“I really don’t know what I want, and that’s what I’m trying to figure out. And I don’t want to hurt anybody,” Burnett admits.

“I’m afraid of how people are going to take it. I’m afraid of how people change their minds about me.”

The woman was revealed to be Kristian Haggerty, who made a surprise appearance and ended up joining the show to continue her relationship with Burnett in Paradise.

This would make the couple the franchise’s first same-sex on-air relationship.

Burnett and Haggerty would eventually get engaged during the show’s season finale.

What did Demi Burnett say on the Ellen DeGeneres Show?

After being just the second woman to come out as bisexual on one of the franchise spinoffs, Burnett admitted to Ellen Degeneres that her coming-out story wasn’t as seamless as it looked.

” It was a lot of fear. It was fear of judgment. It was fear of disappointing people in my life, making them uncomfortable. It was just really hard. It was really scary. But, I mean, it all worked out in the end,” Burnett told Ellen.

Ellen then praised Burnett and Haggerty – who was seated in the audience – for their bravery.

“It was a huge thing, and I know it was scary for you, but you ultimately became comfortable with it and worked out your relationship, and I just, I admire both of you for doing that,” Ellen said.

However, despite Burnett and Haggerty’s charming moment, the couple called it quits and went their separate ways in November 2019.
