Corinne Olympios admits to drinking too much on ‘Bachelor in Paradise’

Corinne Olympios spoke out publicly for the first time since Warner Bros. temporarily shut down production of “Bachelor in Paradise”.

Appearing on “Good Morning America” Tuesday, Olympios, 24, opened up about the controversy that engulfed her, DeMario Jackson and the ABC reality TV show, and said she’s “doing better” after some time away from the spotlight.

“I have definitely taken my time to deal with everything, heal and I just felt laying low was really the best thing for me to do,” Olympios said on the ABC morning show. “So I’m definitely doing better.”

At the end of its investigation, Warner Bros. concluded that no sexual misconduct between Jackson and Olympios had taken place during the filming of “Bachelor in Paradise.” Olympios had claimed she was too drunk to consent to an on-tape sexual encounter.

Olympios admitted Tuesday that she still “remembers nothing from the situation.”

“I did drink too much,” she said. “I definitely understand that, but I was also on a medication that severely blacks you out and impairs your judgment, messes with your balance … I didn’t know that you were supposed to not drink on [the medication]. It really just caused a horrible, horrible blackout. It was like I went under anesthesia and then just woke up.”

Olympios has since cut down on her alcohol intake and is weaning herself off her medication, but she still struggles with figuring out what happened that day.

“I was a victim of just being blown into the media and having people make these crazy assumptions and judgments about what happened that day,” she said. “All of a sudden, people became an expert on the situation on what happened and it’s like, ‘Well, I’m still trying to figure out exactly what happened.’ It was just horrible to deal with.”

Olympios watched the premiere and couldn’t believe what was happening on the small screen.

“It’s like I’m watching not me, I’m watching someone else,” she said. “I was, like, in shock.”
