The seemingly never-ending scandal that rocked the upcoming season of Bachelor in Paradise is getting another chapter—and it's going to be on camera.
Corinne Olympios and DeMario Jackson, who were both involved in a sexual-assault controversy on the hit ABC reality series, have both agreed to do a joint interview with longtime Bachelor-universe host Chris Harrison to discuss what exactly occurred on that fateful evening in Mexico.
As you may recall, initial reports indicated that Olympios may have been too intoxicated to consent to a sexual encounter with Jackson that occurred during filming. After halting production and conducting a thorough investigation, Warner Bros. concluded that there was "no misconduct" on set, and the series resumed filming without Olympios and Jackson present.
"We're going to sit down with [DeMario]. I don't think it'll be just part of the [BiP] reunion show," Harrison told Entertainment Tonight of the upcoming interview. "I'm going to sit down with DeMario and Corinne as part of a sit-down talk with the two of them." However, Harrison isn't aware of the format the interview will take, as Jackson apparently made "bad choices" during the Bachelorette's "Men Tell All" taping earlier this week. "Honestly, after tonight I don't know how that dialogue's going to [go]," he continued. "I thought I had an idea before tonight, but I also thought we'd have a better moment than we had tonight. So, I don't know. Now I'm not really sure how it's going to be. We'll see."
Harrison also weighed in on the promos that advertised Bachelor in Paradise's upcoming season, which many viewers thought was a bit too cheery, given the shaky circumstances. "First and foremost, I think a lot of people...some people on social media reached out and said we were tone deaf," Harrison said. "And I need people to step back a little bit, wait, and watch. All will be explained. Trust me. Have I left you guys hanging before in 16 years? No."
If you're interested, Bachelor in Paradise will return on August 14. There's no indication as to when Corinne Olympios and DeMario Jackson's interview will air.
