Make America Corinne Again.
Corinne Olympios is known as the unapologetic, unashamed and carefree “The Bachelor” contestant. She talked about her platinum vagine, took off her top in the pool and advocated to “Make America Corinne Again.”
But behind this wild character is a woman who helps run her dad’s business, went to Florida International University and is an aspiring actress.
Here are five facts you should know about the infamous “Bachelor” contestant.
She told the other contestants to stop talking to her, stole the first kiss from Nick, straddled him in bouncy houses and basically told the other women that Nick was her fiancé.
Olympios was the contestant people loved to hate.
Even “Silicon Valley” star Thomas Middleditch told Business Insider that Olympios reminded him of Trump. It sounds like a wild accusation to make, but when asked why, he said, “Re-watch it. It’s like a mirror for the Trump and [Hillary Clinton] election. I think she’s probably a really sweet person, but her tactics were very Trumpian.”
You have to remember, though, that sometimes TV editing doesn’t show the whole story.
She made on appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” and when Kimmel asked her if she’s a terrible person, she said, “I’m definitely not a terrible person. I think there’s a lot that wasn’t shown – a lot of conversations that Nick and I did have that were more emotional and intimate.”
She also told Good Morning America that the label of the villain was unwarranted. “A villain, to me, does things viciously to other people. I never did anything viciously to anybody,” she said. “I was just doing me! I was just like: ‘I’m gonna do me, you guys do you. I’ll do what I want to do in my time.”
Although she played the role of the spoiled, bratty and sexually unapologetic girl, she wasn’t purposely trying to harm anyone. Corinne was just being Corinne.
On June 4, DeMario Jackson and Olympios were part of a sexual encounter on the set of “Bachelor in Paradise” in Sayulito, Mexico. Olympios was allegedly too drunk to give consent. Thus, the filming of the show was suspended on June 11 to investigate the situation.
Although the show has been cleared of any misconduct, Olympios states that she’s a victim in this scenario. Jackson, however, retaliated by saying his character is being attacked.
Olympios has hired a lawyer, but hasn’t filed any charges against DeMario or the producers of the show yet.
In an exclusive with E! News, Jackson claimed that Olympios was the aggressor. Since then, Olympios has been victim blamed and slut shamed. In a Fox News statement, Olympios said:
“I am a victim and have spent the last week trying to make sense of what happened the night of 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.”
While both Olympios and Jackson’s characters are being attacked by this scandal, Jackson told E! News that the comments being thrown at Olympios such as “slut” and “whore” are “unfair and inappropriate.”
“They were slut-shaming her because of what she did last season with [Bachelor star Nick Viall]. For me, it goes back to the human race. We failed,” Jackson told E! News.
The “multi-million dollar online company” Olympios bragged about on The Bachelor is her dad’s company that supplies epoxy coatings and floor products. The business is called AmorGarage Inc. and its clients include the U.S. military and the U.S. Coast Guard, which makes it a huge business that could be worth millions.
TMZ reported that she works in sales, but no one’s sure what, exactly, she does for the company.
She’s also an aspiring actress and model, though. To pursue this, she’s appeared in music videos with Akon, DJ Khlaed, Two Chainzz and Juicy J.
And as much as people love quoting this, Corinne told E! News that she doesn’t even know what that means.
She always claimed that her nanny made her “cheese pasta,” but isn’t that just called mac and cheese?
This is probably why Thomas Middleditch said Olympios reminds him of Trump.
Olympios is a nap fanatic, and can we really blame her for it?
Overall, the DJ Khaled music video star, multi-million dollar company “owner” and cheese pasta aficionado became the materialistic girl America loved to hate on “The Bachelor.” But if she’s trying to Make America Corinne Again, can we really blame her for trying?
