DeMario Jackson may never be feuding with Chris Harrison on "The Bachelor" and "Bachelor in Paradise", but they're not friendly either. In a new interview on "The Rose Buds" podcast, the former reality TV star reveals the show's host Chris seemed to hate him from the beginning.

"Prior to the whole Corinne show, [Chris] had a hard on for me as if like, I like, hooked up with his wife or something. It was crazy," Jackson said on the podcast. "I met this guy three total times for less than 10 seconds and he legit hated- like, when I say hate, like deep-rooted."

He recalled one of their encounters, "Like him and I at the 'Men Tell All', we had like 30 minutes of battle and I'm like 'bro, Lexi- I was already told they put her up to it...And then he went to the press and talked all this s**t when we were in the middle of all this."

"It was to the point where like 100 percent I kept it real, I called Louie and I said 'If he tries this s**t when I do the sit down with Corinne, I will knock him the f**k out. Like period. Like straight up.' I was like, I just don't like the blatant disrespect for a man that I do not know, like bro, I met you three times for less than this," DeMario explained. "And it's funny because the media will portray certain people in certain lights and what not, but he had a crazy hard on for me and I did not get it at all. It was nuts."

Commenting on this season's Bachelor, Arie Luyendyk Jr., DeMario said, "It's like when you go to the store and they have like the regular brand and they have like the value brand. My next shirts are going to be straight up, 'Peter [Kraus] is my Bachelor,' like straight up. We all know. the whole world."

"Come on, I mean, you can't have this...old guy with all these 23-year-olds who just want fame and Instagram followers. Like, that's common sense," he added. "I don't think a 23-year-old really wants to get married. But hey, wish them the best of luck, You never know."

Speaking of his relationship with Corinne Olympios, whom he's reportedly dating following their scandalous brief stint on "Paradise", DeMario said, "You know what, I was so naive to all of this, like, I legit, was like, 'This is gonna die down the next day.' And then it's like, 'OK, the next day.' And then it was a month later. And then two months later And now we're like, in October and I'm just thinking like, 'What the hell?' Can her and I, can we just have fun?"

The two recently reunited at Maxim's Halloween party in Los Angeles on Saturday night, October 21. They reportedly have met up a few times, with friends, since the scandal.

Chris has not responded to DeMario's comment about him, but he once talked about the 30-year-old after the "Men Tell All" special. "DeMario's DeMario," he said. "You kind of take him for who he is. He's a loudmouth, he's funny, it's DeMario. You take him with a grain of salt, for sure. He said probably the most horrible, sexist, misogynistic things and then started jumping on Lee about being a misogynist. So if anybody should not be throwing stones in this glass house, probably DeMario."
