Corinne Olympios Sex Scandal Wouldn't Have Happened If DeMario Jackson Knew About Boyfriend, He Says

"Bachelorette" star DeMario Jackson opened up to TMZ about the Corinne Olympios scandal. She claimed she was the victim of a sexual encounter on "Bachelor in Paradise," but Jackson claimed their alcohol-fueled encounter was consensual. If he knew about her boyfriend, Jordan Gielchinsky, he would have never hooked up with her.

When TMZ caught up with Jackson Monday, he was unsure what was happening with "BiP" and Olympios. "To be 100 percent honest, I don't know anything," he told the cameras. "I've been saying this whole time, this whole weekend has been... if you respect me, respect her," he said in regard to his fans defending him.

TMZ asked if he knew how Olympios was doing, but he didn't have an update. "You know, personally, I don't know," he said. "I sent her well wishes, that's all I know about this situation."

One of the reasons Olympios claimed she did not consent to relations with Jackson was because she had a boyfriend. But Jackson said he was unaware of her relationship status. Though most know this by now, contestants are supposed to go on "BiP" because they didn't find love on the "Bachelor" or "Bachelorette" and want another chance.

"No, no. I never knew that," he said about Olympios being with Gielchinsky. "I was 'kicked off' the show for having a girlfriend."

TMZ tried to question Jackson about what he knew about the situation, but he didn't have any answers. "To be honest, I don't read you guys. I try to stay out of it," he said about the scandal.

Bottom line, if he knew Olympios had a boyfriend, he would have stayed away from her. "You know, 100 percent. I'm not a homewrecker," he said. "I'm not that kind of guy."

Olympios claimed she doesn't remember most of the night she had relations with Jackson because she drank so much, a source told E! Online Tuesday. The last thing she recalled was taking a shot of tequila. Before that, she remembered having two glasses of champagne, a dirty martini and two more shots of tequila.

As for what she ate, she said she had a little bit to eat for breakfast and didn't eat anything else during the day. All the alcohol and hot Mexican sun is what caused her supposed blackout, the source said.

Ultimately, Olympios called the situation a nightmare.

“I am 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,” she said in an official statement last week.

“As a woman, this is my worst nightmare and it has now become my reality. As I pursue the details and facts surrounding that night and the immediate days after, I have retained a group of professionals to ensure that what happened on June 4 comes to light and I can continue my life, including hiring an attorney to obtain justice and seeking therapy to begin dealing with the physical and emotional trauma stemming from that evening,” she added.

Jackson's lawyer, Walter Mosley, requested to see the tapes of their "hookup."

"I have requested the tapes and I’m hoping to see the tapes next week," Mosley told Variety Sunday. "The tapes are the real facts needed to vindicate DeMario’s name."

"This has caused a lot of trauma — both physical and emotional injury," sayid Mosley. "It’s been difficult for DeMario and his family. He’s a celebrity for all the wrong reasons."

Mosley told Variety the tapes of the incident will clear up any discrepancies.

"As a lawyer, oftentimes, you’re in a case where it’s a he-said-she-said and there are parties with conflicting stories, and every once in a while, you’re gifted with a story that the entire thing is caught on camera," he says. "This is one of those rare occasions because they were shooting a reality television show. For 20 or 30 people to get it wrong or to miss something, for seasoned professionals over at Warner Bros. and ABC to get it wrong and for some third party who never saw the tape and who wasn’t on set at the time of the incident to make an accusation — as a lawyer, it’s like Christmas."
