"She was like 'I'm dying here, I'm dying here,'" the insider said, while another said Emily "was just over it … enough was enough."
A source close to Jef, who Emily chose over race car driver Arie Luyendyk, said his earlier puffery that he'd be a father figure to her daughter Ricki deflated over time.
"He has no real connection to Ricki … he doesn't feel close to her," the source said, adding Jef thought Emily was an absentee parent, calling her a "bad mom" on many occasions.

"She was being very flirty," a guest told the magazine, adding Jef waited in the car brooding during the tense event.
An insider said Emily's "goody-goody Southern Belle" demeanor is just for the cameras: "She flirts with other guys to help her ego. She gets off on it."
