After the proposal, Gabi sat down with Bachelor host Jesse Palmer to give an emotional statement.
"I’m still hurting - hurting even more obviously from everything I’ve seen," Gabi said.
Afterward, Zach was brought on stage and they were able to have a face-to-face discussion.
"I think what is challenging about this is that we had so many positive moments that day," Gabi said to Zach.
"I’m disappointed by how everything in the evening portion was aired because there was so much to our night that wasn’t - the conversation around intimacy was five seconds of it."
She continued: "It was a moment that we shared together and we both were happy about that and it was consensual and it was what we both wanted. we decided that it was gonna be between us.
"We said that that night – and I remember – I was brushing my teeth and you came up behind me and kissed me on the back of my head and said, 'This is just between us.' And I said, 'Yes. This is just between us.' And when you came to my hotel I was blindsided."
During that discussion, Gabi was referencing the moment in fantasy suite week when Zach popped by her room to tell her he wanted to be honest about their decision to have sex.
“What I wish would have happened was that you warned me that you were gonna use my name and you were gonna tell everyone what had happened," she continued.
In response, Zach said: "Gabi I look back at everything and the way I handled things was completely wrong. There’s no excuse for the way I handled things. Bringing it to light. My mind felt like - which is wrong - I felt like I needed to let everyone know that I went against my word.
"In reality, it hurt you. In my mind, it was just this secret that I had to not have but in reality, it was much more than that. There’s nothing I can do to right that wrong but I want you to know that the last thing I wanted to do was to hurt you like that it was just me trying to be honest and that doesn’t matter because it hurt you more."
At this time, it is unclear if Gabi will return to the Bac
