Whereas Michel Allius et Danielle Malby are ready to move forward Bachelor in Paradise, couple can own where they went wrong with costar Sierra Jackson.
Michael, 38, was linked to Sierra, 27, before Danielle, 37, arrived in Mexico in season 8 of BiP. The single dad has been criticized for the way he ended things with the yoga instructor as he still cited grief over the death of his wife Laura as one of the reasons for the breakup. When Danielle arrived soon after, Michael quickly contacted the nurse.

I would do it again,” Michael said on We WeeklyThe “Here for the Right Reasons” podcast after the final on Tuesday, November 22. “Where I really stumbled was not being able to explain myself in a way that she deserved, you know, letting her know more so that she just wasn’t the right person for me. And I really should have ended up like this. And so, for that, I apologize and I apologized to her at the meeting for that. And I wish him the best. I know she will find love. He’s a great person and we’re really focused on ourselves now.
Danielle, for her part, spoke about the situation for the first time on Kaitlyn BristoweThe “Off the Vine” podcast from November 17. The Nashville resident and Season 11 Bachelorette faced backlash for calling Sierra “what’s her face” and was accused of downplaying her feelings for Michael.
“Leave ’em here,” Sierra wrote alongside the podcast episode’s notes. “For clarity, I’m over Michael and I have been. That’s why I don’t understand why I’m a talking point for them. Those who keep saying ‘move on’… It’s comical [because] I am in a relationship. But damn near 40 and hating a 27 year old who also had your man? Goodbye. My feelings are valid.

ABC/Craig SjodinWhen asked what her message to Sierra would be, Danielle said We“I really want to apologize for hurting your feelings. You know, I mean, I wasn’t there during the relationship. It was resolved by the time I got there and I shouldn’t have mentioned it.
She concluded: “And I really, really wish nothing but the best for her and I’m so excited to move forward with my relationship with Michael.”
Kaitlyn, for her part, apologized to Sierra via Twitter earlier this month. “Sierra, I am deeply sorry. I’ve been thinking for a few days and I see where I went wrong. I DMed you a few days ago and one now, on Instagram. I would love to apologize offline and to you personally,” she wrote.
The Bachelor the Season 26 alum replied, “Appreciate that, I wouldn’t have been looking to find your DMs if you hadn’t tweeted. It’s hard to accept your apology because I think it’s only justified after being called. After my experience, I find it hard to believe that people are genuine in the public eye. I will answer too privately. TY. »
