'Bachelorette' Suitor Wes' "Girlfriend" Laurel Speaks Out
On 'The Bachelorette's most recent episode, Jillian Harris was crushed to learn from booted suitor Jake that Wes, one of the remaining contenders, has a girlfriend at home. Jake even knew the name of said significant other: Laurel. Meanwhile, Wes adamantly denied the claim.
But the woman in question, Laurel Kagay of Austin, Tex., told People.com that she is not Wes' girlfriend. Though they dated for three years, she said they decided to be just friends a year ago. "I'm absolutely not with Wes, nor would I be with Wes if he were going on a show to be with another girl. That's absolutely crazy."
Strangely, t
his isn't Laurel's only experience with 'The Bachelor' franchise. She dated former 'Bachelor' Brad Womack, who didn't choose either of the final two ladies on the show -- one of whom, DeAnna Pappas, later became a 'Bachelorette.' Laurel also briefly dated Collin Evans, a suitor for 'Bachelorette' Jen Schefft. Callit six degrees of reality dating.
But even if Wes, an aspiring singer, is telling the truth, the guy is shady and clearly looking to advance his music career. We still think Jillian shouldn't choose any of the remaining contenders. Who do you believe? Is Wes a good guy after all?
