Just a couple of days after Warner Bros. confirmed it’d resume the production of Bachelor In Paradise after an internal investigation found no evidence to back recent allegations of on-set sexual misconduct, a copy of the contract contestants are required to sign has been leaked to CNN.
That was a point of contention regarding the alleged misconduct between Corinne Olympios and DeMario Jackson. It has been alleged that Olympios was too intoxicated to consent to sexual contact with Jackson, and another unnamed contestant claimed producers “could have stopped this before it got this far. But they decided to let it go, and let it happen”.
As it stands, no criminal charges have been pressed against Bachelor In Paradise‘s producers, but both contestants involved have sought legal counsel.
After Warner Bros.’ most recent announcement, a legal representative of Olympios said “it comes as no surprise that Warner Bros., as a result of its own internal Investigation, would state that no wrong doing had occurred,” and their their own investigation would include testimony from “multiple new witnesses”.
