Chris Harrison Dishes on ‘Bachelorette’ Break-up

Chris Harrison opened up Monday about the recent split of the latest “Bachelorette” DeAnna Pappas and her former fiancé, Jesse Csincsak.

The host of “The Bachelor” and “The Bachelorette” told 104.3 MY fm's Valentine in the Morning: “DeAnna went to Breckenridge last week and broke up with Jesse. He was stunned. I’ve talked to Jesse several times today, and he did not see it coming.”

Harrison claims that Pappas leaked the break-up to the press early: “They also agreed that this was not gonna get out to the public until Thursday, they were going to release a joint statement and try and keep this above board, and she went out on her own, leaked it, and so he’s just feeling a little beat up right now.”

“He really truly loved DeAnna,” Harrison says. “He was so happy and he’s like, 'Let’s just go, let’s go to Breckenridge, let’s go to Atlanta, let’s get the heck out of here, and let’s live our lives. Let’s just get to know each other and hang out.'”

But Harrison says that Pappas has big Hollywood dreams. He says Pappas has been getting "bad advice" from people like “paparazzi guys, and other people that she’s been running into that have filled her head with, you know, these dreams that she’s going to come to Hollywood and make it big and do all this stuff. And I think her head’s getting a little bigger than it should and I think that’s led to this as well.”

Csincsac posted a Youtube video with his thoughts on the break-up.

  • Jesse Your're hot and I am sure there is alot of women that think so, Your blog seemed so sad, Deanna Does not deserve you, Apparently she does not know or want real love, it seems she is in it for the cameras and attention.

  • Well, I think it's Jesse who will be courted by Hollywood. Her is soooo cute in the way of a young Michael Douglas or Sean Penn. Someone like Jesse to me has much more appeal than a pretty boy like Brad Pit. Brenda

  • Did anyone buy that whole tearful episode when she was soooo upset with the guys just being guys? The "cook-out party" episode? That was her audition people. Wake up to all these women fakers and stop wasting your time with this whole reality premise. There's nothing real about it!

  • Deanna was all gung-ho when she spoke to Ryan and Trista. Marriage, kids, etc. I think Chris is probably on the right track. She has the big head.

  • I knew this was going to happen! I gave it 6 months......Jason should be thankful that he did not get realed in by Deanna! He is much better off, who is to say she would not have done this to him. As others have voiced, she does not know what she wants and the only reason she went back for another try is for the attention & glamour of it all. It is all about her. Yes, her head is way to big!

  • Sorry, to hear about the breakup, Deanna doesn't want a husband. She wants all the attention and she used Jessie. Jessie was true to her and this is sad. My prayers are with you. Scharlee

  • DeAnna was only in it for the fame. Jesse is such a sweetheart and by her choosing him she received even more attention. Jesse - you'll find someone that truly loves you and is not using you to get what she wants. DeAnna thinks too highly of herself and not enough about you!! Take care.

  • maybe she should stop bedding down with everyone that she thinks is the one and just try dating them for 6 months before you start acting like you are already married..... You wear that out and then you are ready to move on to something different.... She loves herself more than she could love anyone else...

  • She does not know what she wants, she's everywhere with telling all these guys on what she wants and then turns around and does the opposite. Jesse you are better of without her. And Jason is better off that she did not pick him or he would have been in this situation now.
