Jake Pavelka Blasts Gay Rumors

He had a very dramatic and high-profile breakup with his fiancé Vienna Girardi, and now Jake Pavelka is vehemently defending his heterosexuality.

The “Bachelor” stud paid a visit to “The View” this morning during which he asserted that he definitely digs chicks.

"There was a lack of intimacy because our problems were so heavy. I can't separate love and intimacy -- and apparently that makes me gay."

When he was asked specifically if he is gay, Jake shot back, “No, no.” He added, “One of my best friends is gay. I can’t see how someone can look at Vienna and find her not attractive.”
