say goodbye to Molly whom he truly was falling in love with as well, thought Melissa was the best fit. Things changed. They did change. The show was definitely dictating alot of how everything came out. Don’t make this guy into such a bad person. Do you know how often this stuff happens off camera, in every day life? Yet, he gets constantly attacked? We don’t see everything - only highlights. I think it took courage to step back and not drag things on with Melissa, it would hurt her more later, especially if feelings kept resurfacing for Molly. He took a chance. “America” get over it!!! Jason - you are a sweetheart, gorgeous, killer smile, great, great father and I’m sure, a wonderful partner. I hope everything calms down and that you and Molly can have some normalcy. I have faith in the two of you making it!

From an 85 year old woman, who enjoys this TV show most of the time, I see in Jason a man who is totally honest with his feelings. I believe the whole TV audience was told at the beginning of that episode, and didn’t want to hear, that Jason had already told Melissa and she had to have agreed to go on the show to duplicate the scene, so don’t give Jason all that garbage for doing it on TV. Jason’s crying was heart breaking, and I add value to his entire character for being a man who can show his emotions when they are so deep. Most problems in marriages come about because men are AFRAID to show their true emotions.

My only minus about Jason is what in the world he saw in Melissa to begin with.

Andrew Firestone: Jason Mesnick “Was Acting Like an A** ”
Friday March 6, 2009

!Former Bachelor Andrew Firestone is not buying Jason Mesnick’s sob story after dumping fiancee Melissa Rycroft for Molly Malaney on Monday’s finale.

“If he didn’t have his mind made up, don’t do anything,” Firestone tells Usmagazine.com. “Don’t feel that you are so pressured into having to propose or make a decision. There’s no reason that you have to do anything, especially if you’re so torn that you’re crying like a little girl on that balcony.”

He added: “He was faking it so much that he was crying uncontrollably and then [showed] uncontrollable elation, so he was either lying to one or the other, convincingly.”

Firestone proposed to Jen Schefft on his 2003 finale, and although the couple later split, he doesn’t regret his decision at the time.

“It wasn’t like, ‘Eh, you know what, flip a coin,’” he tells Us.

Firestone, who said he traded a few emails about Mesnick’s behavior with former Bachelorette contestant Trista Sutter, agrees that ending the engagement on the show was inappropriate.

“Don’t drag the poor girl on national TV,” he tells Us. “I think the main thing, you’ve got to act like a gentleman.”

The 33-year-old, who is now expecting his first child with wife Ivana, doesn’t fall for what he calls Mesnick’s “aw shucks, poor me” attitude.

“I think it’s a front — him crying. I think it’s so much more calculated,” Firestone says. “But he always tried to be the guy next door. I don’t even know what his motivation was, whether it’s being on TV or whatever it is.”

Instead, Firestone says Mesnick “was acting like an a** ” during the finale and After the Rose special.

“I thought it was super shady that Jason has one girl on and then he did the squirmy, puppy dog kind of thing,” Firestone says. “Melissa goes walking off and then the other girl comes on, and he’s sheepish and making out with her. Come on.

“He keeps saying, ‘Oh, nobody knows what it’s like,’ but … nobody would put themselves in those shoes. Those are shoes that nobody wants to wear. He can keep saying, ‘Oh, you’re not in my shoes.’ Well there’s a reason for that, because I choose not to put those shoes on.”

Still, the former rose-giver wishes him the best of luck.

“I hope that Jason and that other girl are truly happy and all that other stuff,” he tells Us. “This might sound malicious but what a stupid thing to do. It’s kind of a little depressing. This guy’s a father, and you’d think he’d be kind of a stand-up guy. He does the whole thing, I certainly would never coach my son to be anything less than a gentleman. Just act like a gentleman!”

- !Former Bachelor Andrew Firestone is not buying Jason Mesnick’s sob story

After Jason dumped Molly and obviously with the scene shown at the railing of his being so distraught about it, has anyone wondered why Jason, instead of proposing to Melissa, didn’t do what others have done. He could have told her that he had chosen her and that his feelings were strong for her but felt that it wouldn’t be fair to either of them to propose at that time but would like them to spend time together, away from any cameras, to see how things progressed. If he had done that there wouldn’t be all this controversy and dislike of Jason.

I personally don’t consider Jason a cad or a jerk for his change of heart. He is human and in the real world, it is what it is!

My heart goes out to Melissa because she must be humiliated to have Jason dump her on TV. I don’t respect Molly because she was just too eager to jump right in where Melissa left off. I mean the seat was still warm and she just made me sick. Has she no shame or pride or brains. He will do the same thing to her once he has enough of her. She is a bossy type and will call all the shots - just watch. I think they deserve each other. Best of luck to Melissa - wish I had a son for her.

I’m more confused about Molly because she just jumped right into his arms two seconds after poor Melissa left the stage. Doesn’t she have any pride? I think Jason could only think about the massage and whatever else that she provided and he was lusting after her. The record of Bachelors making it work are very slim so I don’t put much creedance in this relationship.

I hope Jason reads some of these responses because he needs to do some soul searching. I think he’s going around now apogizing because he wants everyone to love him and he knows many are pissed off at him. Jason, you really dupped America and we think you are a jerk. So many of us were rooting for you when you got dumped by Deanna and we were so happy you found true love, but now it is a sham. I don’t believe anything you say. You really fell off the pedestal as far as I am concerned.

I always wondered about Jason becauaw he seemed too good to be true, and GUESS WHAT…. he is. He turned me off when he cried. I mean, come on now… if you felt that bad letting Molly go, then you should have realized you were making a mistake. I think “something” must have happened to have him change his mind about Melissa and he is not fessing up. I read in the Seattle paper in January that he was sooooo in love with Melissa. It just doesn’t add up Jason. Come clean for once.

Give Jason a break he was in a bind and didn’t know what to do. I think he’s a good guy who got caught up in something and then didn’t know how to get out of it. I hope he and Molly do make it as a couple.

Jason, you really disappointed me and America. I don’t believe your answers and I am disillusioned by the whole show. I don’t believe you were in love with two women… lust maybe, but not love. To hurt Melissa on National TV is just inexcusable. I’m sorry, but I don’t buy your story. I have lost all respect for you and your new bimbo.

Jason and Molly, As bad as I feel for Melissa I think that you did the right thing for all parties concerned. I just wished that you had told her in private and not on television for the whole world to see her humiliation! That is the only thing that I would have done differently. I do not think you are a bad guy and I wish you and Molly the best of luck!

YOU ARE UGLY
