The Bachelor Contestant Jubilee Sharpe Reveals the Details of Her Tragic Past

Earlier this season, The Bachelor contestant Jubilee Sharpe told Ben Higgins about her tragic family history, saying she was adopted from an orphanage in Haiti after her whole family died. But she didn't go into greater detail at the time.

Now, after returning to The Bachelor for Monday night's Women Tell All special, Sharpe has revealed the whole story to People, and it's heartbreaking.

The 6 most awkward moments of The Bachelor: Women Tell All

"My three brothers and my parents died, but I don't know the details. I was 6, but I don't remember my parents," Sharpe told People. "My 4-year-old little sister and I went to live with my grandmother but she had leprosy and was dying and too sick to take care of us. So she put me and my little sister in an orphanage.

"My dad came to Haiti to do relief work and he showed up to the orphanage and [wanted to adopt me]," she continued. "He tried to adopt my sister, but after they went through the medical process, they found out she had an incurable disease and wasn't able to be adopted."

Sharpe tried to locate her sister a few years ago, but the person who facilitated her adoption told Sharpe her sister was probably dead.

"That's where my guilt had come from," Sharpe says.

Sharpe has described herself as "complicated" due to her past, a characterization that got Chris Harrison in trouble with comedian Amy Schumerwhen he described Sharpe's "complicated" personality as something she needs to work on. But the details of the story show that there's more to Jubilee's background than a simple "complicated" tag.

Sharpe also talked more about other contestants' allegations that she made offensive comments about race.

"I said I am the one full black girl in the house," said Sharpe. "I think of that as a fact. The way they tried to portray me really got to me, like I was the racist black girl. Race has never been a thing for me. My whole [adopted] family is white. I wasn't raised seeing color."
