Corinne's boyfriend gives his take on the 'Bachelor in Paradise' incident

He offers his "unwavering loyalty" in a new statement

Every day brings some new development in the controversy surrounding ABC's Bachelor in Paradise, after allegations of sexual misconduct led to a halt in production. Previous Bachelor contestants, the Bachelor host Chris Harrison, the two people involved in the incident, Corinne Olympios and DeMario Jackson, and the studio behind the show have all responded to the alleged misconduct. Now, Olympios's boyfriend is speaking out on her behalf."I have known Corinne for over 10 years and as a friend or boyfriend, she will continue to receive my unwavering loyalty and support until I decide that there is a legitimate reason not to give it," Jordan Gielchinsky told E! News. "I pay very little attention to the media and try to ignore all the conjecture surrounding my relationship with Corinne. The only two people who know the true disposition of our relationship is Corinne and I."Still, he said, "There is an ongoing inquiry that must follow a course to its conclusion before I can fully comment." Warner Brothers announced earlier this week that they were resuming production on Bachelor in Paradise after their own internal investigation determined that there was no misconduct."Out of respect for the privacy interests of those involved, we do not intend to release the videotape of the incident. We can say, however, that the tape does not support any charge of misconduct by a cast member. Nor does the tape show, contrary to many press reports, that the safety of any cast member was ever in jeopardy," the studio said in their statement. Olympios's lawyer, Martin Singer, responded to their closing of the investigation a few hours later. "It comes as no surprise that Warner Bros., as a result of its own internal investigation, would state that no wrong doing had occurred. Our own investigation will continue based on multiple new witnesses coming forward revealing what they saw and heard."Jackson's lawyer, Walter Mosley, told People: "The tapes will show that everyone, all of the participants of the Bachelor, everyone was consenting to what was going on. And certainly his interaction with Corinne was a consensual interaction."
