Jenna from 'The Bachelor' is 'Not Crazy,' Pal Says

January 12, 2012 The Bachelor

Exhibiting her over-the-top, emotional side on the first few episodes of "The Bachelor," a pal of Jenna Burke's tells In Touch that Burke "isn't crazy. It was all brilliant editing."

Burke, a blogger from New York City, gave viewers a taste of the drama to come in the show's 16th season, locking herself in the bathroom and sobbing after a confrontation with another contestant. Jenna then tried to patch things up, and oddly said, "Maybe we can share a tampon sometime." Since then, Burke has been labeled "crazy," and a "hot mess."

Jenna's friend says she is a very sweet girl and her outrageous behavior was due mostly to "nerves" and having a few glasses of wine on an empty stomach. The writer and self-proclaimed over-analyst, 27, recently ended a serious relationship, adding to her heightened sense of emotions.

Burke was axed during the second episode, and following her elimination, she said, "I can't believe -- oh my God -- are you kidding me?! No, really, are you kidding me? I can't believe this is happening. I'm mortified. I think I deserve love. I have always been trying to find it. I want to forget this ever happened. This was a mistake."
