The Bachelor

After hurling insults at each other for a half hour -- Vienna calling Jake a "fame whore," Jake saying she "disgusted" him -- the interview abruptly ended when a sobbing Vienna stormed out.

It all went down in The Bahamas in March 2009 -- mere months before Vienna met Jake -- and according to sources, the guy who delivered the package was a total stranger.

Besides the genital face-plant -- Girardi also struck a pose in which she stared down the barrel of a big, brown loaf launcher ... with the same guy.

TMZ obtained footage from inside the salon where Vienna was right after the couple announced the split -- and in the clip, she bitches to her friends, "You know ... Jake’s going to be doing sooo much publicity this week, it’s gonna be sick."

But moments after she rips Jake ... Vienna proceeds to brag about all the attention that's sure to come her way.

Jake was cool, calm and collected as he made his way to the gate -- telling our photog he's "Hangin' in there" in the wake of all the madness surrounding his breakup with Vienna.

Jake and Vienna were talking about their breakup during the taping when Jake lost his temper -- and reportedly cocked his arm and made a fist in Vienna's direction.

A source close to Vienna claims Jake "has a really bad hidden temper. He snaps all the time, it was just the first time he did it in front of people."

Jake and Vienna had to be separated on the set and the interview was pretty much over before it began.

Jake's rep hasn't responded to calls yet. No word if there will be a second take on the interview.

UPDATE: A production insider tells us Vienna was interrupting Jake constantly during the taping ... "Chris Harrison had to tell her over and over again to let him talk."

The insider also says "Vienna was in such a rage, if there was anyone to fear it was her."

Vienna and the "Greek" actor were dancing with each other -- hand-in-hand -- at the Reality Cares CHOC Children's Hospital Prom on Saturday night.

As we previously reported, sources close to the production of "The Bachelor" tell us Jake eventually pulled the plug on the relationship with Vienna because he thought she was "stepping out" with Gregory on the side.

But Vienna claims she never cheated on Jake -- and her stepmom claims the split was all Jake's fault ... because he's a fame-whoring fraud.

Vienna's stepmom tells us when Vienna moved out of Jake's place this weekend -- she left a goodbye note ... and the 3 carat Neil Lane diamond ring that he used to pop the question on "The Bachelor."

But sources close to the show tell us Jake is required to give the ring back to the production company. The deal is -- they only get to keep the ring if they get married.

Playing the percentages ... the show usually wins.

"The Bachelor" must not have heard all the accusations that have been flying around while he was in the air.

Luckily, our camera guy broke one of 'em to Jake -- the whole he's just a "fame whore" thing. Check out his response...

TMZ spoke with Vienna's stepmom Lisa -- who Jake tried to "win over" on "The Bachelor." Lisa claims that not only was Jake a total fraud ... but she insinuates that he was only motivated by ratings and not love.

Lisa claims, "I don’t think [Jake] ever really loved her ... I think he picked her because she is a dramatic person and it was good for the ratings.”

Sources close to Vienna tell us her relationship with "The Bachelor" Jake Pavelka ended last night around 6 PM -- and OMFG ... the final conversation took place over the phone!!!!!!

We're told Vienna felt that Jake constantly abandoned her for photo shoots and other media events ... instead of building on the rock solid foundation of a reality show romance.

Vienna has adamantly denied that she cheated on Jake ... even though, as we previously reported, Jake was convinced she was "stepping out" on him.

According to our beauty salon spies -- yes, we have those too -- Vienna would not talk about her brand new ex-fiance Jake Pavelka during the hair treatment.

However -- and this is where it gets crazy -- we're told Vienna kept getting phone calls while she was getting her hair and makeup done ... but she would only answer the phone after running into the bathroom!

Privacy!!!

Anyone really buyin' that?!

Just three months after Jake went on a national TV show looking for "love" -- and then exploited said "love" for another gig on a national TV show (Dancing with the Stars) -- the couple has released a statement saying, "Jake and Vienna have split. They appreciate the respect for their privacy at this time."

So is it a coincidence the couple called it quits right after their reality show ran its course?

We gotta ask ...

TMZ called up Lex McAllister -- who got the axe in episode 1 -- and she believes Vienna Girardi is "absolutely not to blame" for her massively unshocking split with Jake Pavelka.

As we previously reported, people close to the show tell us Jake ended the relationship because he believed rumors that Vienna was "steppin' out" on him.

But Lex tells us, "I find it hard to believe that she is guilty of anything negative in the breakup ... except for falling in love with a man whose heart was clearly not available for her in the first place."

So what does it all mean!?! Who really screwed who? Will Jake ever find anyone to fly on his wings of love?

We're told Jake believed Vienna was "stepping out" with Gregory Michael -- an actor on the ABC Family show "Greek."

The story had been out that the 2 were flirting at a recent event, but apparently Jake took it to heart.

Sources at "The Bachelor" say they don't know if Vienna was in fact doing the nasty with Greg -- but Jake was convinced enough to end the relationship in the last 24 to 48 hours.

UPDATE: Vienna just tweeted, "The accusations of me cheating are completely fabricated. 100% False." Our 'Bachelor' people say whether she cheated or not, Jake thought she did.
