Mario Jackson didn’t win at the game of love on The Bachelorette or in Paradise. Maybe he’ll win a Mirrorball Trophy on Dancing with the Stars season 25.
On Monday night’s Bachelorette Men Tell All, DeMario Jackson will address the ex-girlfriend situation that prompted Rachel to kick him off the show. While he won’t talk about the fallout on Bachelor in Paradise until a later date, the controversy surrounding Jackson seems to be helping him in his quest to be famous.
According to a new report from Us Weekly, DeMario is in talks to be a contestant on the upcoming season of Dancing with the Stars. If you missed the video of DeMario running into pop-singer Britney Spears (watch it below), you will see that he’s not all that interested in finding love. In fact, he told Britney he wants to be a famous actor. Eye roll.
On Monday, Us Weekly reported that a contract has yet to be signed between DeMario and DWTS, but producers are extremely interested in having him on the 25th season in September.
Let’s pause for a moment to watch DeMario pester Britney Spears in a grocery store parking lot.
Will this ruin Rachel Lindsay’s chances of getting the DWTS gig?
The Bachelorette star recently mentioned that she loves to dance and she would “never say never” to appearing on ABC’s popular dance competition. It’s possible DeMario could edge her out. And, once again, a female lead would be passed over for the gig.

It’s been a long time since a Bachelorette lead has been on Dancing with the Stars.
Trista Sutter (Bachelorette Season 1 ) was part of the DWTS Season 1 cast in 2005.
Melissa Rycroft appeared on Season 8 and 15. But keep in mind, Melissa wasn’t a Bachelorette. She “won” Jason’s Mesnick’s season of the Bachelor.
DeMario is already talking about dancing…
It won’t be a big surprise to see controversial DeMario Jackson on Dancing with the Stars in September. He’s already dropped hints that he’s being considered for the cast, telling TMZ that he’s a “black, Latin, salsa dancer.”
Dancing with the Stars Season 25 premieres September 18. Fans can expect to see the cast reveal on Good Morning America in early September.
