Exclusive: Bachelor's Vienna Obsessed With Ex During Filming

"She wants to get back together with him," a source says in the new issue of Us Weekly. Indeed, multiple Girardi insiders confirm to Us that Girardi, 23, remains head over heels for Smith -- to perhaps unhealthy extremes.

When The Bachelor on the Wings of Love wrapped production in November, Girardi rushed home to reunite with Smith at his Florida apartment. To her surprise, Smith had already taken up with a new woman, local waitress Cassie Heaberlin. "[Vienna] got so angry that she walked right into the house and went to the bedroom," one source reveals.
She even physically threatened Smith and Heaberlin, another insider claims. The couple "woke up to see Vienna standing at the foot of the bed holding a wine bottle, like she was going to hit them with it."

If she was so in love, why would Girardi participate on The Bachelor? "She was just on to be famous," a source explains. "She never thought she'd make it so far."
It was Smith, in fact, who hooked his then-girlfriend up with a Bachelor casting director. And when Girardi left to film the show, "Vienna told Lee she'd be back for him."

Tell Us What You Think
116so when jake glances into cross eyed viennas eyes, how does he decide wheich eye to look in?
All i can say is, Vienna is so white trash. If he's smart he'll get out of before the wedding. RUN!!!
Vienna is so white trash, why do guys always think with whats between his legs? ITs NEVER going to last, she's 23 and immature and not even good looking, i seriously couldnt even watch the proposal it was too painful
Jake said he went with his heart...his heart doesn't have a brain..neither does his head..his brains are between his legs..Vienna was good in the sac..his lust for her will die..She is a liar..a wanna be porn star..she's not pretty and she's cross eyed..or is jake? and her Father??? somebody please run him over..Jake,RUN FOR THE HILLS!!!
OMG I wanna gag! I would really like to know what is up with that so called "Promise Ring" that Vienna's Father gave her? I have been bothered by that all along, but last night when she gave it the "Dip" that he gave back to her before he slipped the $42,000.00 Engagement ring on the Bimbo's finger, I bet she will run like hell with that 1, did I miss something here? I have never known a Father to give his a daughter a so called "Promise Ring"...Someone help me understand the strange relationship she has with her father, I agree with most it won't last if it does then I will be totally blown away! They do derserve each other there both so Imature, Fake and have NOTHING going for them ,I highly doubt Jake is even a Pilot anymore I bet he lost his job long ago...
It's gotta be a publicity stunt... Jake is probably setting himself up to look like Vienna left him broken hearted when he ends up single again and ready for round 2 of the bachelor!
jake acting like a wimp how do you fall in love with three or four ladies? and for him to take the blind fold off. peaple are telling him about vienna. hope he opens his eyes be for its to late shirley
The eyes are th window to the soul. Besides her lazy eye, which totally creeps me out, Vienna has an evil soul. Just look at those eyes.
Jake is a friggin' IDIOT who couldn't see through Vienna. What a stupid stupid fool who gets what he deserves. You would think he'd be smarter at his age, but obviously he has poor social skills.
More lies from your magazine. Why am I no longer surprised? Vienna and Lee aren't a couple and haven't been for quite some time. I guess everything is okay as long as it helps sell your rag.
WOW! Vienna is CRAZZZYYY!!! Man I was so Pissed when Jake sent Gia home, was he blind?? Vienna looks like the man version of malibu barbi, and Tenley I like but Gia she was the real deal! Jake make the smart choice Choose Tenley. I honestly think he is going to brake both girls hearts and not propose to either one. Imagine how angry all the fans will be, but so predictable!
All these here women are snappers!!!! I wonder if they cleanse their snappers!!!
At the end of the day Ali is a solid girl! She has to take care of her self. She wasan't born with a Mommy Or Daddy to take care of her. I respect her balance in life.
Can you imagine Vienna with Jake and his friends and their wives....
I just cant get over Viennas lazy eye. everytime i look at her i feel like im going cross-eyed! Eeww and shes sooo NOT for Jake!! White trash..... 4 sure!I think he should of picked Gia! They were a nice fit.Maybe Tenely, but her voice is kinda irritating.And u jake Mr.supposed nice guy, have seem to become quite the player in these last episodes!Ur in LOVE with 2 women? I have a feeling ur not picking either one and this was just a waste of time & money for the show!!
I post this in hopes that Jake will one day read it. Only then it will be too late. Oh Jake, Jake, Jake why must we go down this road, again? Why is it so obvious to the viewers and everyone else involved but not to you. You come across on national T.V. as this really nice, well rounded, strong, gutsy and capable man. Then out of left field you make such stupid choices. What could you possibly see in Vienna that makes you think she is capable of a long term committment in marriage(at this time in her life, to be fair) She in no way has the ability to grasp the responsibility of what that means. The women from the show may not have been able to put into words, yet, just exactly what is wrong with Vienna but sooner or later, stronger than any words can express, I have a feeling your gonna find out. Why be so stupid, and why waste so much time. I think the old saying goes something like this. "If it looks like a snake, hisses like a snake, it's usually a snake.(Something like that) Well anyway, if you are truly and sincerely looking for someone who has the understanding and ability of committing to marriage, then Tinley is your gal. You shouldn't hold her previous marriage against her. She couldn't control the poor choice her ex made. She's seems like she's a great person with an in depth ability of understanding people. Well, hope you don't have to learn the hard way. Be the man the bachelor fans deserve to see for a change. Be the man we all hoped you were. Make the classy choice and be the prince, not the cheesey mistake and becone the cheeseball.
this girl is evil just like the dirty dog that is sleeping with my son her husband is firghting for us in the war while she is humping my son like a rabbit she is EVIL run jake FAST
This magazine is trash!
This 'ex' has an ax to grind. He was arrested on Oct. 10, 2009 per Police Report 200950006756 and then brought to Seminole County Jail for willful trespass of the Girardi residence. Hmmm, talk about reporting without verifying facts.
Did this writer know of a police report repudiating this "Vienna Obsessed with Ex"? This police report paints a different picture of this ex-boyfriend. To see report go to radaronline for details.
