In last week's premiere of Bachelor in Paradise, Chad said, "F-ck that one armed b-tch," after Sarah accused him of verbally abusing the bachelorettes and being overly aggressive. Chad also told her to "suck a d-ck." While he claimed they were jokes, the entire cast believed he was disrespectful and out of line.
"It was really hurtful. It was surprising too," Sarah told After Paradise co-hosts Sean Lowe and Michelle Collins.
"To even hear the things you said in your interviews was incredibly unexpected. I didn't think it was as bad as it really was once I watched it play back. And it was painful."
Chad was then given a chance to address the situation in front of everyone watching. It's probably safe to say he felt horrible watching Sarah cry on Bachelor in Paradise over his insensitive slams.
"I am sorry. I should absolutely have never said that," Chad explained. "I did not want to say anything like that, and when I got home, the first thing I said was, 'You know, I make offensive jokes, but thank God I never said anything about that."
Chad admitted he doesn't remember anything from that first chaotic night of filming once he became intoxicated.
"And I'll let you know, like, for the first seven or eight hours, I honestly didn't even notice [your arm]!" Chad said to Sarah, which prompted an eye roll from guests Jubilee Sharpe and Diablo Cody.
"But here is the thing, Sarah is here to promote her charity, SheLift.org. It's to help people who are born without limbs, and I understand that."
Without necessarily trying to justify his rude remarks, Chad attempted to explain why he reached that point with Sarah to begin with.
"It just annoyed me when you followed me around all night, and you kept telling me what I could or could not say," Chad recalled, "and eventually, I snapped and I said something I shouldn't have. I apologize for saying what I shouldn't have said."
"Thank you," Sarah noted.

"I accept. Yeah, thank you," Sarah said in a pretty believable way. "I think that's what I wanted, to hear it face to face in person. I mean, I know you apologized on Twitter and on ET, but you know a lot of people that have my phone number, and you didn't do anything about it."
Michelle, a comedian and talk show host then interjected and said, "Let's not ruin what I thought was a great moment. I think that was really nice."
"Yeah, thank you," Sarah repeated to Chad.
