Jake Pavelka's ex dishes when enough was enough of "The Bachelor" star to Entertainment Tonight. Tanya Douglas, Jake's former girlfriend, told the entertainment news show what was behind her break up with Pavelka.

The Deal Breaker for Jake's Ex

According to Tanya Douglas, she was a passenger on one of Jake's flights when he had a flight attendant pass his phone number along to her.

Douglas, a long-haired blonde from Florida with a very southern sounding accent, told ET what made her part from Jake.

"I think that the final deal breaker for me was just the realization I've been completely used," Tanya said. She went on to share how she "completely cared about him and his life, and would support him in anything."

Tanya Says Jake Dropped Her When She Was No Longer Convenient

Jake's ex claims once she wasn't useful to him anymore, he basically "dropped" her. He made plans to become an actor and didn't want to be held back by anyone, including his girlfriend.

Douglas says of the 32-year-old pilot she once fell for, "As soon as I was inconvenient for him and his television plans, he just decided that it was best to drop me for the time being - and I'm not a girl to be dropped."

When Jake Last Saw His Ex

When ET asked Tanya the last saw Jake, she replied, "The last time I saw him was September 18 when he came to visit me in Orlando and stayed here with me. The last time I spoke to him was in January when I told him to stop contacting me."

Why Does Tanya Think Jake and Vienna Broke Up After "The Bachelor"?

Then there's the burning question about why Tanya thinks her "Bachelor" ex broke up with Vienna.

Douglas tells ET, "I think Jake and Vienna broke up because there is no room for anyone else in his life but himself. I think he is completely involved with himself." She continued, "I think he's completely involved with furthering his career as an actor."

"The Bachelor" Helped Fulfill a Need for Jake, According to Ex

Jake's stint on "The Bachelor" was the start of his journey to acting. He found a sense of fulfillment he wasn't getting anywhere else - or from anyone else, according to Tanya.

"I think that the attention that he gets from his supposed fans makes him feel fulfilled like no one else could.," she said.

If it's true Jake is pursuing a serious acting career, he's definitely did a good job of concealing his real feelings while on "The Bachelor." It's easy to understand why Tanya Douglas felt enough was enough if she was led on.
