25-year-old Jed Wyatt from Nashville.
To think, somebody mightve gone onThe Bachelorettewith tainted intentions!
How did this all begin?
(He had to dabblein burlesqueto pay the bills.)
I was so clueless, he explained.
My first thought was,This is a huge platform.
I just want you to know the truth.
So I came in with that mind-set.
Now that I see who you are, thats all I want.
I feel something growing inside of me that Ive never felt before.
Im starting to feel like Im falling for you more and more.
Its beyond a show at this point.
Brown gave him a rose and fawned over his honestly.
Interesting strategy.
He said, Its probably not going to happen, but its a huge opportunity.
Im only doing this for my music.
He only did it for his career, she explained.
He wanted a platform.
He kept telling me, I dont want my dad to have to help me pay rent anymore.
He was always so reassuring.
He told me, its not real.
He said, Hey how have you been?
and I said, How do you think Ive been?
I asked him, You didnt think I deserved a phone call?
And he said, I didnt know what to say.
That was their final meeting, and they havent spoken since.
Has Wyatt said anything about this?
Were not being dramatic.
He seriously hasnt commented on Stevenss claims.
What else?
In hindsight, Im embarrassed that I let myself be on the back burner that way.
Im still a strong, independent woman, she explained.
I look back now and Im like, Why did you do that, Haley?
Why did I not just walk away?
She also stressed that Wyatts not a villain, and even defended him as a good guy.
