There are allegations of sexual assault being tossed around on the "Bachelor in Paradise" set. And it involves “Bachelorette” contestant DeMario Jackson and “Bachelor” contestant Corinne Olympios. Get the latest inside…
Filming for the spinoff “Bachelor In Paradise” in Mexico has been suspended due to some "sexual misconduct." Former “Bachelorette” star DeMario Jackson (ugh) and former “Bachelor” contestant Corinne Olympios (double ugh) are at the center of the drama.
You remember DeMario. He was the one who got busted by his girlfriend on the “Bachelorette” and Rachel Lindsay had to tell his a$$ ALL the way off.
So here’s what we know….
A field producer for the show reportedly filed a complaint alleging that Corinne got totally wasted during the FIRST day of filming in Los Cabos, Mexico.
Apparently, whatever sexual activity that went down in the pool between Corinne and DeMario has caused the show to be put on hold. The producer claims Corinne was way too intoxicated to have given DeMario consent for the sexual antics that popped off while they were all over each other in the pool. And he/she believes Corinne was sexually assaulted, yet the cameras kept rolling as it all went down. It's unclear what Corrine is telling folks.
If you watched last season of the Bachelor, you know why Corinne was basically the villain of the season.
TMZ served up the details:
The producer in question believes Corinne may have been sexually assaulted, although we know DeMario claims the encounter was not only consensual ... she was the instigator.
TMZ broke the story of DeMario's version of events ... that he and Corinne were drinking heavily and making out at the bar. She suggested they take it to the swimming pool, where they took their clothes off and began "rubbing, touching and fingering." He also claims she put her genitals in his face and he began licking. He says he was unable to consummate things because he was so drunk.
Our sources say the field producer in question was assigned to shadow Corinne, and began hearing stories from people on the set that Corinne was so drunk she had no idea what was going on in the pool. It's unclear if the producer watched the incident, but we know she has NOT seen the footage.
People familiar with the footage tell TMZ Corinne appears "fully engaged." As we reported, after the complaint was filed Warner Bros immediately dismissed both DeMario and Corinne and launched an investigation into "misconduct."
Warner Bros. released a statement about the incident saying, "We have become aware of allegations of misconduct on the set of Bachelor in Paradise in Mexico. We have suspended production and we are conducting a thorough investigation of these allegations. Once the investigation is complete, we will take appropriate responsive action."
According to E! News sources, production has been suspended "indefinitely" and DeMario and Corinne have been sent home.
If she was THAT drunk, why didn’t production step in to make sure she didn’t get sexually assaulted? We know production doesn't like to intervene because, ratings, but if something criminal is happening right in front of them....
Something in the milk ain't clean. Not sure about y'all, but this is feeling way too close to a story line on our other fave show "Unreal."
"Bachelor Paradise" was slated to premiere on Tuesday, August 8th.
