Bachelor Star Vienna's Mom Worked as "Topless Dancer"

As revealed in the new issue of Us Weekly, lightning-rod Bachelor finalist Vienna Girardi has a checkered past indeed: a "Hooter-iffic" career as a bikini-clad waitress, a secret fling with a music-world celebrity and multiple betrayals (in high school, she slept with her best friend's boyfriend).

See Bachelors without their shirts in our hunky photo gallery!

One other little detail 23-year-old Girardi -- who grew up in Sanford, Fla. -- is hiding? Her mother.

A source points out to UsMagazine.com, "See how she never really mentions her mom on the show? Well, that's because her mom is a topless dancer. Or at least she used to be."

Remember this controversial -- but happy! -- Bachelor couple?

What's Girardi's ex-stripper mother (whose name has not been revealed) up to nowadays? "She sells boiled peanuts on the side of 46," the source says. (Route 46 is an east-west highway in central Florida.)

    Tina's boiled peanuts are FANTASTIC! I had them a few weeks back and actually met the lady, she was very nice and honestly better looking than her daughter..yeah she's hot! People just love to hate and poke fun...

    WHAT gives any of you the right to trash someone you don't even know. How would you feel if all of these comments where about YOUR sister or daughter your best friend or even your mom. You all should be a shame of yourselfs and if your adults you should will be a shamed. I believe in KARMA and I hope all of you get it back in spades.

    HOW DISGUSTING SHE IS, I AM SHOCKED THAT HE PICKED HER..WELL ACTUALLY NOT..FROM WHAT I HAVE READ AS OF LATE, HE IS NOT THE WORLDS ALL AMERICAN GOOD GUY! THE MORE I WATCHED HIM THE CREEPIER HE GOT. TALK ABOUT A STRANGE GUY. UGH SOMETHING ABOUT HIM IS NOT RIGHT. I KNOW ALOT OF PEOPLE THINK HE IS GAY AND MAYBE THAT IS IT BUT HE IS KIND OF GROSS TO ME LIKE GREASY GROSS AND SHE FITS HIM WELL. UGH, I THINK THIS COUPLE WILL BE QUICKLY SWEPT UNDER THE RUG AT ABC. ATLEAST I HOPE SO.

    God i dont know how you american people live for drama, in everything you have to stur up DRAMA leave the girl alone. I am sure all of us have past and like God says none of us are perfect and who the hell are we to judge another man. I think most of you people need to shut up and take a look in the mirrow on your own lives.

    Jake only has taste in his mouth and i think right now that it is for sure a bad one. I chose Tinley from the first night.. Some have said she is boring.. but she is not two faced and a ho like Vienna is!!

    Wow! This thing keeps getting weirder and weirder. I'm starting to think that the bachelor is fake and they are just acting their way through this. www.psychikos. com

    Jake is not thinking with his heart when it comes to Vienna. He's making the biggest mistake of his life and it's going to hurt him with his future. Vienna is not the wholesome girl he deserves. Jake, what the heck happened to your values? Do you really think Vienna is the kind of mother you want for your children? She's too young, too wild and from what I've heard not trustworthy. Let her go sew her oats and grow up. She's not the gal for you. You let the girl that you deserve get away when you didn't allow Ali to come back. Hopefully you'll have a second chance with Ali. Tenley is okay, but I think she's on the re-bound. She needs more time to heal. Jake, wake the heck up .... before you break your own heart and learn to live alone for the rest of your life.

    why did you pick Viennas? tenley was better . you made a stupid choose. Vienna wanted to talk yo you why you where talking to Gia

  • February 16, 2010 - 5:12pm Zoe

    Vienna is discusting... even without being a Hooters girl. She STOLE her boyfriends money for a boob job when he was in Iraq, that is absolutly unacceptable!! And Tenley, just one man in her life, and only divorced a year ago... POOR JAKE!! What is with ABC getting these NASTY girls for this INCREDIBLE man. This for sure is the last bachelor I watch!! And I pray with all I am that Jake throws them both away and goes and gets ALI. WAKE UP JAKE!! And to ABC.. GOOD BYE your trashy show is no longer on my schedule!!!

    Poor Jake. I dont think she is attractive at all. Inside and out. She needs to dye her hair back to the original color. It looks really bad on her. I cant watch him with her. It makes me nauseous.

  • February 16, 2010 - 1:47pm Leslie

    she is soooooo trashy!

  • February 16, 2010 - 9:54am Dana

    @ ThisIScrap: Agreed. I have lived in FL my whole life and just about everyone walks around in a bikini top on the hot days. It's a florida thing.

  • February 16, 2010 - 9:51am Tina

    I love vienna!!! She is so sweet to Jake!

  • February 15, 2010 - 11:27pm Amanda

    I'm sorry that jake ended up with some one he doesen't deserve. Because obviously Jake is a marvilous person and deserves 10 billion times better I hate to gossip but I wish Jake knew better like he said it's not about sex appeal it's about heart appeal!!!!!!!!!!!

  • February 15, 2010 - 9:41am lisa

    As I said from the beginning...I just knew she was white trash.
