Megan Parris was voted by her fellow contestants to be kicked out of the house the very first night of The Bachelor, but as always there was a twist and she ended up with a rose. But on Monday’s episode, Jason didn’t give her a rose and it was her time to go… Thank goodness! This chick was NUTSO! Here are some highlights from an exit interview she did. Read below to see how she really feels about Jason, what her thoughts on the other girls were, the details behind her custody battle and what Jason really told her right before he dumped her!!!
Prior to the Rose Ceremony on Monday’s episode, you expressed concern that you had not gotten enough alone time with Jason. Were you concerned at that point that you may not be receiving a rose?
Megan: I was concerned. And actually — this is something that we didn’t see [on the episode] — it was a very good conversation between Jason and I… And he said “I’m so glad you’re here, you’re such a positive energy in the house.” And I said “You know, that first day at the pool party when you pulled me aside and said ‘Megan, I want you here. You would’ve gotten a rose anyway,” I really appreciate that Jason.”
And he said “Well I want you to know that I still mean that, I still want you here. Don’t be afraid that you haven’t gotten to know me yet, there’s still plenty of time. I was one of the guys who got to know [DeAnna Pappas on The Bachelorette] last.” He reassured me and said “I was just like you, I got to know the guys first and wanted to have fun with the guys, and then get to know [DeAnna], so I respect that you wanna get along with the girls in the house and that’s fine, but just know that there’s plenty more time for us to get to know each other.”
Jason has seemed to make it pretty clear that, being a single dad, he wanted to find a someone who was going to be able to relocate to Seattle because his son [and his son's mother are] there – given you’re a single [parent] too, would there [have been] any custody or visitation issues that would have complicated relocating for you?
Megan: I actually have full physical and full legal custody of my son. His father has no visitation rights. Funny enough, I was actually just weeks fresh off of my custody battle before I went to L.A. to do this. It was all very last minute for me. I flew from the finalist weekend to Virginia Beach for the custody battle court case. So no, there would be no issues as far as where I can go and where I can’t go.
I did, however, express to Jason that I have commitment issues, which was probably pretty stupid of me to say — and I dubbed myself “the runaway bride,” which is a bit extreme. I was engaged to my son’s father but backed out before my son was even born. But I definitely let [Jason] know that I’m an independent person and that I was Deacon’s only parent and that I was fine with that.
The juiciest details out of the jump…
