Corinne Olympios' ‘Bachelor in Paradise’ Investigation Completed, Plus: Is She Returning?
Reality star Corinne Olympios has announced that her legal team has wrapped up their own investigation after her “Bachelor in Paradise” scandal involving DeMario Jackson.
According to Olympios, the investigation was “completed to my satisfaction.”
In a lengthy statement to “Extra” on Thursday morning, she expressed her desire to “clarify a few things,” due to the “overwhelming amount of misinformation.” She explained, "My intent over the past few weeks has been to learn and understand what happened on June 4. While I never filed complaints or accusations against anyone associated with Bachelor in Paradise, my team and I felt it was very important to be thorough in getting to the bottom of what had occurred. I felt victimized by the fact that others were judging me through conflicting and unsubstantiated reports, while I myself had no recollection of the events that transpired.”
Earlier this week, Olympios chose not to comment on the new rules that “Bachelor in Paradise” has put into place when photogs approached her in Los Angeles. Days later, she commented on the changes to the show and her possibility of returning, saying, "I am also happy about the changes that have been made to the production of 'Bachelor In Paradise.' While I am extremely grateful for the opportunity to have been a participant on 'The Bachelor,' and while I was invited to return to 'Bachelor In Paradise' when production resumed, I respectfully made the decision not to return.”
Corinne ended her statement, "I understand the media's interest in this story, and I greatly appreciate my fans' concerns for my well-being, but I think it is best if I keep any further thoughts private for now.”
DeMario has denied any wrongdoing and Warner Bros. has concluded that there was no sexual assault after allegations of “misconduct.”
