DeMario Jackson Believes Corinne Oylmpios Controversy Boils Down to Race


Back in June producers on Bachelor in Paradise shut down the set after accusing DeMario Jackson of having sexual contact with Corinne Olympios while she was too drunk to consent, a claim that was later proven false [click here if you missed that].

DeMario believes there wouldn't have been an issue if Corinne were Black...

What do you think would have happened if Olympios had been a black contestant?
This wouldn't have been a story. We wouldn't even be having this discussion at all. Right now, you would just be watching Paradise and saying, "DeMario's whistle is so annoying!" The minute you saw a black man and a white woman's face. I had black America who hated me because I'm a sellout with a white girl. And I had white America calling me the N-word and telling me to "go back to Africa." And they were slut-shaming Corinne, which sucked. For me, I'm just sitting here thinking, "Wow. Our world." The human race continues to let me down.
