Bachelorette article
Surealityjunkie | Monday, February 17, 2003 - 09:32 pm     Bakerygirl, The cocaine article was about Russ. It was talking about the fact that one of the Bachelors that she let go was recently seen doing lines of cocaine with some other Bachelors and friends... basically the same stuff we knew already. They just put a spin on it to look like she had a problem. Also, I saw a similar article about Charlie in the National Enquirer over the weekend about him not having a job and being a player. They interviewed some exes and one said she was shocked about his story about an ex leaving him for his good friend. She said she introduced Charlie to her best guy friend so there would be no jealousies between the two men. Then they became friends, she & Charlie split up, and she hooked up with her friend romantically... It's a long drawn out story but that is the jist of it... |
Surealityjunkie | Monday, February 17, 2003 - 09:36 pm     http://www.nationalenquirer.com/stories/feature.cfm?instanceid=56121 Here's the article: FAIR WARNING FOR THE BACHELORETTE -- CHARLIE'S NO GOOD! "Bachelorette" Trista Rehn has been hot for hunky Charlie Maher from the very first episode, but his ex-girlfriends have a message for Trista: Look out! Trista & Charlie While Charlie's profile says he's a successful account executive looking for love, ex-girlfriends say he's an unemployed, unsuccessful day trader, a party-hound who's not looking to settle down. One ex-girlfriend said he broke into her e-mail account to spy on her love letters to her fiancé. And another said he slept with her just two nights before leaving to film "The Bachelorette." Charlie, 28, told Trista on national TV that an ex-girlfriend he deeply loved broke his heart when she cheated on him with a good friend of his. But The ENQUIRER tracked down Charlie's ex-girlfriend and she says the party-hound is a lying dog! The ex-girlfriend is student Mollie Arbizzani, 26, who dated good-time Charlie from mid-2000 until October 2001. She worked as a bartender at a club in Manhattan Beach, Calif., near Charlie's apartment. "When I heard what Charlie told Trista on TV, that I broke his heart and cheated on him, I got sick to my stomach," Mollie told The ENQUIRER. "Nothing could be further from the truth! "Before I ever met Charlie, I was a friend of my current fiancé Josh Henretig. "After Charlie and I started to date, I didn't want to make Charlie jealous of my friendship with Josh so I introduced them to each other. Charlie and Josh became casual friends. "After a few months of dating me, Charlie quit his job as a project manager for a plastics company. He told me he wanted to venture into the stock market as a day trader. "Well, it was the wrong time for Charlie to change jobs. The stock market took a turn for the worse. He complained on and on about how much money he lost -- around $40,000. "I soon realized Charlie wasn't going to be the love of my life. He talked on and on about cars and made derogatory remarks toward women. "He needed to grow up. He was into partying and having a good time. I was looking to be in a serious relationship. "In October 2001, I was getting confused about my feelings for Charlie and Josh. I had to get away, so I moved back to my parents' house in Montana. "At this point I'd never had any physical relations with Josh. "Josh and I started e-mailing each other several times a day, telling our deepest feelings toward each other. "Then Charlie called me and told me he came across an e-mail I had written to Josh. He accused me of having a love affair with Josh and cheating on him. "I later found out he'd been reading all the e-mails I'd been writing to Josh since I arrived in Montana. To this day I don't know how he got access to my e-mails. I can only assume he somehow got my password. "Getting rid of Charlie was a good thing for me." Mollie has now moved to the Seattle area with Josh and the couple are planning a summer wedding. The ENQUIRER tracked down another of Charlie's ex-girlfriends and she told us that there's nothing real about his stint on reality TV. Shawn Codrea -- a 34-year-old medical salesperson -- told The ENQUIRER: "I spent the night making love with Charlie two days before he was going to be leaving to film 'The Bachelorette.' "We started dating in December 2001. And when I first heard about the premise of 'The Bachelorette,' I laughed, knowing Charlie like I do. He's not the marrying type -- not even close. "Charlie told me he was going on the show only to get attention. He said he wanted to be a model and this would be great exposure for him. "Charlie's been out of work for several months. "He told me he was a day trader but I never knew him to hold down a full-time job. "He's called me a few times since the show has ended. One time, he wanted me to come over to a bar and watch 'The Bachelorette' with him. "Charlie is a big kid at heart who doesn't want to grow up -- and who needs to find a job!"

Djgirl5235 | Tuesday, February 18, 2003 - 04:47 am     Oh My!!! I wonder if Trista actually does choose Ryan??? |
Ginger1218 | Tuesday, February 18, 2003 - 07:24 am     we can only hope |
Ginger | Tuesday, February 18, 2003 - 01:28 pm     Oh geez...I hope she did choose Ryan. I seriously am not surprised by this story at all--it simply confirms the vibe I get from Charlie from the beginning. (However, I still think it's perfectly fine for him to have had sex before going on the show. Was he supposed to be faithful to a women whom he'd never even met?) |
Brenda1966 | Tuesday, February 18, 2003 - 02:10 pm     No reason for me to defend Charlie, but I can't help but wonder what kind of women would sell their stories of sex with him to the Enquirer? Only a bitter or money hungry one in my eyes. Besides, that rag is not known for honesty so we can't put much weight behind it. Charlie is hot and young so I don't doubt he's done his fair share of chasing and womanizing. But maybe he's maturing. I'd sure give him a chance to prove that story wrong if he'd let me. |
Emt911 | Tuesday, February 18, 2003 - 02:23 pm     Since Trista made her choice a few months back, these articles wouldn't influence her decision, anyway. Why would these people come out of the woodwork now? It doesn't change anything about what happened already on the Bachelorette. I hope they got paid very little. And I still hope Trista picked Ryan, although I said she would pick Charlie because I need the points and think that's who she does choose. I just prefer Ryan myself. |
Djgirl5235 | Tuesday, February 18, 2003 - 04:28 pm     My thoughts up above where on the sarcastic side of the scale, since I've believed from day one that I thought she chose Charlie, and still do. One thing that we have to take into consideration is where this information came from... first of all... jilted ex-lovers reporting to the National Enquirer... JMHO of course! On another note, I completely agree with Brenda... nice to see you around! |
Brenda1966 | Wednesday, February 19, 2003 - 10:31 am     Hi DJgirl! Did anyone else see Trista on Leno last night? She indicated she has seen her guy a few times since the show ended but they couldn't stay at hotels and stuff because they couldn't be spotted. I didn't get much else out of the interview but I was trying to fall asleep at the time. |
Djgirl5235 | Wednesday, February 19, 2003 - 11:04 am     WOW, I can barely make it past 9:30 pm right now without falling asleep, I definitely missed the Trista interview on Leno! It's all I can do to stay up to watch the end of CSI!!! LOL. Serious Feb "blaws" meaning I'm extremely dragged out right now... |
