When Emily Maynard and The Bachelor‘s, Brad Womack, ended their engagement, she had absolutely no intention of being the the star of the next season of The Bachelorette.  But, next month, that’s exactly what she’ll be doing.  “I had no intentions of ever being the next Bachelorette.  I genuinely meant that,” said Maynard.  “I feel like the biggest hypocrite because I said that, and now I’m doing it.”  According to People, though she knows dating on TV can work, she admits to being scared about diving into the reality TV dating pool once again.  The blonde beauty also admits that it’s difficult to date as a single mom.  The show will be filmed in Charlotte, North Carolina, where Maynard is raising her 6-year-old daughter as well as in other locations.
