Jake Pavelka and Vienna Girardi insist they are done talking about their very public breakup but that doesn’t mean fans are ready to lay the relationship to rest.
On Monday night, I wrote about the reunion special on ABC where Jake and Vienna sat down for the first time since their breakup. I asked all Twirlit readers to tell me who’s side they were on and, after 166 comments, it was fair to say that fans were split down the middle.
Here are the 10 best comments from our readers:
10. Team Vienna. Jake is a transparent mysoginistic douchebag. He blatantly manipulated and used that girl. He should be ashamed of himself. – Joe
9. Vienna! Jake treated Chelsea the same way; the ex-girlfriend had him pegged long ago! – Kathy
8. Watching the show made me want to punch Jake the jerk in the face! What an A-hole!!!!! – Barbara
7. Did you see the way Jake treated Chelsie on Dancing with the Stars? She was trying to teach him dance steps to help HIM WIN, and he told her off, saying to stop correcting his dance moves. He said, “I’m not asking you Chelsie, I’m telling you.” Can you believe that crap?! Then the next thing we saw is Jake telling Chelsie she was “disrespecting him.” Wow. He has insecurity issues BIG TIME, is defensive, and mean. He only came back the next week and apologized to Chelsie cuz it ruined his votes on DWTS. Even Reality Steve is on TEAM Vienna. And he follows this stuff closer than anybody. – June
6. Team Vienna. Whereas Vienna can recall specific incidences, the Asshole could not pinpoint anything about Vienna’s actions, just her reactions. All he could comment is her dissatisfaction of him. He is an egotistical jerk who cares only for himself. No one should put up with that type of abuse. – Isabella
5. I believe Vienna. Jake seems like a maniacal control freak who can’t stand it when he’s “undermined.” Of course, it would have helped if he truly knew the meaning of the word. He’s a media whore and is a disgusting human being. – Kerry
4. Oh dear! Vienna is overemotional, immature and self-centered. Jake is hostile, controlling and narcissistic. They both need to return to a normal life and grow up a bit. This is a morality play about cheap fame. – Star
3. My first husband was a complete sociopath and when Vienna was describing her relationship with Jake and the way he was responding to her, it was a complete flashback. That guy has problems and has the looks and teeth to cover it up. Go girl! And I mean it literally. – Severne
2. Jake! I think he’s put up with her childish brat arse much longer than most. Her incessant chatter and intereruption would make me lose my patience way sooner. And oh yes, I’m a girl, and she embarasses me. Jake I’d date you any day. You need an adult not an trailer brat. – LH
1. Jake is an arrogant, mentally abusive, demeaning, controlling, temperamental, smug, and cold-hearted snake of a man. Vienna, good thing you got away from him before further abuse was inflicted. Now that he has exposed his true demeanor on national television, he may need to retreat to the cockpit (no pun intended). – Monica

It’s no longer (NICE GUYS FINISH LAST) it’s (TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE).
Jake is nothing but a coward and an abusive man. The emotional abuse was evident last Monday night and previously with his exchanges with Chelsea on DWTS), not far long before the physical abuse starts. Vienna, you are far better off, you have the rest of your life ahead of you, make smart decisions and respect yourself. I don’t believe for a second you have been dishonest. (REMEMBER IT’S WHAT HE VALUED YOU IN – YOUR HONESTY NO MATTER HOW BLUNT, SO WHY IT DOESN’T MAKE SENSE THAT YOU WOULD BECOME DISHONEST…..RIGHT?) He’s spineless, manipulative, insincere and NEEDS A MAJOR PERSONALITY ADJUSTMENT!! As for your parents Jake and your siblings they should be disgraced by your behaviour or does the apple not fall far from the tree and that is what your Mum was referring to about the girls having each others backs???? hmmmm I wonder, well Congratulations, the bright lights of the big city have brought out your true colors….Well done L.A. I find it appropriate to tell you to go fly a kite. I really hope those that supported you only to be disappointed by your actions don’t have to see you on TV anymore. I know I’ll be switching the channel. You don’t deserve societies respect or support.
