Beauty and the Geek's Josie Werner denies rumours George Goldfeder is a 'fake geek' who dumped his long-term girlfriend for the show
Beauty And The Geek's George Goldfeder made headlines this month after he was accused of pretending to be a geek and dumping his girlfriend for the show.
And while the bearded reality star, 27, has failed to respond to the accusations, his on-screen partner Josie Werner, 21, hasn't held back.
Speaking to Yahoo Lifestyle on Wednesday, the bombshell insisted that George isn't a 'fake geek' despite his extensive acting resume - which includes two movies.

'He's actually a geek, he really is. I think I would know, I spent the most time with him,' she said.
Josie backed up her claims by listing George's 'geeky' hobbies, which include comics, martial arts and Dungeons and Dragons.
'And I could tell he was geeky too because he did lack some knowledge about talking to girls and sometimes he couldn't read me and I did have to teach him about confidence,' she added.
