Two women filed a lawsuit Tuesday against 'Bachelor in Paradise' alum DeMario Jackson, alleging he forced nonconsensual sex. Here's how he reacted.
posted Wednesday, the former “The Bachelorette” and “Bachelor in Paradise” contestant dismissed the claims that he forced two women to have nonconsensual sex in 2018 and 2020 and presented evidence to his followers.
In interviews with The Times, the women detail their accusations against the former ‘Bachelor in Paradise’ contestant: ‘I felt like I was going to die.’ Jackson echoed the sentiments his attorney, Walter Mosley, shared in a statement to The Times last week. Mosley said the claims made in the lawsuit were “completely unfounded.”
He first appeared on ABC’s “The Bachelorette” in 2017, then on “Bachelor in Paradise” later that year. During his time on the second show, Jackson was accused by a third party ofinvolving another contestant, Corinne Olympios, who said she had been so inebriated that she could not recall the incident.
The suit detailed another incident in 2018, where Jackson allegedly got on top of Doe 1 after she told him that she did not want to have sex. According to the complaint, Doe 1 pushed him off, but he continued to try to get on top of her. The complaint said Jackson then forced his penis into Doe 2’s mouth. She told The Times that he subsequently forced vaginal intercourse, despite her refusal. Doe 2 pushed Jackson off, according to the lawsuit, but he begged her to try anal sex again.
