'Bachelor' split shows ugly side of public splits

LOS ANGELES (AP) - July 6, 2010 .

For weeks, the nasty break-up of "The Bachelor" couple Jake Pavelka and Vienna Girardi has been fought in the tabloids. In their latest round of sparring, the pair were back in front of the reality TV cameras where it all began.

"The Bachelor" host Chris Harrison moderated a reunion of the jilted lovers, who called off their engagement last month, on Monday's episode of "The Bachelorette." The 32-year-old pilot and 23-year-old marketing representative quarreled over such issues as how many times they broke up and why Girardi gave an interview to a tabloid about their split.
