One of the women who claims to have hooked up with "Bachelorette" winner Ed Swiderski after he proposed to Jillian Harris says she feels "terrible."

"I feel terrible," Lindsey Johnson tells Us magazine, fearing he'll play Jillian as well.

"As Bethany [the other woman who says she dated Ed during his TV courtship] has said, Ed has a way with words and this is what he did to both of us!" the 29-year-old Lindsey continues.

She also says she told Ed she planned to come forward about their alleged relationship. "He said, 'Lindsey, please do if it's going to make you feel better to get your side out and the truth out,'" she says.

Ed has denied they were dating. "It's actually not true at all," Ed told GMA of the claims. "I think Jillian and I have been the target of being one of the very few successful couples on the show. We're clearly being targeted because we're happy."

"If he can live with what he said on his conscience, that's his problem because he knows the truth and I know the truth and our friends know the truth," Lindsey fumes. "I mean, he doesn't have to deny it all and he doesn't necessarily have to confess everything either on national TV. He could have taken a middle road and said something more truthful."

She adds that she thinks Ed and Jillian will stay together "to prove that they are the one happy couple to make it."

  • I think the show was great this season! I think that Jillian traded one cheater for another with Ed. Ed was always too smooth and well memorized and that will likely never change. I hope Im wrong for Jillians sake!

  • Monday night will not be the same. In my opinion, Jillian Harris was the best of all the ladies on either the Bachelor of the Bachelorette from day one. I truly believe that she was looking for someone to spend the rest of her life with and raise a family. I hope that this will not be a problem with Ed and his past. If Ed did cheat on her, she would be so heart broken and may not date for a while until she heals from this terrible tragedy. I, and I'm sure a lot of you would agree with me.

  • Jillian - put on your sneakers and RUN, FAST!! Where there is smoke there is fire. You should have picked Reid! When two women are collaborating with the same story there has got to be some truth behind it. It is not worth it - get out now. I can't believe everyone is falling for Ed's story. Hit the road sista, you are one hot mama with PLENTY of suitors waiting to date you.

  • Sorry to burst Ed's bubble but they aren't the first couple to make it - Trisha and Ryan are. And I thought you were a snake from the beginning - you were right up there with Wes - both of you were there for the fame. Jillian - you should have gone with Reid or Kipton.
