Corinne Cries Victim, DeMario Has 'No Comment'

'Bachelor In Paradise' star is silent after accusations of sexual assault.

DeMario Jackson, 30, has no comment regarding the rumored sexual encounter that halted filming of season 4 of Bachelor In Paradise. The reality star stayed silent on the topic when spotted leaving Sista Mary’s Soul Food restaurant in Glendale, California Saturday night. Meanwhile 25-year-old Corinne Olympios, who has stated that she is the victim in the alcohol-fueled incident that allegedly took place on June 4, was seen walking her dog.

DeMario appeared on the current season of The Bachelorette, and was given the boot by Rachel Lindsay, a 31-year-old attorney from Texas, after a woman who showed up on a group date claimed to be his girlfriend. So it seems that DeMario had a bad boy reputation already prior to appearing on the wildly popular summer spin off show, Bachelor In Paradise.

Corinne Olympios is far from angelic herself, she was perceived by fans to be the villain of Nick Viall‘s season of The Bachelor. The blonde beauty  had trouble getting along with the other contestants, always led with her sexuality, and flaunted her family’s fortune by bragging about still having a nanny.

Corinne, who has retained lawyer Marty Singer to represent her, claims she was so intoxicated on the Sayulita, Mexico set of Bachelor In Paradise that she did a face plant into the jacuzzi. The former video vixen went on to say in a statement last week, “I am a victim and have spent the last week trying to make sense of what happened on June 4. Although I have little memory of that night, something bad obviously took place, which I understand is why production on the show has now been suspended and a producer on the show has filed a complaint against the production.”

While DeMario may have no comment now, in a previous statement he said, “It’s unfortunate that my character and family name has been assassinated this past week with false claims and malicious allegations. I will be taking swift and appropriate legal action until my name is cleared and, per the advice of legal counsel, will be seeking all available remedies entitled to me under the laws.”

The future of Bachelor In Paradise is unclear. Host Chris Harrison, who was reportedly not present during the alleged encounter, is asking fans to be patient while BIP’s production company Warner Bros. investigates and cautions them to be wary of “misinformation.”
