DeMario Jackson wants nothing to do with “Bachelor in Paradise,” but it’s not because of his supposed ex-girlfriend. The ABC reality star was originally kicked off the “Bachelorette” following claims he was in a relationship. Afterward, he was brought back to “Bachelor in Paradise” to “find love.” After a sex scandal with Corinne Olympios on “BiP” filming Season 4 was temporarily suspended, but now he isn’t interested in being on television.

Jackson and Olympios had oral sex in the pool on the first day of filming in Mexico. They were both intoxicated, with Olympios claiming she was too drunk to consent to sexual relations with Jackson. She claimed she was a victim and an investigation was launched. It was ultimately determined that Jackson did not take advantage of Olympios.

Even though he was invited back to the series, Jackson refused to return, TMZ reported Thursday. Since the allegations of sexual misconduct, Jackson suffered from anxiety, an insider told the publication. He’s going to a psychologist and supposedly fears his name will always be associated with a sex scandal.

In fact, Jackson has no interest in returning to reality TV at all. Instead, he wants to be an “on-air personality,” TMZ wrote.

Jackson’s ex-girlfriend, Lexi Thexton, told TMZ last week he was nothing but a “30-year-old man child,” but didn’t think he would take advantage of Olympios. Instead, she thinks they were both drunk and hooked up — end of story. It doesn’t mean she likes him, though. She continued to insult her ex to TMZ, calling him a “s----y guy.”

Olympios was not invited back, sources said. They added it’s “highly likely” she won’t come back to “Bachelor in Paradise” or appear on any of the “Bachelor” franchises.

Olympios’ boyfriend, Jordan Gielchinsky, is sticking by her side.

“I have known Corinne for over 10 years and as a friend or boyfriend, she will continue to receive my unwavering loyalty and support until I decide that there is a legitimate reason not to give it,” he told E! Online Wednesday.

Since he hasn’t been reading news about the incident, he isn’t 100 percent certain about all the facts. “I pay very little attention to the media and try to ignore all the conjecture surrounding my relationship with Corinne,” he said. “The only two people who know the true disposition of our relationship is Corinne and I.”

Olympios said the pool experience was 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.
