Bachelor Star Jason Mesnick Apologizes

Jason Mesnick is very, very sorry.

The Bachelor star is apologizing to viewers and jilted fiancée Melissa Rycroft for telling her during Monday's After the Final Rose that he wanted to pursue a relationship with runner-up Molly Malaney. (Mesnick and Rycroft revealed this week that they actually broke up before the show, though that wasn't made clear to viewers during the airing.)

"I think what I want to do is to apologize to everybody out there," Mesnick said on Friday's Ellen DeGeneres Show. "All the fans of the show because — thank you for watching — but this was my real life and it was the hardest thing I had to do and I made some big mistakes and that's what I wanted to sit here and talk about today — the mistakes that I made.

"But in the end I found my true love," he added. "I really am happy right now and I know I hurt somebody that I never wanted to hurt and I really regret that."

He also said he regretted telling Rycroft about Malaney on-air, and denied being in touch with Malaney while he and Rycroft were engaged.

"I completely regret doing that. I regretted it every single day since that happened and I will regret probably every day for the rest of my life," he said. "The producers obviously really wanted me to do it on the show but I take full responsibility for my actions."

Malaney, who has been dating Mesnick for six weeks, told DeGeneres the couple has had a hard time with all the criticism of Mesnick's decision.

"Sure, this should be the happiest time for us right now but we're surrounded by so much negatively," she said. "We're just trying to stay positive and focus on what matters."

She also said she sympathizes with Rycroft.

"You know, there were moments where I sympathized with Melissa for sure," she said. "I was heart-broken by this guy too. So I know what she was going through, but I do give him (Jason) a lot of credit for doing what he did. Because he is standing up for what is best for him. I think if there is anytime to be selfish it's when love is involved."

This is exactly what I keep thinking. Her being hurt after being rejected by Jason was in part to bruised ego. She said herself that she has never been dumped before, this was the first for her. So it would feel different.

I remember being dumped once by an ex who moved away, I when I heard that he had moved on, It really hurt, that was the first for me, once healing come you see everthing differently. Molly needs an Alpha Male and jason is not it

, after all the dus settle he will come to realize that jason is not "it" for her. People keep on forgetting that the beginning of every relationship people will always say that they are in love, but after a few months, they start coming into their true feelings, look and Deanna and Jesse

Jason Mesnick: I "Shouldn't Have Proposed" to Melissa

Bachelor's Jason Mesnick admits he never should have proposed to Melissa Rycroft, whom he famously dumped for runner-up Molly Malaney.

"If I could go back again obviously -- yeah, I'm the stupid one," he tells momlogic.com. "I shouldn't have proposed. But at the moment, I thought I was doing the right thing because she was the right one. She was the person I always dreamed of. Why wouldn't I propose to the person I've always been dreaming of?"

He also says that Rycroft "definitely knew" their relationship was over before the After the Final Rose special.

"I mean our last conversation was: 'Are you gonna to wear the ring? Because you know we're not together,'" he says. "And I think that she probably had some hopes still that maybe I was gonna change my mind, 'cause she was really upset. We didn't talk a couple of days before we shot. And that's OK. No matter what I said, she was going to be upset."

Adds Mesnick, "I'm not as cowardly as it might seem or as much of a jerk as I might seem for doing it on camera. But that was my only chance to do it."

Rycroft has said she wasn't upset over the split; she was irked that he repeatedly lied to her about dating Malaney.

Though Mesnick did not specifically address her claim, he says, "I think it's fair for people to have the right to judge me" over the incident.

His mother -- who "liked" both Rycroft and Malaney -- warned him about a public backlash, he says.

"She said, 'You know if you go through with [this breakup], people are going to really look down on you,'" Mesnick says. And I said, 'But it's the truth, and if people judge me for following my heart, I can't control that.'"

How is his 4-year-old son, Ty, handling all the drama?

"Ty has no idea what's going on," Mesnick says. "As far as the girls, I don't think he's able to kind of draw a conclusion from that."

Bachelor's Jason Mesnick Surprised by Backlash

Bachelor's Jason Mesnick doesn't get why people are so outraged that he dumped winner (and fiancee) Melissa Rycroft for runner-up Molly Malaney.

"I don't know if the public expected me to just pretend like I'm in a good happy relationship," he tells the Los Angeles Times. "I mean, is that what people really wanted to see? Because that was the other option, but never a real option for me."

"It sucks that everyone thinks I'm dragging Melissa over the coals right in front of everybody because it's not true," he went on. "What's funny is that everybody loves the fact that I break up with somebody every week in the regular part of the show ... and now I'm being judged."

Mesnick says he ended his relationship with Rycroft on the phone a week before the taping.

He changed his mind about wanting to be with her "right after the holidays. She didn’t do anything wrong, but we had this great communication style where we could talk about anything while we were on the show, and then all of a sudden we’re together for longer periods of time afterwards and we just couldn’t talk about stuff."

He says there was no discussion between the two of them about how this might play out on TV.

"Her response had been, 'How do you want me to react to that?'" he says. "I wasn't going to coach her. I just told her that we were going to talk about things again [on the show] and however she felt is how she was going to react. I'm never going to tell anyone what to say."

He says he ultimately didn't ask Molly to marry him the first time because he was scared.

"We had this young, fun, friendship relationship with a lot of passion," he says. "People who have been together for a long time all say, 'The passion is the first thing to go.' In my regular everyday life I wouldn't have stopped dating any one of [the final three]. I would have gone and tried to experience more with each of them."

How is he explaining this all to his 4-year-old son, Ty?

"I don't know," he says. "I think that I want him to look at me and just say, 'My daddy had this crazy experience and it's OK to do some things differently from other people. It's OK that relationships don't work because that’s part of real life.' I want him to see how real it was and how hard it was for me and that how much all that pain was worth it in the end."

Asked if he would ever advise Ty to find love on TV, Mesnick says, "I hope Ty would be the type of person to think about doing something different, absolutely. I wouldn't say necessarily a TV show."

To me, it looked like what they wore when they filmed Extra.

The Bachelor Couple: A Rosy Future?

This is from the March 16 -22 print issue of TV Guide magazine.

Q&A: Everyone knows that Bachelor Jason Mesnick dumped Melissa Rycroft just weeks after proposing. But what’s kept people talking isn’t that he asked runner-up Molly Malaney for a second change, but that she gave it to him. Here, TV Guide catches up with the new couple.

How did you handle the initial rejection?

Molly: It was really tough. When I got back from New Zealand, I kept busy. There was a week where I was out having dinner with friends or going to the movies every single night. I never spent a night by myself.

Jason, how are you planning to show Molly you won’t change your mind about her?

Molly: Good question.

Jason: I would assume that Molly and the rest of the country know how much I love her by doing what I did. I made sure that she knew how much I cared about her on national television. I feel that took a lot of guts.

Molly: I give him a lot of credit for what he did. Because he could have just played along like [the couples] normally do on the show, and then break up afterward. But he didn’t. He followed his heart.

What’s one of the new things you’ve learned about Jason in the time you’ve spent with him since the show?

Molly: I’ve learned that he is extremely unorganized. I’m looking at his suitcase right now, and there are clothes spilling out of it.

Jason: Look at yours!

Molly: Mine’s not exactly perfect right now. But I am very organized, so I think we will be a great balance for each other.

What’s next for you guys?

Jason: We’ve got some trips planned. Her birthday’s coming up, and I’m going to try to get her up to Seattle really soon.

Molly: I’m looking forward to being a nobody and just Jay and I having fun.

Ummm...Molly, What about having fun with Ty too?
