In a recent interview with blogger Reality Steve, Wes Hayden attempted to clear his name after being portrayed as the "most devious" contestant in Bachelor history.

Wes believes ABC took his words and edited them in a way to make him look like the bad guy. The full interview is 85 minutes, and is available at Reality Steve's blog. Though he realizes his reputation could be affected by appearing on the show, it seems the network went too far.

After being accused of having a girlfriend, being on the show solely to promote his music career, and allegedly telling fellow contestant Jake Pavelka that was "in cahoots with" girlfriend Laurel, Wes wants to make sure everyone realizes that the show was edited to boost ratings.

In his "Diary of the Departed" clip on ABC, Wes shows a much softer side. He makes clear that he really did have feelings developing for bachelorette Jillian Harris.

"I hate it for Jillian. I hate that she has to go through this," he says. "She knew last night that it wasn't right. I could feel the vibe. I could feel the tension."

In the video, Wes says he doesn't think Jake ruined his chances. "I think that me and Jillian were either meant to be or we weren't meant to be. I really did have feelings for her. I think she's a wonderful, wonderful woman."

Wes finishes by saying he just wants Jillian to be happy and thinks she and Kiptyn would make a great match.
