Our long national nightmare is over: no evidence of sexual assault was found during the filming of Bachelor in Paradise and the show will go on. Looks like DeMario Jackson is a saint and Corrine Olympios is a liar.
The report comes courtesy of TMZ and Warner Bros. released the following statement on the investigation and the show resuming:
“As we previously stated, we recently became aware of allegations regarding an incident on the set of Bachelor in Paradise in Mexico. We take all such allegations seriously. The safety, security and well-being of the cast and crew is our number one concern, and we suspended filming so that the allegations could be investigated immediately and thoroughly. Our internal investigation, conducted with the assistance of an outside law firm, has now been completed. Out of respect for the privacy interests of those involved, we do not intend to release the videotape of the incident. We can say, however, that the tape does not support any charge of misconduct by a cast member. Nor does the tape show, contrary to many press reports, that the safety of any cast member was ever in jeopardy. Production on this season of Bachelor in Paradise will be resuming, and we plan to implement certain changes to the show’s policies and procedures to enhance and further ensure the safety and security of all participants.”
This story has taken many twists and turns over the past two weeks. Some reported that Corrine Olympios was “limp” and “unconscious” before, during, and after the hookup. Others reported that Olympios was humping other cast members immediately after the hookup. While we’ll never know what really happen, we can all agree that this is the best promotion of the show ever.
I actually want to watch this show now. And all it took was a sexual assault scandal.
