There is nothing we love more here than evidence and it looks like our favorite spoiler Reality Steve has posted evidence Kaylee Shepherd was dating Jef Holm right before the Bachelor bolstering her current claim that Emily and Jef are faking their relationship for the money and the PR. I suspect RS held out on publishing these emails because of the potential legal consequences and for all he knew she could have been a tabloid fishing for details.
But now that Kaylee has come out in public to make the claims I guess all bets are off since she has made herself a public figure IMHO.
Steve released a series of emails from April through July where you can see Kaylee fishing for info on Jef in the way that any 21-year-old girl-whose-boyfriend-of-8-months-just left-to-be-on-a-reality-show-to-find-love-in-9-weeks would do. I mean what do you do when your boyfriend goes on the Bachelorette just for “the adventure”?

Hi Steve,
I dated Jef Holm the last 8 months before he went on the show. I just barely read your blog and saw that he is now in the final four…. I have any info you want on him. Where his parents live, his age, where he graduated from college, stories about him. Let me know if you want any information.

Absolutely. Tell me what you can. Are you still friends w him? Or is this all just a promotional tool for People Water that he did the show?

So if Jef ends up winning in the end, what will you do?

But what about wanting to say something? You are technically still his girlfriend according to what you told me, right? The guy didn’t bother to break up with you before he left and then 6 weeks later he’s engaged? Were you guys just casually dating and hooking up, or you were absolutely, 100% his girlfriend and you guys were exclusive?

Wait did he win the whole thing?? We WERE exclusive, and no we did not end things before he left. I don’t want anything to do with him at this point though.

I don’t know if he won or not. I’m just asking in case he does win, if you’d want your story out there.

To be honest, no I don’t. I’d rather keep my private life private. I’m heart broken and it’s going to be tough to watch, but I don’t think trying to get back at him and telling all his MANY secrets to the world is going to make me feel any better about it all. I don’t want to hurt him or myself. I’ll give you any info I can, and let you know if I hear anything in the next week from him or about him. But I’d rather not have my name in magazines or on websites for getting ditched haha.”
There is more but that is the gist of it. A girl claiming to be his exclusive girlfriend writes to Reality Steve trying to figure out WTF happened to her boyfriend! I personally believe this girl because she has come forward with her name and she genuinely sounds bummed.
I also think Jef Holm may be a little less wholesome than we give him credit for. He is making a killing on his People Water empire since filming after all. He is actually here in San Diego right now at the SD Film Fest with Emily. We considered getting into our shrubbery outfits and doing some investigative work but social anxiety keeps our E grade celebrity stalking hobby under wraps.

Which blog are his MANY secrets going to be on? And when. I need to know because I’m trying to get my book marks organized.
LOL…JEM fans just can’t let it go. Thy will continue to defend this couple to the bitter end and then JEM will make them look like fools.
As far as the absurdity of Jef going to all the trouble to fake the relationship……Id say there are probably a lot of different factors. I dont think he’d do it purely for the money, but the PR for People Water is invaluable and we are wondering if show producers could be in on this conspiracy wanting their golden couple to at least make it through Bachelor 13.
Either way I feel sorry for Kaylee. This girl is bummed!
well its all speculation at this point right? The only reason I give the claim credibility is because putting your name on something really makes you a target. Sure maybe she did it for $ but initially coming to RS she said she wasnt interested in the money. And I could see how she would go to Reality Steve for info. His family cant know anything because of his contract. The only people that would know anything are the show producers and RS w/ his “legal” wiretaps.
Plus judging by her emails she sounds like a decent person and not a crazy groupie. Sure she may have made more out of their relationship. Anything is possible.
Reality Steve explained the misleading time records on the emails. Reality Steve and Kaylee live in two different time zones. They may be legitimate emails but they don’t prove anything except that Kaylee thought there was something more going on between them than Jef did.
BINGO! Exactly. He was probably going out with others before the show.
Let see… First we have the ex-not-really-girlfriend selling story to tabloid with no valid proof what so ever to support that story, and all that after she tried to sell Jef to Reality Steve in the first place. She sounds like a delusional young girl who can’t get over the fact that he wasn’t in to her wary much, if they were together at all. Common… Trying to get info from Reality Steve!? Not from Jef’s family, friends… How stupid US magazine must think people are! Texts, even if they exist are probably faked. Just google “how to fake text messages”. It’s surpassingly easy.
We are expected to believe that Jef left his life, friends and family, moved across the country to Charlotte to be with Emily (the person that ex-not-really-girlfriend claims he doesn’t love) and with Ricki, to be very involved in their life’s, especially Ricki’s life, becoming practically the step-dad to 7 year old girl, spending all time together, coaching her soccer team, taking her to school, parks, cheering for her at games, traveling with them around, etc…. and all that for 2 years so he could get some cash – petty cash in his case. And we are suppose to believe that he would do that even though he is loaded (remember the other bogus story that Emily picked him because he’s rich), and even though he is young and good looking with half of girls in USA already in love with him, ignoring the more logic solution that he could’ve much easily fake the relationship doing it long-distance from SLC Utah, living single instead of family life, and make much more money by selling story about Emily to tabloids himself, if that sexting scandal was in deed truth. Well, that would be plane stupid of Jef, and he doesn’t com across stupid at all.
If we do believe all above nonsense, than we have two Oscar winning performances from Jef and Emily for best acting ever in the history of acting. Move Meryl Strip, move Robert De Niro, Hollywood here they come – Jef and Emily.
These emails to Reality Steve are completely from HER perspective. Kaylee is very young (21 right now? so even younger when she was dating Jef) and may have thought the relationship was much more than he thought it was. What serious girlfriend agrees to let her beloved go on a reality TV DATING show? Perhaps their relationship was truly more casual than she than created in her mind. Where are all the pictures of them together during their 8 months of serious dating?? Don’t you think if there was even one picture of Jef and Kaylee US magazine would have acquired it and published it in the article. How do you date someone exclusively for 8 months and have NO pictures of the two of you together? She needs to grow up and realize what she created in her mind about their relationship was entirely different than what he thought it was….
this series of email are completely fake lol… Please tell me where is the error??!
Check the hour of the first message 12h44, the girl say: hey steve i have info regarding Jef.
At 12h36 Steve answer : yes please tell me more
LOL it should be 12h36 the girl ask and at 12h44 steve answer, NO? strange ……..
I will say in Jef’s defense….I do think he’s a good guy…when I say he may not be as “wholesome” I mean the guy is not waiting til his wedding night to get some fantasy suite action and if things werent great w/ Emily he may well have hit on Kaylee.
My theory if her allegations are true is that Jef was crazy about Emily but the sexting scandal changed everything. I suspect he may have even found texts w/ her telling Matt she wasnt that into Jef. I think that whole thing crushed Jef and he was just looking to get a little justice by riding the JEM wave for People Water.
If this is the case, there is no way they will be able to fake it for 2 years. But think of how easy it is to fake a relationship w/ Instagram. You could do a whole 1 year relationship in 1 day of photo shoots. The part he wont be able to fake is the part where he will want to hook up w/ other girls so if this is true it wont last.
