AceShowbiz - Joel Kim Booster has apologized for his comments against Shannon Beador, a star of the upcoming "Real Housewives" dating show "Love Hotel". Booster, who is the host of the show, took to social media to apologize for alleging that Beador had treated the production crew "like they are subhuman."
Booster stated that he regretted making his comments, which he made in the heat of an "onset conflict." He acknowledged that he had let his emotions get the best of him and accessed the "darkest, ugliest part" of himself.
Booster apologized specifically to Beador, noting the difficult year she has had, including her arrest for DUI and hit-and-run. He expressed that he should have had more grace for her and that he deeply regretted making her path towards stability more difficult.
When asked about Booster's comments, Beador expressed confusion and hurt. She stated that Booster had been nothing but supportive towards her throughout the filming process.
Beador questioned the origin of Booster's allegations and said that she was sad to have her experience on the show marred by his comments. However, she added that she hoped the incident would be forgotten and that people would focus on the positive aspects of the show.
Booster emphasized his pride in the work that he and the crew had put into "Love Hotel." He expressed his love for the crew and staff and stated that he would "go to war" for each and every one of them.
Despite his apology, the incident has raised questions about the behind-the-scenes dynamics of reality television shows and the treatment of crew members. Peacock, the streaming platform for "Love Hotel," did not comment on the allegations.
