From Betrayal to Better Than Ever: How Jason and Molly Mesnick Endured One of The Bachelor‘s Biggest Scandals
Updated: Mar. 15, 2019
Arie Luyendyk Jr. became the most hated man on social media when he blindsidedhis then-fiancé Becca Kufrin by breaking up with her on-camera in order to pursue his original runner-up, Lauren Burnham. Some viewers of The Bachelor called it the most dramatic moment in the franchise’s history. But for longtime fans, we’d been here before.
10 years ago, 17 million viewers watched as the Bachelor Jason Mesnick, so beloved from his turn on DeAnna Pappas‘ season of The Bachelorette, broke up with then-fiancé Melissa Rycroft because he couldn’t stop thinking about Molly Malaney, the woman he broke up with in New Zealand.
It was painful. It was awkward. It was riveting. And it went down as one of the most iconic moments in the ABC hit franchise’s 17-year history and the reality TV genre.
It was a decision so “monumental” in pop culture that his name was turned into a verb—pulling a “Mesnick”—and ironically, it helped pave the way for the future of the franchise when many viewers at the time vowed to never watch again.
In fact, the show debated talking about it during Colton Underwood season’s recent finale, with Robert Mills, ABC’s Senior Vice President, Alternative Series, Specials & Late-Night Programming, telling E! News, “We were talking about it because it has been 10 years and those of us that have been here that long can remember it and we talked about how that was such a turning point.”
Before Jason, the 12 men who served as the Bachelor before him had either proposed or committed to a serious relationship with their final pick, with one glaring omission: Season 11’s Brad Womack, who became the most hated man in America when he ended his journey alone, dumping both of his final women (including DeAnna).
“That was like nothing we’d ever experienced before. It was very dark, it was very heavy.”
And it was their most dramatic ending her, until Jason came along and made a “monumental” decision that “overshadowed” Brad’s controversial ending.
“I remember back on my show, I told them I wasn’t going to propose because it wasn’t the right thing…their response back then was like, ‘Oh, that’s not how it works. We always have a proposal. We’ve tried it without a proposal,'” Jason recalled in a phone interview with E! News, acknowledging the producers deserve credit for “growing” and allowing Colton’s journey to end without a proposal.
“It ends up being entertaining in a different way,” he said of the former NFL player and his winner Cassie Randolph just figuring out if they even want to be together IRL before committing to forever because of the pressure-cooker environment the Bachelor franchise puts relationships in.
While Jason said he felt he had to propose, the franchise has always denied putting pressure on the Bachelor to get down on one knee at the end of their season, with Mills theorizing the idea that someone has to get engaged stems from the need for the lead to be serious about the process.
“I think [that pressure] stems from if you’re saying you’re going to be the Bachelor or Bachelorette, you have to be serious about ‘if I find the right person I am at least entertaining the idea of settling down with someone,” he said. “It doesn’t mean marriage. You have to tell us that a soulmate or life partner or whatever you want to call it is in that room. Maybe it’s not, but at least you’re open to the idea of it.”
