Corinne Olympios was depicted as the villain of Nick Viall's season of The Bachelor, but her story didn't end there. What is Corinne up to now?
Nick's season didn't contain as much drama as some of the other seasons. Corinne garnered much of the screen time due to her bold statements and her willingness to pick fights with the other contestants. She made it quite far on the season, advancing to the hometown portion of the season. She lived with her parents, and she worked for her family's company Armor Garage, which sold epoxy floor coverings for garages. After Nick visited Corinne in Miami and went on a luxury shopping spree, he eventually let her go. Corinne was invited back for Bachelor In Paradise, where things did not go as planned. She and another contestant, DeMario Jackson, hooked up in a hot tub while both were intoxicated. The show shut down filming and rumors ran rampant over whether or not the public intimate encounter was consensual. Both DeMario and Corinne defended one another and the show returned to location to resume filming without them. Corinne also appeared on an episode of Sacha Baron Cohen's Who Is America, in which she was coerced to playing into the stereotype she had been depicted as on The Bachelor. While there were many strokes of genius from the HBO series, putting Corinne in an extremely uncomfortable situation for the sake of hurting her public image wasn't its best moment.
Corinne has stayed relatively quiet on social media since her time on The Bachelor. She has spoken about the mental health struggles that have resulted in being a part of several controversial parts of the show. While she has retreated from conversation surrounding the show, she does still share photos of herself and her boyfriend. In a post last week, she said of her man, "You got me weak in my knees."
While Corinne was no doubt the victim of editing and manipulation by the franchise, she also should have known what she was getting herself into when she signed up for the show. The Bachelor takes advantage of its contestants, especially the ones who are outspoken and welcome conflict. While some TV villains are bad people in real life, Corinne likely wasn't as mean as the show made her out to be.
On Corinne's Instagram story on Monday, she was promoting the upcoming season of The Bachelor: Greatest Seasons - Ever! which means she is probably going to be giving an update on her life at some point. In one of her story posts, she says, "Watch it all again b*tches." Watch it we will.
