‘Bachelor In Paradise’ Halts Production After ‘Allegations Of Misconduct’
There’s a scandal big enough to halt production on the scandalous Bachelor in Paradise? Guess so!
ABC has ceased filming the upcoming new season of the reality show, so it’s clearly something major. On Sunday, Warner Bros. announced in a statement:
“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.”
Blogger Reality Steve (Steve Carbon) has been following the situation, and has indicated the whole show has been cancelled.
(MAJOR SPOILER): From I’ve been told, the show has been cancelled. They’re done. Everyone’s being sent home. (1/3)

He also tweeted that sources tell him the incident involves Corinne Olympios, from Nick Viall’s season, and DeMario Jackson, from the current season of The Bachelorette with Rachel Lindsay. Neither are seen in the photo.

The summer series features former Bachelor and Bachelorette contestants who reunite in Sayulita, Mexico for another chance at love. The new cast was just announced last week. Production for the 4th season had begun recently, and was set to premiere on August 8.
Reality Steve is tweeting updates as he gets them. Here are two of the most recent:
I know you’re immediately thinking the worst. I honestly don’t think it’s that. At least not what I heard.

From what I was told, no one involved was hurt. Production had to stop, the show is basically cancelled & there’s an investigation going on.
