Bachelorette’s Jef Holm: Current contestants don’t say good things about Juan Pablo Galavis

Eighth season Bachelorette winner Jef Holm said Juan Pablo Galavis is “by far the sleaziest Bachelor” — a belief he said is perpetuated by talks with current contestants.

Emily Maynard’s former fiancé explained to Us Weekly he’s shocked by Juan Pablo’s behavior on the reality show.

“I think he’s a very interesting, very interesting Bachelor,” Jef said during an official Bachelorette party on Feb. 22. “He basically just hooks up with the girls.”

Reality Steve also reports Jef was on-hand during last Friday’s taping of The Bachelor Women Tell All — and heard all of the women’s gripes about their supposed Romeo.

Jef later told Us Weekly just as much: “I’ve had the chance to talk to a few of the girls from his season who have been at events and things, and I mean there are very few good things that have been said about him. I actually don’t know of any good things that have been said about him.”

Jef added people have different intentions for going on the show. He believes Juan Pablo’s were less than honorable, despite the Venezuelan’s protestations he wants to set a good example for his daughter.

“You can kind of tell the guys who are doing it for good reasons… Who really want to find somebody. He likes the attention, he likes the fame, he likes the girls to kiss him and hang out, and I just think people read through it a lot.”

In terms of what Jef’s doing now — besides Bachelor-related appearances — the People Water founder said he’s dating someone who he’s “really excited about.” He added he hasn’t spoken with Emily Maynard in more than a year, but wishes her all the best.

The Bachelor continues on ABC tonight at 8/7c.
