Jake Pavelka won a lot of hearts on ABC's "The Bachelor," but he has also apparently drawn the ire of a certain ex-girlfriend. Now, courtesy of TMZ, we have both a name and a face to attach to the strange digitized voice we heard over the radio earlier this week: Tanya Douglas.
Douglas first took her allegations -- that Jake professed his love to her in person following "The Bachelor" filming last year -- to print publications before jumping on the radio earlier this week and anonymously talking about her relationship with the Texas pilot. She said that Jake's behavior on the show was "a complete 180" from what she witnessed, and she also went as far as to call him a "liar." Pavelka has since denied any sort of crossover between past relationships and his time on both "The Bachelorette" and "The Bachelor."
The picture posted by TMZ shows Pavelka and Douglas in a happier time, though it's still rather difficult to say when this time was for them. As of this writing there is not any sort of concrete evidence to support Tanya's story, especially since Jake and his fiancee Vienna Girardi have appeared happier than ever during their visits to every talk show in the land.
Jake also doesn't have much time to address these rumors -- he's far too busy rehearsing for "Dancing With the Stars," which premieres in less than three weeks.
Who do you believe in this story: Jake Pavelka or Tanya Douglas? Let me know your thoughts with a comment below and stay tuned for more "Bachelor" news.

I do not beleive her Jake is right
Jake ex girlfriend is only trying to start crap!!! The girl only wants attention and money. Leave JAKE AND VIENNA ALONE!!! MOVE ON!!!!!!
I dont believe her...I wish everyone would leave jake and vienna alone!! they seem happy together and who are we to judge anybody
Can I just say this ex looks a lot like Vienna.. I'm jus sayin'
What's it matter? Honestly.
I am a friend of Tanya's family (for 32+ years) and to insinuate that Tanya is just after money is laughable. Jake has so many skeleton's in that closet of his (from his relationship with Tanya, to his limousine business in Dallas, to his dealings with ABC, to his supposed Christian values) that CBS could do a series called CSI:Jake. Unless you know the Douglas family, and you have first-hand knowledge of Jake, don't be so quick to elevate Jake to saint status. I hope Tanya releases all the texts and phone records so the "Faker" can be exposed.
I 100% believe Tanya! I think Jake is a douche bag! Even if she is doing it for the money, then all I have to say is "GO GIRL" you deserve it!
I believe Tanya 100%.
For those who know Tanya, she is a truthful, honest, honorable person! She has the proof on this guy and he is NOT truthful!
Believe her. I've known Jacob since he was in Jr High. He’s always been such a ‘want to be’ He’s telling the truth when he says he didn’t have very many girlfriends in High School. He was so boring and pompous. You would just have to know Jake. He wants to be a star and Vienna is just a means to that end. He will never marry her. She doesn’t have the sophistication that Jake wants. He’s not looking for a wife.
If you will take the time to view Tanya's website and her resume you will know she is so many digitals superior in IQ. and class. Tanya is a strong woman and she says "enough" is "enough" with the lies. She remained believing in Jake's lies until she began seeing his actions each week. I am behind Tanya 100 % call him out girlfriend for the fraud he is. This has nothing to do with Vienna.Tanya is taking a stand on Jake's character.
For those who think Jake is telling the truth. Bull! Tanya is telling the truth. I hope that Jake is put in the spot light and Tanya shows the proof. For those who say 'what does it matter' or leave Vienna and Jake alone' - he's a liar and he's betting that you will believe the nice guy act. He's a wanna be actor - always has been.
Jake is fake...I can tell by watching him. He is full of himself. I knew from day one that he and Vienna would not make it. She's ditsy. He's like all the other Bachelors on this show. They all want the attention and limelight, and if they get to make it with a few women along the way then that's just icing on the cake.
