'The Bachelor''s Melissa on Jason's Betrayal and Her New Man!

With fans still reeling over the controversial conclusion to this season of "The Bachelor", Melissa Rycroft shares her feelings about being dumped on national television with talk show host Ellen DeGeneres.

On a taped episode to air Thursday, Melissa explains to the talk show host that she felt betrayed by 32-year-old Jason Mesnick's controversial decision to leave her for runner-up Molly Malaney.

DeGeneres asks if the three could be ever be friends to which Melissa replies; "Jason and Molly don't quite have the characteristics of someone I would want to be friends with. I feel like on a level, they did both betray me."

That doesn't mean, however, that Melissa is sitting home jilted, and longing for Jason. The 25-year-old reveals to Ellen that she has moved on and there is even a new man in her life!
