Jake Pavelka's ex-girlfriend Christina Haney tells UsMagazine.com that he may have raised his voice at Vienna Girardi during their ugly reunion interview Monday, but he was nothing but a gentleman when they dated.

"I feel so bad for Jake," she tells Us.

In the five years that she's known him and the three years that they've lived together, Haney says she's never seen Pavelka, 32, act the way he did during the July 5 interview.

She tells Us Pavelka, 32, "thought people would understand why he got so upset with Vienna during the interview. She always interrupted him and never let him answer a question. Anyone would have gotten mad."

Haney says the show was "edited" to make him "look like a jerk" -- and Girardi, a 24-year-old former Hooters waitress, was good "with the tears and will get a lot of sympathy votes for that."

Haney just wishes Pavelka was able to defend himself more.

He just "didn't want to bash" Girardi, says Haney. "Jake still believes that people will figure out that she is bending the truth."

Pavelka is "upset" over the Girardi split, Haney tells Us. "She was so supportive of him at the beginning, but I guess she wanted some media attention too. I don't know Vienna personally, so I am not going to judge her, but I do remember how none of the girls on the show liked her, and apparently, her hometown has turned against her too. There has to be a reason for that."

As for Pavelka admitting that he withheld sex during his relationship with Girardi, Haney tells Us, "We never had intimacy issues -- ever. He really is a great guy who has just had some bad luck lately in choosing women."

    Jake kept saying that Vienna undermined him constantly, and that is what drove him away, yet it seemed as if he undermined her the whole reunion show. He was such an ass! Like Vienna said "he needs a girl that sits there and just looks pretty, but says nothing". I liked Jake before all of this, but he does appear as becoming a famehorror like Vienna said. He's cocky and has a big head!!! :(

    the look on jake's face is humility...he knew vienna would act a fool so why should he too. the look on his face is not a look of a liar...the look and drama on vienna's face is clear...she is an idiot.

    Vienna is an idiot! All the girls in the house didn't like her for a reason!!

  • July 08, 2010 - 6:52am Letty

    Jake is a jack@ss!!

  • July 08, 2010 - 3:44am Remember what Jake said to Tenley about "heat"

    I'm reminding myself of Jake's issues with Tenley and that they didn't have any 'heat'. Now it seems that's a real problem for him. At least he now realizes that he needs a woman to be totally subservient and all about him to keep the 'heat' going. Jake is a loser. With Vienna, what you see is what you get. With Jake, he's some kind of egomaniac with an inferiority "Napolean" complex going on in the background.

    So why is she suddenly Saint Vienna? Look at her past? Daddy's girl, always gets what she wants, well not this time! How much was everyone else getting paid to say these oh so nice things about Vienna? It works both ways folks!

    p.s. Stacie i totally agree with what you are saying!

  • July 07, 2010 - 11:20pm ontario

    jake makes me sick! you can tell by the look on his face that he is a liar, and how he talks to women just makes me sick! he is all about the fame and i will never watch anything if he is acting in it. I never liked Vienna, but i do feel for her and wish he the best without jake!

  • July 07, 2010 - 11:12pm lordhelpus

    TOTALLY AGREE WITH "ALL THE BEST TO VIENNA" COULDN'T SAY IT BETTER! DO NOT DOUBT JULIE'S STORY. HE IS TRASH!

  • July 07, 2010 - 9:54pm seriously

    Wonder how much this ex was paid for this interview and if Jake is "disgusted" that she went to a tabloid. He sure seemed to have issues with Vienna talking to the press, wonder if that's the case with all his exes, or just the ones that speak badly about him?

  • July 07, 2010 - 9:45pm Julie

    HA! I know her and Jake. We lived in Denton, they did not live together for three years! They dated for about 3 months! She broke up with him! Her and I went out for drinks like two weeks after and she told me he was, "wierd". This entire piece is a lie! Us, your a joke!

  • July 07, 2010 - 9:22pm All the best to Vienna

    I watched the interview and Jake on Bachelorette, Bachelor and DWTS. He is an a$$ and he'll never make it in Hollywood. What a egomaniac lying piece of trash he is. I was so disappointed he chose Vienna, but now I see he's the one who is garbage. It's clear that Vienna left everything behind to support him, and he was going thru his own issues being on DWTS and other things, and just wanted a woman who would be quiet and give 100% for him, and forget about herself. I give Vienna credit for standing up for herself and leaving him. She's honest and tells it like it is. Jake is such a loser, I wouldn't blame Vienna if she did makeout with the Greek guy. Go Vienna and live your life. By the time you're Jake's age, you'll be in a much better place. You (Vienna) will get thru this and be all the better for it. Jake on the other hand will be a nobody. Maybe he'll embrace his true gay tendencies? Whatever he does, who cares. I hope I never see him on TV again after his August appearance on the tv series who was stupid enough to have him do a cameo or bit part. He's got a bit part... LOL All the best to Vienna because she'll be OK and she did the best thing kicking Jake to the curb (with the GPS strung around his all too little manhood). All the best to Vienna's family and little dog too. Keep your head up and everything will get better. Always remember, "This too shall pass".

    Why is the general public so worried about Jake and Vienna's lack of intimacy? I have to say that to see a grown man choose not to engage in sexual relations with a woman he is not sure he can trust, or even respect should be commended. Good for him for not having sex for the sake of having sex. Intimacy is about sharing yourslef with another person...and trust and respect SHOULD be factors when deciding to be intimate with someone.

    At first I was shocked that several women are taking Jake's side but then my wife reminded me that women propose to prisoners every day! This is nothing but another publicity stunt to make Jake look good.....the only think that would make him look good now is to move back to Dallas and never be heard from again. Remember, he raised his voice at Chelsey and he also had a girlfriend when he started the bachelor - why didn't ABC kick his sorry butt off the show when they found this out!

  • July 07, 2010 - 8:42pm Annette McGiboney

    All the girls tried to warn Jake about Vienna. He would not listen. Bet he wishes he had. Why can't everyone see how rude Vienna was to Jake during the interview. Jake never once got to complete a sentence, without her interrupting. Was she that afraid of what he was going to tell?

  • July 07, 2010 - 8:33pm gdenise

    sounds like you were one of the bad women.You are so quick to join Team Jake, have you asked why he isn't being a pilot or why he feels like he's an actor now? He's a media freak who thinks that show made him famous.

  • July 07, 2010 - 8:30pm Tom

    Geez, more damage control by ABC and Jake's team. She lived with Jake for 3 years? Hmm he never mentioned that. He said that sex before marriage was sinful, and yet this chick claims he had no trouble doing the deed with her? Rrrrrriiiigggghhhtt. Sorry, US, ABC and the Pavelka PR team, you can't redeem his image. He's a loser.

  • July 07, 2010 - 8:22pm Carol

    I have no doubt this Haney person was paid for this interview, and hired by Jake's PR team. Don't believe one word from her.

  • July 07, 2010 - 7:53pm julie

    Well in my opinion i was not crazy about either one but she deserves an oscar for her perfomance on the special.Seriosly she had alot of nerve calling him a fame w***e i mean she really needs to take a long look in the mirror and then she would no the true meaning of w***e.
