Lindsey Johnson was with Ed Swiderski for 7 years in a relationship that ended just months before he would go on to meet Jillian Harris on The Bachelorette.

But People is reporting that things might not have ended there. Johnson and Swiderski's rebound girlfriend, Bethany Steffen, claim that they were both being strung along by the Bachelorette contestant while he was attempting to woo eventual fiance Jillian Harris.

From People:
Two women, Lindsey Johnson and Bethany Steffen, claim that Swiderski, a Chicago computer software consultant, was stringing them along while he was wooing Harris on the ABC reality dating show, and that he continued to do so even after he and Harris got engaged on May 24. The reports claim Harris feels betrayed and that her relationship with Swiderski is destroyed.

“I am not destroyed!” Harris tells PEOPLE. “There’s a little bit of anxiety that comes with this news, but I am absolutely not destroyed.”

“What did he do wrong?” Harris asks. “My biggest concern is with everything that happened after the day we got engaged, and after we got engaged he has been so open with me. He’s told me all of this, every little text message and every little phone call. I use his computer. I know that any communication he had with the girls post-show was platonic. I’m not worried about it.’

Lidsay & Bethany - If you are hurt by someone because he dumped you, and you bring it to a public forum. You don't hurt the the guy who moved on with a new love, but you make yourself look like a desperate stalker!
The best revenge is to always move on and be happy.
I believe this is not just the case of the women scorned. He is a sleaze bag that is not ready to settle down. He likes to tell a lot of women that he loves them. Jillian is just another knotch under his belt. He was in this for the 15 minutes of fame and possibly more visibility for his business. She is a stupid, loose broad who has low self-esteem and is desperate to find a husband. She cannot handle a nice guy.
