Arie Luyendyk Jr. claimed he feels “100 percent” betrayed by the cringeworthy “Bachelor” finale that showed him heartlessly dumping Becca Kufrin for runner-up Lauren Burnham — because the supposedly “unedited” episode was cut to make him look like a villain!

“It was completely edited,” declared Arie, who said suggesting otherwise “was super unfair to me.”

The 36-year-old insisted producers cajoled him into shooting the emotional breakup because “we can show you going back to Lauren, and people are going to rally behind you because you took this big risk and you did it for love.”

But that wasn’t the case after the agonizing 40-minute train wreck aired — and fans branded Arie a snake!

“I don’t understand why I’m the fall guy,” he whined in a recent profile, but added: “I’m really happy with Lauren. So for me, it was all worth it!”
