Dating and Mating / She Said The Bachelor really is reality, off camera
Posted By Brittney Cason on Thu, Mar 17, 2011 at 2:09 PM
Reality TV isn’t always realistic. But in Emily Maynard and Brad Womack’s case, something really real came out of The Bachelor season 15 … them! I ran into the couple in Austin during SXSW last night at Chuggin Monkeys, one of Brad’s bars in Austin. And not only are they real, they are so happy and in love, they almost made me gag. She introduced me to him and he greeted me the same way all my friends' husbands do when they meet one of her friends: he treated me like one of his own.
Who is anyone to judge Emily or Brad and their relationship? None of us have walked in Emily’s stilettos. Our inner critic is harsh enough on us — no one deserves to be publically judged by strangers.
Emily and I first met during a Remembering Ricky Hendrick event, hosted by the Hendricks. I saw her after she had left 3 Wide Life and when I suggested she come back and co-host the show, she said she was working at the Children’s Hospital … and then asked me if I knew any nice guys to introduce her to because she was ready to date. All the more reason for her to go on The Bachelor.
Dating is hard enough. So let’s all just be happy for her that her brush with fame ended in love.
Oh, and if you're interested in keeping up with Emily on Twitter, you can follow her at her real handle, @rickismommy. (Fake handles include @msemilymaynard and @emilymaynard — creepy!)
