Brad Womack downplays comments about Emily Maynard

When you break up with someone, is there a nice way to tell America that you “dodged a bullet?” Not really. And that is precisely what Brad Womack said in response to his broken engagement with Emily Maynard of The Bachelorette.

As of this morning’s appearance on The Bobby Bones Radio Show, it appears Brad wants to play nice. Can you say, “damage control?” On air he said the relationship may have survived under different circumstances, and that he was sincere in his proposal at the time.”I think in any other circumstance Em and I would have worked out. I really do. Quite frankly, this whole situation is just weird and any time we try and hang out we had people following us, taking pictures. I get the old saying ‘I made my bed and I need to lie in it’ but I’m very, very protective over the people I care about,” he said. “So whenever we were out and it would bother her, I’d get a little upset. We parlayed into moments when we were just alone. I was just done, man. I’m not saying I left, I’m saying I had to re-evaluate if I really wanted this as part of my life.”
