Bachelor in Paradise 2019: John Paul Jones apologizes for wedding drama

This past week on Bachelor in Paradise 2019, you had something that has become a regular tradition on this show — a wedding. It was Chris and Krystal who opted to tie the knot. Yet, at the same time it was John Paul Jones who commanded much of the spotlight for his actions calling out Derek. He accused him of “disrespecting” women, and also being there to promote his podcast more so than anything. His frustration may have also had something to do with his feelings for Tayshia, as Derek was getting closer to her and she was the person he was the most interested in.

Now, days after the original controversy happened, John Paul Jones has taken to Instagram in order to say sorry. Both Chris and Krystal have come out to say that they were not pleased that his drama overshadowed their big day, and JPJ chooses to directly apologize to the two of them in the spot. You can read it in full below.

Yet, this isn’t the end of the drama; Derek chose to respond, using some of John’s own words against him:

Don’t insult our intelligence…you could reach out on your own instead of on Instagram. This is just an attempt to save face.

Our response to that is twofold. First, it’s possible that John did reach out to Chris and Krystal privately. Also, he kinda has to say something publicly since A) it may not be addressed at the reunion and B) there is a public interest in this story. It is noteworthy, though, that JPJ doesn’t choose to apologize to Derek for anything that he said.

After watching this past Tuesday’s of BIP and having had time to step away from it all and introspect on my actions, I do deeply regret that my behavior was disruptive and upsetting to the celebration of Chris and Krystal’s wedding reception. Despite the fatigue and anxiety I felt at the time, I should have used good judgment in my decisions and acted in a more mature and selfless way. I extend my sincere apologies to Chris and Krystal and to their families and friends for my actions. With regret and sincere apologies, JPJ
