Danielle Maltby Issues Apology For Offensive Comments Made About Sierra Jackson

Michael Allio and Sierra Jackson built a connection on Season 8 of “Bachelor In Paradise” almost immediately.

Within the first few days on the beach, Michael broke down his walls and opened up about the loss of his wife, Laura, and how life is as a single parent. Sierra responded with support, and even named a group of stars after Michael’s family, including his late wife.

Unfortunately, that was the same night Michael ended things with Sierra, which threw her off guard. The single father said there was “something missing” between them, leaving Sierra heartbroken. Instead of staying on the beach to see who else would walk down, she decided to leave.

Michael stayed on the beach and luckily for him, Danielle Maltby, former “Bachelor” and “Bachelor In Paradise” contestant lost her fiancé to a drug overdose, walked down the stairs. After she arrived, Michael admitted he and Danielle have had past conversations, but never met in person.

When the episode aired, Sierra live Tweeted about the situation, questioning the timing of it all.

More recently, Danielle went onto Kaitlyn Bristowe's podcast to discuss the drama, to which, both Danelle and Kaitlyn made some offensive comments about Sierra.

While on Kaitlyn's podcast, both the host and the "Bachelor In Paradise" contestant referred to Sierra Jackson as "what's her name," which many found offensive. The two also downplayed the situation involving Sierra, to which many fans found to be disrespectful.

Sierra took to Twitter at the time, sharing notes from the podcast while writing, “Leaving these here.”

She continued to explain, “For clarity, I’m over Michael & have been. This is why I don’t understand why I’m a point of topic for them. Those who keep saying ‘get over it’… It’s comical [because] I’m in a relationship. But damn near 40 & hating on a 27 yr old that also had your man? Good bye. My feelings are valid.”

Now, Danielle is speaking out about the comments made, apologizing to Sierra for her actions.

“I just really wanna apologize for hurting your feelings," she said. "You know, I mean, I wasn’t there during the relationship. It had resolved by the time I got down there and I shouldn’t have spoken into it.”

The 37-year-old concluded by saying, “And I just really, truly wish nothing but the best for her and I’m just really excited to move forward with my relationship with Michael.”

Kaitlyn Bristowe also spoke out since the podcast aired, owning up to her actions and apologizing to Sierra.

“Sierra, I am deeply sorry," she wrote in a Tweet replying to Sierra's initial post. "I have been reflecting for a few days and I see where I went wrong. I sent you a DM a couple days ago and one now, on Instagram. Would love to apologize offline and to you personally.”

At the time of publication, Sierra has not responded to Kaitlyn or Danielle's apologies.
