JJ Lane - BIP Season 2 - Discussion

Ben was not with them today, folks. Ben was in Michigan at a Bachelor party for his buddy. He's been there since at least Thursday. The video was SENT to Ben. Also, Tenley has replied to people under the comments promising that her and JJ are not dating and are just great friends. So..there.

My mom and her friends met JJ at a restaurant/ bar last night. She said that he was extremely nice and talked to them and even took pictures with them. Also had an old friend run into him at the gym a few weeks back and she also said that he was really nice. Just thought I would share.

Oooh, is that what happened? He cheated on his baby momma? It does seem he at least can get some custody or visitation as he spends a lot of time with Gemma.

Now Ben, I want to hang out with you too, can we make that happen?

Not cool, AT ALL!

OTOH, having true repentance is the COOLEST!!!!!!!

(I believe that he is repentant because he is now able to talk about it as a hard lesson well learned)

I can agree with that. My ex-husband cheated with his now wife of 15 years. She was the right one for him, not me. I do also think you can cheat once and it is a mistake, but those who cheat more than once are cheaters and unlikely to change.

I don't know if JJ is a one time cheater or not, but I do know that it would take a pretty good explanation for me of why he felt the need to cheat on his wife who was bearing his child or just had. She wasn't just a baby momma, she was his wife. JMO

Important Periscope Tenley did just now about JJ. Take a moment and check it out!

A few highlights:

"JJ is a really close friend; we are not dating."
"JJ is an amazing man and an amazing father."
"All the guys on his season actually adore him."
"You don't know him."
"You have to remember that we are making TV shows."

-and the main part was that she expressed her disgust over the mean comments made about him on her picture w/ him today and suggested people either apologize or delete them.

Thanks Valentinebaby for sharing.

Apparently JJ was the emotional support in the house for the ladies. And everyone loves him.

Ashley I's snapchat story said that she's trying to defend JJ because she knows that MTA might not be good for him.

Premiere of #BachelorInParadise. Villains gotta vil ya'll.

Yeah, Ashley had said that she hated JJ after watching him on TV, was ready to go through and lash out at him, and now he's become one of her best friends from the show.

It's really hard for me to get past the whole cheating on his pregnant wife (or wife who had just given birth) and the fact that he dumped his girlfriend to go on BIP but people seem to really like him and defend him. It's hard not to root for the guy when you have people like Ben H and Tenley going out of their way to tell you what a great guy he is.

I see he joined the Beard Club.
