Bachelorette star Justin "Rated R" Rego is lashing out at Ali Fedotowsky and the other guys for bashing him so much on Monday's Men Tell All special.
Rego -- who didn't attend the reunion taping -- was widely slammed on the show for two-timing Fedotowsky, 25. (Rego, a wrestler, had a girlfriend when he signed on for the hit ABC reality show). Contestant "Chris N" even called him a “s**t head" because he ruined a chance for another man who took the show seriously to find love.

In a statement to friends Tuesday, Rego said all the harsh words were unnecessary.
"Last night, as I sat at home and watched the Tell All Special, I couldn't help but feel sick to my stomach as I watched helplessly as my name and reputation were being tarnished," he wrote. “I was very disappointed by how low the show has stooped. I was mistaken to think that my exit episode was as low as that show could get. Was it just me or were they bashing me the entire episode??”
Rego said he was most disgusted by the show's producers.
"I am proud to say that I am not the kind of person that could be a producer for The Bachelorette," he continued. "Exploiting people and playing on insecurities and emotions, just to create good TV, is not my idea of a rewarding career!"

Tell Us: Were the guys too harsh on Rego?
Tell Us What You Think
117Though it is true that ABC shaves the footage down to spin the story in a way that brings in viewership, Justin showed his true colors by declining to attend the "Men Tell All" show, in order to redeem himself, if he were truly being targeted. Facing your critics is always easier when you are without guilt.
His drama scored big ratings for the show. Despite being jerk, I have to honestly say it made this season interesting. I loved how Ali grilled him.
Justin was hired by the producers to actually play the part of a two timing cheat. This was planned way before Ali's season even started. Also the Jason season too...when he choose the "wrong girl" give me a break....think about it people if it was the same ol same ol every season no one would continue watch. A lot of this stuff is staged for ratings.
Wow Justin, you sure have a lot of nerve saying how "low the show stooped" considering what you did was low two timing Ali and your girlfriend. You are the biggest JOKE to ever walk the reality show circuit.
Justin, r u really serious here. Nobody liked you from day one. You have a girlfriend & u think the show was a low blow. Man, you are the baddest of the bad. U were there for fame and yourself. Get over it Ali was too good for you dude. Seriously, who would want you. You got sick watching the show, you make me sick.
Justin WHO???? Hey babe.. your 5 min. of fame are over , please crawl back under the rock you crawled out of.-sore loser you...
Justin, if you wanted to clear your name and reputation so much--why didn't you appear on the "Men Tell All"??? Perfect opportunity!! Your a loser, just like Wes. You both blatantly do and say things right on camera, and now act like nothing happened---maybe the producers had a fake guy trying to get away from Ali running thru the bushes....yeah, right. And maybe it wasn't Wes that said directly into the camera that he had a girlfriend back home!! whatever.....live in your own little bubble...the majority of the public are not stupid!
Lisa, & Marie, your both idiots!! he did what he did, camera doesn't lie. Did he, or did he not, run away from ali when she was trying to talk to him---get real ladies, and use the brain God gave you!! On top of that, he doesn't even show up on "The Men tell all"---another admission of guilt!! "Nice guys" can do nasty things too!!
I thought it was just what he deserved, a bit dramatic for 30yr old men, but he started it and got everything he deserved.
You guys are jumping on a bandwagon and believing everything the producers of the show wanted you to believe because it meant higher ratings, Period! They do this every year! Weird that people don't get this ...
It's amazing people believe everything they see on T.V. Justin is a good guy, the producers designed this whole thing. The producers are the jerks. Does anyone read RealitySteve??? Come on people, it's all set up.
Justin had his own agenda and it backfired on him... He got his 15 minutes of fame...he just never anticipated the villan outcome... Be careful what you wish for!
Justin's a low life. He lied and got caught - end of story - handle it like a man or just shut up.
justin needs to stop "crying". He opened himself to this type of publicity when he chose to play with peoples lives. NO they were not too hard on him on Bachorlette and if he was worried that's the way it would be he should have been a man and be there to defend himself. You acted like a jerk justin,so just face and accept it
Does he still think he can manipulate people!?, I seen thru him before Ali did, and now everyone else does too!!!
What a d*uche bag!! I completely agree with Starla! I also noticed that the creep's ONE defender is not only an idiot for supporting Justin, but they can't even spell....it is "lady" - NOT "ladie"!!

Justin, you are an IDIOT and if you had any balls you would have shown up at the Men Tell All and copped to all your crap!!
JUSTIN.....what did you expect. You did blow someone else's chance, as did Frank. And, you were too chicken to own up to your two timing on the show.....and, again, too chicken to come on the Men tell All show......as ALI said off tape....grow some---you were there for all the wrong reasons.
