Laurel Responds to Wes’ The Bachelorette Controversy

Posted by Shane on Tuesday, July 7, 2009 at 5:15 pm

Although Wes indicated after his ouster in The Bachelorette Season 5 Episode 8 that he was the only guy to ever get to the final four with a girlfriend, Laurel Kagay tells People that that girlfriend is not her.

“I was like, ‘What?’” Laurel, 29, tells PEOPLE. “There was this pause before he said my name — and then he said it quite a few times.”

Laurel tells the same story Wes told. They dated for three years, but now they’re friends. “I’m absolutely not with Wes, nor would I be with Wes if he were going on a show to be with another girl,” she says. “That’s absolutely crazy.”

She also wants us to believe he’s less of an unfeeling womanizing self centered stick in the mud than we have seen. “They have not shown Wes’s real personality at all. He’s so funny. When I was in a relationship with him, we were always laughing and having fun. And I never worried about him cheating on me.”

The sordid tale doesn’t end there. In addition to her relationship with Wes, whether it’s over now or not, Laurel also dated Brad Womack, the guy who didn’t want anything to do with any of the 25 hand selected beautiful women during his season of The Bachelor.

As if that’s not enough, she additionally dated Collin Evans, who was on The Bachelorette 3.

As for Wes, she apparently wants Jillian to be dumb enough to give him a shot. “She seems to have fun and has a good personality,” Laurel says, “and he’s really fun and funny. Too bad all this craziness had to go down.”

    Actually Wes has showed how smart he really is …. Goes on a dating show. Screws over the woman and wants fans to run out and buy his CDs. Hey Wes, how many women do you think will run out and buy that CD? Wonder if your girlfriend was sitting at the dinner table on your home date? Maybe that really wasn’t your sister??? What people will do for a dollar!!!
