The Golden Bachelorette’s Pascal Ibgui is speaking out after throwing shade at castmate Chock Chapple during a recent interview.

Following his self-elimination on the October 30 episode of the ABC dating show, Pascal, 69, compared Chock, 60, to acting like a “stalker” in an interview with Glamour. “I wanted to make this video because I want to thank Bachelor Nation, to include me in the first Golden Bachelorette season. What an incredible experience. I had the chance to meet some incredible gentlemen along the way,” Pascal began his Sunday, November 10, Instagram video. “But the most important is I want to apologize to Chock.”

He continued: “Me calling him a stalker was out of line, inappropriate, uncalled for and definitely the wrong use of word. So please, Chock, accept my apology.”

Both Pascal and Chock emerged as two of Joan Vᴀssos’ front-runners on The Golden Bachelorette’s debut season, earning two of the earliest one-on-one dates of the season. Chock’s strong feelings for Joan, 61, began to rub the rest of the men the wrong way, especially after he took up lots of time with her during the cast’s bowling group date in episode 5.

Pascal reflected on the tense group date in his interview with Glamour later, stating: “Chock was all over her to the point where he was [like a] stalker. I mean, it was like, ‘I love you, let’s leave. Let’s do this, let’s do that.’ And, ‘Which side of the bed are you sleeping on?’ It’s bizarre behavior. I don’t know. ‘I can’t wait to be with you. I feel my love with you.’ Maybe in Wichita there is no women. I don’t know.”

In his Instagram video, Pascal concluded that he will be tuning in to the show’s season finale on Wednesday and wishes Chock and Guy Gansert “the best of luck.” He said: “Again, thanks Bachelor Nation for the incredible time we spent together. I will always be a member, and I am so grateful. Thank you and Thank you.”

Pascal, Chock and Guy, 66, made it to the fantasy suites dates, during which Pascal and Joan participated in a Tahitian bonding ceremony. Feeling overwhelmed by their sentimental date, Pascal sent himself home after confessing that his feelings for Joan were not as strong as her feelings for him.

“It was long and it was H๏τ, and I felt by the end of that date, things were off. He couldn’t get out of there fast enough,” Joan told Entertainment Weekly earlier this month. “I felt the same way, honestly. … I was thinking this could be the end of us, that we would end up in Fantasy Suites and we would talk about, ‘Are we good? What is holding us back and are we going to get past it?’ And that one of us was going to make a decision that night that this wasn’t going to work. He came with his mind already made up.”

Pascal’s time on The Golden Bachelorette may be over, but he exclusively told Us Weekly that he’s open to becoming the next Golden Bachelor — under one condition. “They will have to lower the age,” he shared. “The age [has] got to be lower. Yes, I’m old, but I don’t go out with a 72-year-old woman.”
