I don't think Jef even cares what Emily does anymore.  I am glad both he and Brad have been silent about her wedding. After Emily's testimonial about being curled up in the fetal position after her season of the bachelorette, I hope Jef just continues to ignore her.  

Never read that about Emily, but not shocked given she ended with Jef Holm.

IMO Brad's a decent guy. Jef Holm is a con artist.

Sorry. Not buying her being curled up and torn about her stint on the show...twice. If it was so horrid why come back for seconds? Not to mention all the pictures of her taken at that time shopping and going out to the gym. She didn't exactly seem all that torn up. Missy is just re-writing history to put herself in a better light since people wised up to her. Didn't buy it the first time and not buying it now. Same with Jeffy boy. Didn't drink the kool-aid so everything that came out later was not exactly a surprise. I did feel for Brad because he has always been a first class gentleman.

I don't see much posted about Jeff so I'm not sure what he is up to these days. It seems that his 15 minutes are up since I doesn't look as if anyone here is really bothering to follow him any more. I wonder if he will show up on BIP?

During Sunday’s sermon, Maynard said she was overwhelmed with humiliation after her experience on “The Bachelorette” and her engagement to Holm ended.

She said despite past tragedies in her life, she “never felt lonelier” than when she returned home from the show.

“No one knows that Emily was in the fetal position for three weeks because she was so humiliated at what her life had become,” said Chadwick after the service.

She returned home from filming  the show mere days after becoming engaged to Jef and having a little honeymoon with him on Mustique.   Then she started sexting that quarterback.  Of course she was distraught.  She should never have become engaged to Jef and she darn well knew that she participated in a sham.  It makes total sense to me that she would feel humiliated.

Her humiliation was compounded when Jef and the whole world found out the sexting details in August. She was probably in a fetal position after that too.  I feel sorry that her fiance died when she was 18.  But I dont feel sorry for her about her behavior on the show and post show.  She made those choices and she knew exactly what she was getting into.

Jef has spent over a year flitting here and there and traveling constantly, according to his tweets. He doesnt seem to work. He likes beaches.

Her sweet, sweet pastor is so naive and gullible.

As of late I'll say that Emily has redeemed herself a little with her actually doing some kind of work and settling down. I wish Jef would just DO something. Under 30, handsome, and smart, shame he isn't doing anything at all. Kiptyn travels a whole lot and manages to work with charities along the way.

There has been plenty written about Jef Holm. I'm not calling him out for being a con artist out of thin air.

People Water dumped him. His best friend and co-founder personally dumped him. Ari dumped him. He campaigned to be The Bachelor. He campaigned to be on Bachelor Pad. He showed up to the Juan Pablo WTA after party to hit on women from Juan Pablo's season, invited them to the house he owns for an after the after party. The girls learned he lied and only rents a room. He lied to Wet Paint about having a serious girlfriend prompting Ari to call him out as a liar.

That's what I know about and I never even bothered looking.

If anyone really wants a glimpse into 1Fs psyche...read what Courtney wrote about him and what he said to her about how to repair her reputation.

I wanna know.. what did it say?

You asked for it...this is just a small part but what horrified me the most:

"I knew the guy was shadesville the moment I met him. My intuition was confirmed again when he told me, 'You got a bad rap. Come build a well with me.' He said his People Water charity would do wonders for my reputation. He told me that I could shake a baby and everyone would still love me. Ew, what a cocky bastard," Robertson explained.

What made me ill was the "shake a baby" words. I couldn't even figure out what he meant at first. Then I realized and ...unspeakable. Who even thinks that way? And before anyone accuses her of lying, she really can't lie in a book like this without risking a lawsuit that would eat up the small profit she will make. She had to sign a contract that holds her personally responsible for any lawsuits due to falsehoods.

Two words: 
Eddie Haskell

If I compared Jef Holm to pond scum, it would be an insult to pond scum. He's vile and he always was.
He's been awfully quiet on twitter lately. Maybe he read an advance copy of Courtney's book.

Barf. Yuck. Shake a baby? Terrible.

Wow, that's disgusting.

And to think he paraded around calling himself Ricki's step dad. I'm glad that lasted only a hot minute.
