Former Bachelor and Bachelorette contestants are slamming Jason Mesnick for dumping fiancee Melissa Rycroft for Molly Malaney on Monday's season finale.

On his Facebook page, Andy Baldwin wrote: "Andy is glad when he was the Bach. He was a man and didn't sell his soul and cave. Such a sellout."

Later, Baldwin posted another message re: the shocking Bachelor finale: "You do NOT break up on national television. That is the opposite of a gentleman."

Navy Lt. Andy Baldwin starred in The Bachelor: An Officer and a Gentleman in Season 10. He chose Tessa Horst but broke up with her a few months later.

Elsewhere, Trista Sutter - the only star to wed the person they chose on the show - was also shocked that Mesnick (who has a son, Ty, 4) would propose to one woman, introduce her to his child and then hook up with a new woman."

"How could you go from being engaged to someone, to kissing someone else on the couch?!" she fumed. "He doesn't deserve to walk away scot-free."

"What disappointed me as a mom is that he introduced both girls to Ty ... Melissa was around, and now she's gone. What is Ty going to think?"

Trista Sutter - who is expecting her second child with husband Ryan - said she sent a text message to Melissa Rycroft after the show.

It said: "'I'm proud of the way you handled it.'"

Sutter went on in her posting on momlogic.com: "She deserves so much better! Melissa hasn't been able to say anything about this until now, so I think she's relieved. I am happy she can finally move on."

"As far as I'm concerned, this is a blessing in disguise. Now she can find someone who truly loves her."

Sutter called Jason Mesnick "obviously fickle" and warned Molly against jumping into a relationship with him after the way he treated Melissa.

"How can you trust him?" she said.

On last night/this morning's Jimmy Kimmel Live, Jason Mesnick defended his decision to dump Melissa. Check out the interview below ...

In a wedding made in reality TV heaven, The Bachelorette star DeAnna Pappas and Jesse Csincsak, her snowboarder fiancé, are set to get married next year — and Andy Baldwin will officiate!

“Andy Baldwin is a certified minister,” an insider tells InTouch Weekly, noting that the rose ceremony veterans met on MySpace.

They got to know each other, and eventually grew to be close friends, and Andy was then asked to officiate at the wedding.

“I’m really so happy for DeAnna and Jesse. I am really honored that they’ve asked me and I can’t wait to be a part of their big day,” said Baldwin, who starred on The Bachelor a year before DeAnna appeared on it.

Baldwin chose Tessa Horst and later broke up with her. DeAnna Pappas was negged by moron Brad Womack during that season's finale.

She later went on to star on The Bachelorette, where she chose Jesse Csincsak. Finalist Jason Mesnick will be the next Bachelor star.

Seriously, where are Shayne Lamas and Tessa Horst?

Well, Andy Baldwin and Tessa haven't been together in some time. He even dated Marla Maples for a time. But it's funny to see two alumni of The Bachelor together at the same pub in Los Angeles without the ladies on Saturday.

Added the handsome Brit, "I love the States, but just for the record, I did not do this for a green card."

Andy Baldwin, Marla Maples Break Up

steve@floridahomeloan.com (LC Lover) — Thu, 08 May 2008 06:30:11 EST

Former star of The Bachelor Andy Baldwin and his girlfriend Marla Maples have called it quits, he has confirmed to Us Weekly.

Baldwin's recent move to Washington, D.C. to take a job as an advocate for Navy Medicine put a strain on their relationship.

"The big move coupled with the long distance relationship wasn't working for us so I decided we were better off as friends," Baldwin says.

He first broke the news to the Washington Post.

"We were friends, it got romantic for a little while, but we're just friends," he told the nation's capital's newspaper.

Andy Baldwin and Marla Maples met last year and spent New Year's together. They recently celebrated Easter in Hawaii.

"He's just a good soul," Maples said in April. "He's a complete gentleman."

Andy Baldwin was briefly engaged to Tessa Horst, who won the final rose on The Bachelor. That didn't last long.

Andy Baldwin, Marla Maples Discuss Their Love

Former Bachelor star Andy Baldwin and Marla Maples â" a.k.a. the former Mrs. Donald Trump â" have a "blooming romance," the Naval officer says.

"We met (last year) and I found her to be very sweet, positive," he said of the 44-year-old Maples. "She's polite, respectful and has a great heart."

Although the two were spotted together in New York City over the holiday season â" prompting rumors of romance â" Baldwin said they didn't really get it on until February, when he returned home from an overseas military mission.

Baldwin is in the process of relocating from Hawaii to Washington, D.C. for a new job assignment. He's currently vacationing in Los Angeles, where he's been logging quality time with the California-based Marla Maples.

The two have been spotted frolicking on the beach and arriving arm-in-arm at Monday's taping of another reality show hit, Dancing with the Stars.

Marla Maples and Andy Baldwin: One hot reality TV couple.

"It takes someone special for me to spend time away from my daughter (14-year-old Tiffany), because she's my priority," Maples said.

"There's a lot of sweet, cute people in the world, but it's what's in here," Maples said, gesturing to Baldwin's heart, "that counts."

So is the age difference an obstacle?

"She has the mind, body and energy of a 25-year-old," insisted Baldwin. "When you have a connection with someone, age goes out the window."

As for social worker Tessa Horst â" to whom he proposed on The Bachelor tenth season finale â" they called it quits last September.

"I definitely care for her a great deal," said Baldwin, who keeps in touch. "I have no regrets about that experience or the relationship that we had."

Tessa Horst is rolling in her grave.

Okay, so she's not actually deceased. But she might wish she were if she saw the picture of Marla Maples and Andy Baldwin posted below ...

NAUSEATINGLY HAPPY: Andy Baldwin and Marla Maples.

The two (31 and 44) aren't letting an age gap hold them back: the two had a fun time in Laguna Beach, frolicking and making out on the rocks.

"He is the most compassionate man I've ever met," Maples tells Us Weekly.

Maples and the former star of The Bachelor also played with a beach ball.

"He's just a good soul," Maples, an ex-wife of The Apprentice star Donald Trump, told Us Weekly. "He's an absolute, complete gentleman."

Their new relationship is usually long-distance since Andy Baldwin, a naval doctor, is stationed in Hawaii, where the two took a romantic getaway.

"They're moving him to D.C. soon," Maples said, ecstatically. "He still has four more years in military!"
