During this time he said he opposed the idea of the show featuring an openly gay bachelor, saying, "I don't think it is a good example for kids to watch that on TV" and that gay people are "more pervert in a sense." ABC, Warner Horizon Television and the show's producers responded with a joint statement saying, "Juan Pablo's comments were careless, thoughtless and insensitive, and in no way reflect the views of the network, the show's producers or studio." Galavis apologized, saying the comments were taken out of context and citing his lack of full fluency in English, stating, "The word pervert was not what I meant to say.... What I meant to say was that gay people are more affectionate and intense and for a segment of the TV audience this would be too racy to accept."
