Jess Vestal Speaks Out On ‘Painful’ Split From Harry Jowsey After His DWTS Partnership With Rylee Arnold

In a candid new interview, Jess Vestal has opened up about the “sudden” and “heartbreaking” end of her relationship with former Too Hot to Handle star Harry Jowsey – citing his close working relationship with his Dancing With the Stars partner Rylee Arnold as a key factor.

The 28-year-old influencer, who had been dating Jowsey for over a year, revealed that the pair’s romance took an unexpected turn when the Australian reality TV personality was paired with Arnold fo

the lat

“It was just really tough for me to watch Harry get so close and intimate with Rylee during their DWTS rehearsals and performances,” Vestal told People magazine in an exclusive interview. “I know it’s all part of the show, but I couldn’t help but feel betrayed and insecure.”

Vestal went on to explain that she had tried to be understanding and supportive of Jowsey’s obligation to the show, but ultimately found the emotional toll to be too much to bear.

“Harry assured me that it was just for the cameras, but I could tell there was a real connection developing between them,” she said, her voice wavering with emotion. “The way they would look at each other, the way they would touch – it was just too much for me to handle. I felt like I was losing him.”

According to Vestal, the breaking point came after a particularly intense rehearsal session, where she claims to have witnessed Jowsey and Arnold engage in what she described as “inappropriate” physical contact.

“I confronted Harry about it, and he just got really defensive and started accusing me of overreacting,” Vestal recalled. “That’s when I knew I had to walk away. I couldn’t be in a relationship where I constantly felt disrespected and ignored.”

In the aftermath of the split, Vestal says she has been left feeling “blindsided” and “heartbroken” – a sentiment that has been compounded by the public nature of her relationship with Jowsey.

“It’s been really hard seeing all the cute photos and videos of Harry and Rylee all over social media,” she admitted. “I just feel like our whole relationship was a lie, you know? Like it was never really about me at all.”

Representatives for Jowsey and Arnold have not yet responded to requests for comment on Vestal’s allegations. However, sources close to the DWTS production have hinted that there may be more to the story than meets the eye.

“The chemistry between Harry and Rylee is undeniable, but from what I witnessed, it really was just for the purposes of the show,” one crew member, speaking anonymously, told reporters. “Harry was always professional and respectful, and seemed genuinely committed to his relationship with Jess.”

As the fallout from this latest reality TV drama continues to unfold, Vestal says she is focused on healing and moving forward – though she admits the pain of the breakup is still raw.

“I gave Harry my whole heart, and he just shattered it into a million pieces,” she said. “It’s going to take me a long time to recover from this.”
