My mother is dear friends with Mrs. Mama Mesnick and knows for a FACT that Jason is a homosexual and has been in a committed relationship for the last 6 months with a fitness instructor from Tacoma. So, there you have it! J. Mesnick is a liar

I heard Jason Mesnick is soliciting callers for his new radio show on all the blogs, just shows you he was all about publicity! He is so disgusting!!!! I can't stand that pig.

i can't even believe ppl watch that crap?????harsh yes but the fact is GET A LIFE...I luv the Ellen show and wouldn't even know about the bachelor CRAP if it were not 4 my luv affair with the Ellen show...but seriously as if it isnt bad enough that it happened in the first place why in gods name would u go and give such CRAP even more air time?????????thats worse than the IDIOTS that put it on air in the first place xxx Pammy

HE IS NOT A MAN. HE IS A WIMP.

he really needa look back on what he says form interview to interview!! he really is a liar..

jason, ignore the negative comments and make it work with Molly. You have done the right thing!

Jason is a CELEBRITY WH...RE. HE made the decision to lie to Melissa. He made no excuses for it on JIMMY KIMMEL the nigth the show aired (go see on You Tube).

He's basically apologizing because he sees his popularity go down, not because he actually feels he did something wrong. When he says "I will regret this for the rest of my life". Melo drama again. Just like the balcony scene after Molly left. Poor Ty that he would choose to do the show and USE his son for popularity sake.

Both him and his EX (who is a wannabe actress too), are just bad role models for their son and a gross representation of people like them who just want ot be on TV.

The Bachelor show is a difficult journey for a decent man to take, but I truly admired the way Jason handled himself. Let's not forget that all of this happened within 6 short weeks of their lives. Of course there was going to be alot of confusion for Jason with sorting out his feelings. Those ladies were exceptional in their own ways. I was surprised and deeply saddened when Stephanie was sent home bc I felt they would have made a wonderful family. After the shock wore off, I cheered for Jillian. I saw a happy and adventure filled future for them as a family. When she left I thought Molly would be his choice. My jaw about hit the floor when he chose Mellisa over Molly. I felt like he made another huge mistake and I blamed Deanna's influence for it. He thought that she was there to advise him, when in fact, she was trying to tell him she made a mistake and followed her head and not her heart and that it was not too late for him because he hadn't asked either one of them to marry him yet, and that he still has a chance. She meant with herself. But Jason thought she was talking about Molly and Melissa. I believe that he took her advice and changed his choice from his heart to his head. Jason didn't just have himself to think about. Don't we all consider what's best for our children and make sacrifices and mistakes like every other parent on the planet? Molly was very mature and understanding when it came to Ty's initial rejection. If she had met him first, then he would have probably rejected Melissa. Parent shopping is hard on children.
It was unfortunate that he felt he had no choice but to break things off with Melissa infront of the world, but I was so proud of him for fixing his mistake and following his heart. That had to be the hardest time of his life, because he was under the microscope of the whole world.
They are not fish in a fish bowl. They are real people who have been through hell and back with their emotions and with the public's harsh criticism and judgement. Really people, who are we to judge. I bet over half of us in North America who watched this seasons Bachelor didn't find THE right person to share the rest of our lives with. Some of us will just stay for the sake of the children, convenience, security, fear of change, what other people will think, or a host of other reasons. Jason had the courage to admit he made a mistake and take all those steps to fix it. Sure, there was alot of embarassment all around, but the man deserves a medal. Best wishes to Jason and Molly and remember, those who matter don't mind, and those that mind don't matter. By the way, Melissa has moved on to another man already and I wish her nothing but the best for her.

Wow. All these nasty comments. All of you who live in glass houses need to take a step back and realize that these are peoples lives you are talking about. He is a human being just like the rest of us. Personally, I know what this is like. I was engaged to a great man and broke it off before we got married.. I just wasn't IN LOVE with him anymore. It was one the hardest things I've had to do in my life, but I don't regret it. We are both married now and have our own lives. Jason did the right thing by ending it with Melissa. Being strung along sucks. Better to end it now that years down the road ending in divorce.

Omgoodness,,,,lol I don't kill myself ta get home and watch reality shows,but have friends that do, and when I seen some footage on this bachelor one,lol ... I personally believe it was a publicity stunt,,,,,I drove a truck for a awhile and have been home for over a year, and I had NO idea of how dramatic our world is,, ahhh well,,, I guess it pays da bills tho,,,,

Peace, and Ms.Ellen, ur great, keep it up,,,, Shuree

What Jason did was totally uncalled for. This should have been done privately and not on national television. I was so glued to "The Bachelor" because of what happened to Jason with Deana. I lost total respect for the man (or is it jerk).
What happens next? Will he dump Molly for Jillian? What he did was wrong, wrong, wrong!

jason is a sick man... the only reason he regrets breaking up with melissa for the molly is because of the way the public reacted... jay leno did a skit of jason crying... he is seen as what he is a cry baby and nuts... molly isn't the sharpest tool in the shed... jason is a backstabber... he should have broken up with melissa off the air like a real man... but, he wasn't finished with his 15 minutes of fame yet... he used his son, melissa, and molly for attention... he's just a jerk who doesn't care about anyone but himself... that will never change molly... you better wake up now, for your own benefit... and, i think a man that leaves his family is a coward anyway... you dont make children then decide to leave... this guys on a roll... you stay with your family and finish what you started... jason you have proven your a loser and your own worse enemy... later

Jason made the right decision! Every day people break up it's just unfortunate that is what for everyone to see. I'm sure it was the show & producers that made him do this on national t.v.

Jason Mesnick is a pig I feel he felt he needed to hurt someone the way he got hurt with deona to to justify everything in his head!! He's a tottal player and has no concern for his son as he claims,because if he did he wouldnt bring different women in to his life every 6 six or whatever short time range he has done it in since he been on tv he introduced his son to 3 women who knows how many off cameras! He a jurk and he will end up dumping molly for something better that crosses his path and leave her hanging as well! Watch out for this soon to be bald played out player yes I saw his bald spot on the top of his head seamed to be getting bigger as the show progressed Karmas a bi**h Jason and you'll get your hopefully your son doesnt suffer from your selfishness!!

I think Jason did the right thing. There is no sense in continuing a relationship if it is not working out. Better to have found that out now instead of getting married and it fall apart later. As for little Ty, He will be just fine he will grow up and be taught to do the right things even if it means hurting someones feelings in the end. Good luck Jason and Molly.

He is a jerk and I don't know how Molly could have taken him back. What a mess. and poor Melissa....she is awesome.

I really think that Jason did the right thing. I just Love Jason and Molly toghether and i am really glad that he did what he did.
Nobody should judge Jason for what he did. He regreats now what he did. He is just following his heart.

The public viewers need to wake up and face reality. It is what it is with Jason and Molly.
If you ask me, Melissa was hiding something by not ever having the opportunity to bring Jason home to her family. So, maybe her true self came out in those 6 weeks her and Jason were together. I felt right along she was hiding something. Jason is such a nice guy that maybe he didn't want to admit on public television what really went on with those 6 weeks after the show. I still wonder in those 6 weeks if he ever met her family?? This is a show people!!! He had to do all he did in that time frame the show gave him. Would you have wanted him to go on with Melissa to make you all happy?? I like happy endings much better and I think Jason made the right decision.!!!!!

I think Jason and Molly are such losers, Jason for what he did to Melissa and Molly for taking him back. I feel like I wasted so much time watching what used to be my favorite show only to see this disaster happen on live TV. Jason just did it for publicity. Hillary, Jillian and Melissa are so lucky to be rid of him. He's not the good father he tried to make himself out to be. His son will be ashamed and embarrassed when he sees this when he grows up, unless he turns out to be just like his dad??. Jason needs to crawl under a rock and disappear, and take Molly with him. I will never watch the Bachelor again!

I love your show Ellen, I just came across this site and read some comments. I have noticed that everytime there are positive support comments for Jason and Molly than they are followed by a rash of rude comments. Could these be Melissa's friends and family doing follow-up? I think so, because nobody else really cares all that much, it's just a show and what ever happens will happen. Let it GOOOOOOO already. They will make it or break it on their own and not because of your comments. My mom didn't want us to get married and we are totally happy with lots of love for 38 years now.
