I've actually never even been inside a sorority house. As for him…I stopped being friends with him years ago because he's disgusting

Arie hasn’t responded to Jef’s brutal choice of words. However, Emily Maynard, who the guys competed for on The Bachelorette, has been nothing but nice and supportive about the new Bachelor’s next chapter.
