Everything we know about the ‘Bachelor in Paradise’ sex scandal that could kill the show
ABC
“Bachelor in Paradise” contestants Corinne Olympios and DeMario Jackson are at the center of sexual assault allegations.
A “Bachelor in Paradise’ scandal threatens to not only cancel the show, but forever change ABC’s long-running hit “Bachelor” franchise going forward.
The alleged “sexual misconduct” incident that occurred while taping last week in Mexico has shut down production, forced ABC and show producer Warner Horizon into launching an investigation, and threatens to cancel the show.
On Wednesday, both “Bachelor in Paradise” contestants who are reportedly at the center of the alleged incident, DeMario Jackson and Corinne Olympios, released their first official statements. Both claimed they’re victims of the scandal and have sought legal counsel.
How did we get here, and what’s next? Here’s a rundown of all the events we know so far:
The potential for a sexual misconduct scandal was already at play.
Before we go into the actual events of the current scandal, we have to acknowledge that all the elements for it have been cooking for years. It’s almost a wonder that it took 15 years of “The Bachelor” and multiple spin-offs for a sexual misconduct scandal to happen.
Just look at the mix: An attractive young man or woman vying for the attention of equally attractive people, competition, hunger for celebrity, and in many cases, a real desire to fall in love. Throw alcohol into the mix and you have a recipe for possible disaster, and certainly legal trouble.
That said, the current “Bachelor in Paradise” scandal — in which a female cast member was, according to reported allegations from those working on the show, sexually assaulted while too drunk to consent — clearly stepped over the boundaries set for reality TV.
A veteran reality TV producer, who has never worked on the “Bachelor” franchise but has worked on similar shows, told Variety that they found this incident “unusual.”
“My concern about this situation is that if the person was beyond a point of making her choices and was still being shot and being put into this scenario, it’s a very weird situation,” the producer said. “When you talk about sexual assault, it’s almost always just two people alone and it becomes a he-said-she-said situation; this is the most unusual situation because not only is there a third party, but there are cameras that watched everything that happened and everything that led up to what happened. That, to me, is the smoking gun as to why a franchise worth hundreds of millions of dollars was shut down.”
Sunday, June 4: Day of the alleged sexual assault.
With three seasons under its belt, taping on its fourth season started on this day in Mexico. Taping was slated to last three weeks. It also happened to be the day when the reported incident occurred.
Sources told news outlets that a sexual encounter between DeMario Jackson (“The Bachelorette” season 13) and Corinne Olympios (“The Bachelor” season 21) occurred when she was too drunk to give proper consent and the show’s cameras were rolling.
TMZ published a graphic description of the alleged sexual encounter between the contestants in a hot tub.
Tuesday, June 6: An investigation was underway, production halted, and the contestants were placed on lockdown.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, production continued on the show Monday. But at some point between Sunday and Tuesday, a producer filed a complaint of potential sexual misconduct. It isn’t clear whether that producer was present while the incident was being taped.
On the condition of anonymity, a contestant told People that taping was being suspended and the cast members were placed on lockdown Tuesday, meaning they were sent to separate rooms, couldn’t contact one another, and were under constant supervision by production.
“We were told to stay in a certain part of the [resort] while they figured out what the hell had happened,” the contestant said “We knew something bad had happened; there was a dark energy that came around the house. You have to understand that we weren’t even there a week. The game hadn’t even really begun yet.”
THR reported that DeMario Jackson and Corinne Olympios had been questioned ahead of the other contestants after the complaint was filed and were sent home.
Thursday, June 8: The cast members were informed of the investigation and told that the season will probably be canceled.
The anonymous cast member told People that the producers officially informed the contestants that an investigation was underway and it didn’t look like they show would be returning this season.
“One of them was crying. She told us that it was over and we’d all be going home,” the contestant said of a meeting with a producer held after the lockdown.
“[The producer] was like, ‘I don’t think that’s realistic,'” the cast member continued of the likelihood that production would resume. “She said that there was an investigation going on, and that could take days, weeks, or even months. And by that time, we all have lives and jobs and things to go back to, so it just wasn’t going to work out. They told us that we’d be considered for future seasons and opportunities in the franchise, but that this adventure was probably over.”
Over the next few days, the cast and crew were questioned individually, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Sunday, June 11: Producers sent the cast home and the producers officially went public about the investigation.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, 20 cast members (only 16 had been previously announced) and 25 crew members were sent home on Sunday. Most arrived back to their homes by Monday.
TMZ broke the story of the investigation and production suspension on Sunday.
Amid mounting reports, Warner Bros. confirmed the investigation and suspension of production to the public.
“We have become aware of allegations of misconduct on the set of ‘Bachelor in Paradise’ in Mexico,” the studio said. “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.”
Monday, June 12: The cast spoke out as a media frenzy began around the investigation.
With their phones back in hand and many having arrived back home, several of the contestants began posting to social media regarding the scandal. Among those who commented were Taylor Nolan, Robbie Hayes, and Raven Gates (pictured above).
Nolan thanked friends and family for their support and referenced the potential cancellation of the season with the hashtag #ripbip4.
Tuesday, June 13: “Bachelor” franchise host Chris Harrison released a statement.
Two days after the news broke of the scandal and amid analysis of the fallout for the show and the whole “Bachelor” franchise, host Chris Harrison released a statement asking for patience pending the results of the investigation.
“There are a lot of competing details in the various press accounts of the incident,” he said. “And there’s a lot of misinformation out there, too. We urge everyone to be patient until the investigation is complete.”
DeMario Jackson was also caught on video by “Entertainment Tonight” in Los Angeles and briskly said, “I have nothing to say. You know, Corinne’s an awesome girl and that’s all I have to say.”
Wednesday, June 14: Corinne OIympios and DeMario Jackson broke their silence on the scandal.
About a week after they were questioned and sent home from Mexico and reports placed them in the center of the scandal, Corinne Olympios and DeMario Jackson released their first official statements.
Olympios’ statement went public on TMZ just before noon ET on Wednesday. The alleged victim announced that she had hired famed attorney Marty Singer to represent her and said she had very little memory of what occurred that night, adding, “I’m a victim.”
Later on Wednesday evening around 7 p.m. ET, Jackson followed suit via a statement to E! News. He decried the public assassination of his character, called the allegations “false” and “malicious,” and said that he had also sought legal counsel to clear his name.
What’s next?
ABC and Warner Bros. have yet to announce the results of their investigation, which The Hollywood Reporter reports could take about two weeks. While there has been speculation that the show will be canceled, production sources and analysts have pretty much concluded that the current fourth season at the very least won’t resume and won’t air on its set August 4 premiere date.
As of yet, no charges have been filed with law enforcement.
In the short term, THR reported that plans to air the wedding of “Bachelor in Paradise” couple Evan Bass and Carly Waddell is on hold as it was to be taped this weekend in Mexico with many of the cast members in attendance.
The fallout for “The Bachelor” in general is yet to be determined. Will advertisers begin to withdraw from the franchise? Will viewers be turned off from watching the shows or arrive in record numbers to see how the franchise will bounce back?
It’s all up in the air.
