"Bachelor in Paradise" Season 4 doesn't air until next month, but there's already talk about the reunion. It's been learned that embattled contestant, DeMario jackson, will appear on the show. DeMario won't appear on the show but will come back to thank everyone for their support throughout the sex scandal that he was in the middle of with Corinne Olympios.
'BiP' reunion and scandal
DeMario's reputation has suffered in a bad way since he was linked to the scandal in which misconduct allegations were made against production. Filming stopped for two weeks, so an investigation into claims that Corinne was too intoxicated to consent to sex with DeMario was finalized.
In the end, it was determined that there was no misconduct. Corinne's independent investigation arrived at the same conclusion. So, what will happen on the "Bachelor in Paradise" Season 4 reunion?
DeMario Jackson tells TMZ that he wants to thank all of the contestants "face-to-face" for all of their support and help. He shares that the help he received from the fellow cast members on "BiP" and the producers was fantastic and he wants to express his appreciation. He adds that he wants to "give them all a big ol’ hug and tell them how much I love them.”
What about Corinne Olympios? Will she be at the "Bachelor in Paradise" reunion? DeMario has nothing but kind words for Corinne, who wasn't invited back to "Paradise" by producers.
He says he's "not one of those petty people. I’m a very forgiving person." He continues that "if she’s willing to speak" ... whether it be on-camera, off-camera, online, or whatever, he's ready to hear her out.
DeMario has "love for Corinne
Lastly, DeMario Jackson says he has "nothing but love" for Corinne and her family following the scandal.
Given the circumstances, it's a pretty big thing for "The Bachelorette" alum to reveal. A lot of people in this man's situation would be rather bitter, especially since he lost a job over the investigation and his image has taken a direct hit. Maybe DeMario wants to show the world that he has nothing to feel bad about and is trying to be the bigger person.
After all, Corinne exacerbated the scandal by lawyering up and launching her investigation. It wasn't clear if she intended to sue the show or DeMario depending on what was found, but it was implied that she was interested in going after someone. Several witnesses say she was lucid and aware of what was going on during the time in question with DeMario.
