And poor Ashlee. Shouldn't she be on her honeymoon instead of waiting on RS for three weeks?
Sorry for ranting.

Say what?!! What kind of mental case, imo, forgoes their honeymoon to talk with RS? Hopefully this in no way, shape or form, had to prolong even a poop break for her.
ETA I realize Azzlee is not waiting to talk to Rusty prior going on honeymoon. That would be way to funny and pathetic.

Relax, y'all :P The interview has already been recorded; the only waiting is for when he releases it.

Question about why he sent it to the Bach Girls: He stated because their lives overlap all the time and they all get lumped together as BachNation. Says never involved with any of them....has had a crush and sent a dm...but never actually been with any of them. States that their lives cross all the time and wants to be able to talk to them openly. Good friends with Christen Whitney (sp?). She's living a life that she proclaims and he's saying he's living a clean life but he's not. Hard to be friends with him when everyone knows he's not being real. Has heard stories about himself...some that are true, some that aren't. Wanted them to know the truth from him.

Is this a publicity stunt for Paradise? Not true (according to James). Says his parents and the world think he's a good guy but he hasn't been. Says the response has been overwhelmingly positive. Felt good to get off his chest. Was always living in fear that something was going to come out about him. Says that producers may not be happy with him doing the podcast even. RS states that doing the podcast shouldn't affect chances of paradise if producers want him based on his past interviews with Justin Rego and Wes Hayden who both were on Bachelor Pad after being interviewed by RS.

Would he do Paradise? Initial reaction, Yes, but a lot has changed. Not mad that someone leaked the text to RS. RS says it's a positive that it was leaked to him. Thinks he got it because of everything that happened with Luke last week. Says very humbling and embarrassing as well. If you mess up, say it, own it.

States he was tired of hiding it and others are as well...is there something in particular he's tired of hiding? There's not one particular thing. Not every store needs to be told. For him, lifestyle. Who he was before the show was who he portrayed on the show. After the show he was truly naïve and girls were dming him and snapchat him like crazy and while probably terrible, was kind of fun. Every show he did was packed with beautiful women. After the show he would be drunk and the women would be fighting for which one was going home with him and he'd be telling all but one of the women that he was a good guy and wasn't taking any of them home but he'd leave one on the hook and that's the one he would take home and sleep with. RS says they don't care about James Taylor from Katy, TX they care about James Taylor from the Bette. RS tells a story about being out with 3 guys from the franchise and two girls walk up and introduce themselves to the guys from the show and told them they wanted to go in the bathroom and F these two guys.

James states that there were other girls that were nice and not all of them were shamelessly throwing themselves at him. He wants to not take advantage of them and be a decent guy. RS suggests that he personally reach out to the ones he did screw over and apologize to them. James states that he has to some of them...but the two specifically that RS knows about James says that's hard because he's fine with admitting guilt where he's wrong but he is scared to apologize because there are things they said that weren't true and if he responds to them they may take screenshots to the tabs and they've embellished their stories. He does go on to say he didn't straight up lie to anyone and say that there would be a future but he did act in such a way that led them to believe that. Says that he was deceptive to women.

What are you sorry for? Understand he's been promiscuous...but what's the apology for? If two consenting adults have sex, there's nothing wrong, why apologize? The main one is just for the example he's been setting. When it's all the time and after shows and having sex and never talking to them again...he wanted the BachGirls to have more faith in him and the guys in general that they're not all bad people. Example: (Preface it by saying: this show makes girls do crazy things) Respond to a DM with "Let's meet up and have sex" which he could easily do, but he didn't do that he'd say "Let's meet up and go for dinner." all the while with his intention being making them feel good and making them feel like he cares about them...but his end game is sex and he's never going to see them again.

I'm only halfway through.....RS drives me nuts!
