Ellen apologizes for calling "Bachelor" Brad Womack "a jerk"

Ellen DeGeneres apologized on her talk show Thursday for calling "Bachelor" star Brad Womack a "jerk" earlier in the week. She will have the jerk on Friday's show to ask why he picked neither of the two finalists in the show's finale.

Oops. Did I say that?

Yeah, I did. I think that when he's got his shirt off, Womack is very watchable. But otherwise, he's a big phony. So smooth, so sincere, so full of crap!

But Ellen has more class than me and doesn't want to judge this jerk. It all started on Tuesday when she interviewed finalist DeAnna Pappas."I may have called [Womack] a jerk," DeGeneres admitted Thursday. "I'm pretty sure I did. Cause I thought he was a jerk. Cause I thought he led the girls on."

But soon she regretted her remark. "I went home that night and I thought, 'That's not who I am. I don't like to judge people. I don't want to call someone a jerk. I have no idea what his story is. ... I do think what he did was wrong, but I do apologize."

Ellen found out that poor Brad was upset by her comments. Boo hoo.
"Because he likes me and was a big fan," she said, before adding jokingly, "Now, if I had known that, I would not have called him a jerk."

"I do want to hear what his excuse is," Ellen added, "because it was wrong, what he did. Not a jerk, but wrong. Maybe he is a jerk. We'll find out tomorrow, I don't know."

After that, maybe his 15 minutes of fame will be over, he'll stop talking and just take his shirt off. Thankyouverymuch.
