Just months after an ecstatic Brad Womack proposed to Emily Maynard on The Bachelor, their relationship is strained by what Brad describes as "volatile" fights. Now, Brad's ex Laurel Kagay, who dated the two-time Bachelor on and off from March 2002 to October 2010, tells Life & Style that there were times during their relationship when Brad's temper would get so out of control, "it was scary," she says. "He would sometimes yell, really loud, to the point that he would almost start throwing things," she adds.
Laurel tells Life & Style that after the blowouts, Brad would be apologetic, and she'd receive $1,000 bouquets of flowers or expensive purses. He's so charming, she says, that she'd end up taking him back.
Laurel claims she's the one who persuaded Brad to see a therapist, and she believes that in order for his relationship with Emily to work, he needs to stay in therapy long-term. Laurel tells Life & Style. "I just want Emily to realize that he needs some sort of help [for his anger issues]. He can't do it on his own."
Unfortunately, it may be too late. "Brad knows it's over," a friend tells Life & Style exclusively. "They're together at the moment, but Brad has the feeling he's about to get dumped."
