DeMario Jackson not returning to ‘Bachelor in Paradise,’ claims he has anxiety [report]
By Ruby Maxwell
Filming for Bachelor in Paradise Season 4 resumes this weekend, but DeMario Jackson is one of several contestants who may not return to the set.
The off-camera drama created by the Bachelor in Paradise sexual misconduct scandal continues just days after ABC announced that the show will go on. The cast and crew are said to be returning to the set in Sayulita, Mexico this weekend, but a few familiar faces will be missing, including DeMario Jackson.
It’s important to note that ABC has not confirmed who’s in and who’s out for the upcoming season, but there are some fairly credible sources that indicate both Corinne and DeMario are on the “not going” list. Here’s what we know so far.
On Wednesday, E! Online’s source revealed that Paradise producers are not sending Corinne back to Mexico to film the remainder of the season. ABC has not confirmed ET‘s story, but it sounds logical considering she reportedly hired a lawyer to sue the production company.
However, that’s not the case for DeMario. TMZ reports that DeMario was “asked back to Paradise” after the investigation wrapped up. But sources close to DeMario tell TMZ that he won’t be accepting their offer.
The source claims DeMario has “suffered anxiety” since the whole scandal broke and is “seeing a therapist.”
"“He’s suffered from anxiety over the scandal after living under a cloud of suspicion for a week. He’s even started seeing a therapist. And, he’s upset because his name will now forever be linked to a sex scandal, even though Warner Bros. essentially concluded he did nothing wrong.”"
We’re not sure what’ true and what’s not. Especially because none of this information is coming from DeMario.
Of note, last week, reports surfaced that indicated DeMario lost his job due to the sexual misconduct investigation.

Now there are multiple reports circulating on social media that say he did not lose his job.
Instead, he left his position as an executive recruiter before he started filming The Bachelorette in March.
There’s one thing that we can count on — the rumors won’t stop until ABC makes an official announcement about both DeMario and Corinne.
Stay tuned.
