Lindsey Johnson, the woman accusing Bachelorette winner Ed Swiderski of three-timing Jillian Harris, talked to Us Weekly about her concerns and fears for Jillian.
"I feel terrible," Lindsey Johnson told Usmagazine.com Thursday -- the day after Us Weekly exclusively revealed that Swiderski was intimate with Johnson and sent flirty text messages to another woman, Bethany Steffen, after proposing on national TV.
"As Bethany has said, Ed has a way with words and this is what he did to both of us!" Johnson, 29, continues.
Johnson says that she warned Swiderski just days before the July 27 finale that she was going to come forward and tell her side of the story.
"He said, 'Lindsey, please do if it's going to make you feel better to get your side out and the truth out,'" Johnson says.
Later that day he changed his mind, texting her: "I think you should just talk to me if you have any questions." They haven't communicated since an Aug. 1 text in which Swiderski wrote "I thought you were over this?" that Johnson did not reply to.
Now that Ed and Jillian have both denied the romance rumors on Good Morning America, Lindsey says she is "disappointed" in him.
"But if he can live with what he said on his conscience, that's his problem because he knows the truth and I know the truth and our friends know the truth," Johnson says. "I mean, he doesn't have to deny it all and he doesn't necessarily have to confess everything either on national TV. He could have taken a middle road and said something more truthful."
Johnson also thinks that Jillian and Ed will stay together, merely to prove a point.
"That's actually what Bethany and I both did when we were dating him despite what people were saying about him to us," Johnson recalls. "There were so many signs. His friends used to say to me all the time, 'Lindsey, he does not deserve you. You deserve better.' And I would ask, 'Why would you say that? Ed is one of your best friends, and he is a great guy.' But they would never tell me why. Now I know!"
What do you think? Did Ed do it?
