Jenna Cooper Explains Why She Eloped, Details Healing From ‘Bachelor in Paradise’ Scandal

usmagazine.com:

Jenna Cooper has happily moved on from her time in Bachelor Nation, but she knows fans will not soon forget the wild plot twist her time on season 5 of Bachelor in Paradise took.“A lot of people ask and I’m fine to talk about it because now, I don’t know, I’m not as triggered,” the 32-year-old former reality star said on Us Weekly’s “Here for the Right Reasons” podcast while promoting her partnership with Jane. “I don’t think there is a form of justice possible [or] that could heal or fix me completely — or my family who unfortunately had to deal with that, which I hate.”During the 2018 season of BiP, Cooper got engaged to Jordan Kimball.

Their relationship was short-lived, however, after reports claimed she was “running an entire escort service” and not faithful to Kimball.

Cooper denied the claims from the beginning and one year later, Reality Steve issued an apology for his reporting.“I love that the truth is out, but I think, still, nobody knows exactly what happened.

I know a lot more than I’ve shared, but there’s even still things I’m figuring out,” Cooper told Us. “It is the weirdest, creepiest [situation], like, mysterious stalkers, psycho, lots of narcissists involved.”The Bachelor season 22 alum added that she’s “a lot stronger” now, explaining, “When I think back, [I don’t even know] how I made it through.”“As much as I wanna say, ‘I wish it didn’t happen,’ I still wouldn’t change one thing to end up where I am now,” she continued. “I learned a lot and I’m so happy to be out of it.
