The Fourth of July was the previous day, but last night’s Jake Pavelka-Vienna Girardi interview on The Bachelorette may have been the most explosive display.
Together for the first time since the Breakup of the Century, the former couple began the segment in (fairly) civilized fashion before things got out of hand.
“I’m so mad at you and I’m just disgusted with you,” Jake said. “You are a fame whore, that’s what you are,” Vienna retorted. “You’re a liar is what you are.”
So it went.
In the climactic scene, Vienna tried to apologize, only to break down after Jake angrily raised his hand, forcefully ordering “Please stop interrupting me.”
She began to cry, to which Jake said, “again I got interrupted.” She then said, “You are the fakest person I have ever met in my life!” and stormed off set.
As their tumultuous and utterly predictable split continues to play out in public, Jake Pavelka and Vienna Girardi will discuss it Monday on The Bachelorette.
The duo sat down with their former host-pimp Chris Harrison to talk about the split for the July 5 segment, and let’s just say it’s as ugly as it is contrived.
A sneak peek of the interview reveals no big Bachelorette spoilers – just dueling accusations and blaming one another for the demise of a fake relationship.
Asked why they made the breakup so public, Vienna said: “Either way, our relationship had been public. No matter how we broke up, this had to happen.”
Right. There was no other option.
“The world was going to want to know,” she said. “I know Jake and I knew as soon as we broke up he was going to run to a media outlet and tell his side. I just wanted to make sure I had a voice also. I haven’t had a voice this entire time.”
Jake responds … well, presumably. The clip we have here doesn’t show that part, but he reportedly gets so pissed at her that makes a fist at Vienna at one point.
Girardi’s accusations are consistent with what she’s been saying all along, though – that he’s a fame whore who misled her. Dude doesn’t even put out!
There’s also the rumor that Jake isn’t into girls, but we’ll leave that alone for now. Follow the jump for a sneak preview of the couple on The Bachelorette …
Who says nothing good can come out of the sad unraveling of a fake relationship? For Jake Pavelka, his recent “heartbreak” led to some stirring acting scenes.
In an upcoming episode of Drop Dead Diva, Camille Guaty plays a reality star dumped on live TV by a Bachelor-like cad – played by the former Bachelor star.
In the climactic scene, Pavelka’s character Toby must choose between two women, and Guaty’s character, Wendy, goes into hysterics when he rejects her.
Pavelka had the perfect inspiration to play the villain, of course – he shot his scene last Monday, the same day he split with alleged fiancee Vienna Girardi.
For Jake Pavelka, it was art imitating life. Kind of.
“Jake literally discovered the shocking news about Vienna while on set, moments before shooting this scene for the first time,” Guaty tells Us Weekly.
As a result? “He did an incredible job!” the actress gushed.
Pavelka’s real-life heartbreak, she added, “gave him something to work with … I just told him to stay focused and use what happened towards the scene.”
Seems like it worked, according to his counterpart:
“Let’s just say that when we were discussing this scene beforehand, Jake found it really difficult to tell me that I wasn’t the one,” she said. “And after he heard the news from Vienna, it seemed like second nature to him … I guess we have Vienna to thank!”
Ahh, don’t we all, Camille. Don’t we all. Just hope he doesn’t make a fist at you or any of your Drop Dead Diva co-stars … things could get ugly fast.
Reuniting for the first time since the end of their fake relationship, Jake Pavelka and Vienna Girardi faced off in a joint interview on Wednesday night.
For a segment to air next month on The Bachelorette, of course.
The taped reunion between the fame-obsessed pair, whose breakup is becoming more bitter by the day, quickly got out of hand – and nearly violent.
According to reports, Jake Pavelka “exploded in anger” at Vienna Girardi and at one point turned toward her and pulled his arm back, making a fist.
It was a shocking display that left Vienna in tears, and left witnesses wondering if Jake might be getting ready to straight up whomp his ex-fiancee.
At another point, Jake told Vienna to “shut up” three times.
FAKE COUPLE, REAL DRAMA: That’s Jake and Vienna for you.
The Breakup of the Century is dominating headlines this week, prompting ABC to capitalize by secretly reuniting the warring duo for footage that will air July 5.
They had to know what was coming (possibly because they scripted it).
“Jake was visibly angry,” a source said. “At one point he wheeled back and I thought he was going to throw a punch. He pulled his arm back, his hand in a fist.”
Despite obvious tension and drama, a longtime friend of Jake’s insists: “Jake would NEVER hit her, EVER. End of story. The guy doesn’t even use swear words.”
ABC also denies that any punches or near-punches were thrown. “The atmosphere was emotionally charged,” the network acknowledged in a statement, but:
“However, and contrary to reports that have surfaced, at no time was anyone physically in harm’s way, nor was anyone ever threatened with physical violence.”
As Bachelorette host-pimp Chris Harrison tried to keep things from getting heated, Pavelka stood up in frustration, asking pointedly, “Will you just let me finish?”
“He couldn’t get a word out, it was very reflective of their relationship,” says a source, who adds that host Chris often had to tell Girardi, “Vienna, let him talk.”
Long hours. Intense pressure. No pants. Jake Pavelka can endure that. Handling the “popularity contest” that is Dancing with the Stars? He’s got issues there.
“I think dancing-wise, I’ve been doing OK,” The Bachelor star said. “The thing I wasn’t really prepared for was this is a little bit of a popularity contest!”
“I’ve been focusing 150 percent of my energy on learning dancing and neglecting the 25 million people who don’t know they have to vote to keep you on.”
Only 150 percent, Jake? Might wanna kick it up to 175, dog.
“Look at the competition,” he says, “and [Chad] Ochocinco has 800,000 people on his twitter! I have 16,000. By the way, my twitter is @JakePavelka1.”
Yeah.
Solid plug, J. He does raise a valid point, though many fans do vote for who they like (hence, Kate Gosselin lasted five weeks). Still, Jake feels he’s up against it.
“It seems like everyone else is established in Hollywood, or they’ve walked on the moon, or run touchdowns for the Bengals. Everybody has a huge personality.”
Well, the show is Dancing with the Stars, man. It’s not Dancing with Peeps From Other Reality Shows and Celebrity Gossip Tabloids So We Can Boost Ratings.
The future Mr. Vienna Girardi, who was “shocked” he landed in the bottom two at one point, has stayed out of it the past two weeks as the field has narrowed.
Think he can win? Do you want him too? Who’s your favorite couple in this popularity contest? Tell us who you’re rooting for on Dancing with the Stars below:
Jake Pavelka and Vienna Girardi have been engaged 10 days. Or one for each beautiful baby The Bachelor couple apparently wants to make some day.
“The other day it was 10!” Vienna exclaimed when her fiance told E! News, in response to a question about starting a family, that “We want five kids.”
Five. Ten. Either way, too many little Viennas for the world. Fortunately, she may agree. “No, no, no, like 2-3,” Girardi said, “but not for a few years.”
Pavelka and Girardi may be have babies on the brain following the romantic season finale of The Bachelor, but walking down the aisle? Not so much.
“We’re going to wait awhile before we start talking about wedding dates,” Vienna Girardi said. “We want to have some normality in our relationship.”

Fortunately for Jake, normalcy means taking part in reality show. The pilot is competing in his third of the last year, signing on for Season 10 of Dancing With the Stars.
Also par for the course for Jake? Controversy. The inevitable rumors that Jake’s been cheating with Chelsie Hightower, his cute Dancing partner, have already surfaced.
Vienna insists she’s not bothered by that noise.
“I actually love Chelsie,” she said. “She and I are very, very good friends. I was in the studio today, watching them dance… I’ll be sitting in the front row every week.”
No longer having to hide their lightning hot passion, The Bachelor stars Jake Pavelka and Vienna Girardi stepped out for dinner twice this week in Hollywood.
The somewhat embattled couple put on a united front – in front of the paparazzi at celebrity hot spots, natch – at Koi on Wednesday and The Palm last night.
Vienna Girardi and Jake Pavelka smiled and greeted photographers as they left last night, enjoying a nice dinner following their visit to Jimmy Kimmel Live.
Asked to comment on his alleged ex’s claims that he cheated on Vienna and discussed marriage with her, Pavelka shrugged his shoulders, shaking his head.
“Nah,” he replied. Bold, Jake. Bold.
Jake Pavelka: Two dates with Vienna. One blue turtleneck.
Although Pavelka’s so-called ex has given interviews on the subject anonymously, reports suggest that the woman in question is 24-year-old Tanya Douglas.
She says Jake promised her he’d come back for her, and the women on The Bachelor meant nothing to him. He says they dated but there was no overlap.
If the vicious rumors are hurting Vienna and Jake, you wouldn’t know it.
Walking hand-in-hand and sporting ear-to-ear grins on both occasions this week, the newly engaged duo certainly look like they may just go the distance.
Well, maybe. This is The Bachelor. If not for Molly Malaney and Jason Mesnick getting married last weekend, the show would be 0-fer. So, we ask you …
Jake Pavelka maintains that by the time he popped the question to Vienna Giraldi on the season finale of The Bachelor, he was a 25-woman man and nothing more.
Sgt. Josh Riley, former husband of The Bachelor hopeful Vienna Girardi, says Jake Pavelka shouldn’t make the same mistake he did and trust that vixen.
Riley, who was married to the abrasive, annoying 23-year-old blonde for 10 months, is now revealing what he calls her lying, cheating and stealing ways.
Not only is Vienna Girardi a pathological liar – “It was hard to know what was true and what wasn’t,” – the Marine says she cheated while he was in Iraq.
It gets worse. Josh says Vienna’s most shocking move came during their separation, when she slept with his friend and drained their joint bank account.
If Bachelor spoilers are to be believed, Jake Pavelka is f*%ked!
“He lived in a trailer next to mine. One of his housemates told me, ‘Hey, man, I don’t know if you know, but the ol’ boy had sex with your wife!’” Riley said.
“A month later, my friend admitted to me that it was true.”
Josh also said that, while in Kuwait, Vienna secretly removed $5,000 from their joint checking account that she later used to fund breast enhancement surgery. “I can’t believe I actually paid for her boob job!” a shocked Sgt. Riley said.
Now remarried with a 15-month-old son, Riley has a warning for Jake Pavelka, who has made Vienna one of the final three girls standing this season.
“I would advise him to run as fast as he can, but it might be too late,” he says.
“If he has any plans of marrying her, he should know she cheated on me, stole my money and even got me in trouble with the military with her big mouth.”
