It looks like ‘The Bachelor’s golden boy has a dark streak, as a new report says that charming businessman Sean hooked up with a contestant prior to his series and then never called her. Ouch!
Sean Lowe has his heart broken by Emily Maynard on The Bachelorette, and now it looks like he is the one breaking a heart. Before he began his journey for love on The Bachelor on Jan. 7, he hooked up with former contestant Jenna Burke in August 2012, and then ignored her the next day. That’s not how you bag yourself a fiancée, Sean!
Jenna Burke & Sean Lowe Hooked Up Last Summer
Sean met Jenna at a charity event in New York in August, where things got hot and heavy! Jenna, who was a contestant on Ben Flajnik‘s season — she only lasted for two episodes — took a shine to Sean immediately, but she got burned.
“Sean and Jenna had never met before, and they really hit if off,” a source tells Star. “They spent that whole first night flirting and whispering with each other, and it looked as if a romantic bond was forming between them. Jenna seemed especially smitten with Sean — especially after he let it slip that he had been selected as the next star of The Bachelor. It wasn’t announced publicly until a month later.”
It looks like Jenna may have a had a game plan, as she later begged producers for a spot on Sean’s season. But things turned sour fast, as Sean seemed to only want a one-night thing.
“Jenna went back with Sean to his hotel room and stayed the night. The next evening, at the charity event in Philadelphia, Sean barely paid any attention to her — like she wasn’t even there. It was a side of Sean I never thought I’d see,” says the source. “And it really hurt Jenna.”
Is Former ‘Bachelor’ Contestant Just Fame-Hungry?
While Jenna may have been hurt by Sean’s actions, it didn’t put her off pursuing him, as she contacted ABC producers so she could be a competitor on his season. And they say Bachelor contestants are fame-hungry?
“She [Jenna] liked him so much that, knowing he was the next star of The Bachelor, she got in touch with the shows producers and begged to be on the show — but they turned her down. It’s really sad.”
It sure is! It seems crazy that Sean could be so callous when he seems like such a nice guy, but if we recall from season 16, Jenna seemed like a crazy, emotional wreck.
And Sean already has enough crazy people to deal with on the show!
What do YOU think, HollywoodLifers? Was Sean too callous, or is Jenna just fame hungry?

Do not believe all you read in these scandalous rag, magazines (online ones too…like HL) as Sean is a good Christian and did not spend the nite with Jenna at his hotel, or at any other place. Shameful lies!

Good grief. I know too many “good Christian” men who have slept with people outside of marriage, beat their wife (a Baptist church deacon), hit on young men in the congregation (the married male choir director), and embezzled money from a church retirement home, then fled town (a Baptist minister), among other less-than-noble deeds. I don’t trust anyone less than a “good Christian.”

Maybe he just realized she was crazy and didn’t want anything else to do with her. I imagine with someone like her, ignoring her is the only option. So good for him for distancing himself from a bad situation.
this clearly is false, when jenna follows him on twitter and wrote stuff to sean on the premiere of the bachelor all nice things.

I ABSOLUTELY DO NOT BELIEVE THE STORY ABOUT JENNA BURKE HAVING SEX WITH SEAN LOWE MONTHS BEFORE THE SHOW. IF SHE DID SPEND THE NIGHT WITH SEAN AT HIS PLACE, IT MAY HAVE BEEN JUST A “TALK SLEEPOVER”, SUCH AS WHAT SEAN DISPLAYED FOR THE WORLD TO SEEN ON ABC’S THE BACHELOR THIS LAST SEASON. OR IF JENNA BURKE IS SAYING THAT THEY HAD SEX (I DON’T THINK SHE IS BEING QUOTED ABOVE AS SAYING THIS), SHE COULD JUST BE LYING AND IT COULD BE SOMETHING COMING FROM A GIRL SCORNED. YOU KNOW THE ADAGE, “HELL HATH NO FURY LIKE A WOMEN SCORNED”. OR PERHAPS THEY JUST HAD ORAL SEX WHICH SOME MAY ARGUE IS CLOSE TO A KISS ON THE CHEEK. ALSO I WANT TO ADD THAT IT DOES NOT SOUND CREDIBLE THAT JENNA BURKE HAD SEX WITH SEAN LOWE DUE TO HER, SEVERAL MONTHS AFTER THIS CLAIM SEXUAL ENCOUNTER WITH SEAN LOWE, TRYING TO GET A SPOT ON THE BACHELOR FEATURING BACHELOR SEAN LOWE HIMSELF, AS RELAYED ABOVE. I HOPE EVERYONE REALIZES THAT THIS WHOLE STORY ABOUT JENNA BURKE SOUNDS FISHY AND NOT CREDIBLE. ALSO I WANT TO ADD THAT SEAN MAY HANG WITH FRIENDS THAT ARE PLAYERS, BUT THAT DOES NOT MAKE HIM GUILTY OF BEING A LIAR ABOUT HIS WANTING TO WAIT TILL MARRIAGE TO HAVE SEX. I ALSO WANT TO ADD THAT PEOPLE ARE OUT TO GET SEAN LOWE RIGHT NOW BECAUSE HE REPRESENTS A SORT OF THREAT AS I SEE FROM MY VANTAGE POINT. GUYS WANT TO CONTINUE FOOLING PEOPLE INTO BELIEVING THEY NEED SEX SO BAD SO THEY CAN KEEP BEING PROMISCUOUS SEXUALLY. SOME FEMALS MAY BE GUILTY OF THIS, TOO. ANYWAY THAT IS JUST MY OPINION.
