It appears that two of the contestants on this year's Bachelor in Paradise got drunk, and started doing 'soft core porn' in the pool, which led to the show being shut down and cancelled. It appears that the woman in question was 'too drunk to give consent', and a producer who saw it called a halt to the whole show.

'Bachelor in Paradise' production halted after alleged 'misconduct' involving Corrine Olympios and DeMario Jackson

Production on "Bachelor in Paradise" - the popular spinoff of ABC's "The Bachelor" franchise - was shut down over the weekend after alleged "misconduct" on set, Warner Bros. has confirmed. E!, which broke the story, reported that an individual close to the program says the show is "totally done for this season and possibly forever."
"Bachelor in Paradise," which recently started filming its fourth season, features former "Bachelor" and "Bachelorette" contestants living together in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, as they "explore new relationships" in a "secluded and dreamy paradise," as ABC describes it. The goal is basically to stir up as much drama and feature as many hookups as possible, as the producers tend to mix together villains, enemies and fan favorites from previous seasons.
It's unclear exactly what happened to shutter production, but reports from TMZ and Entertainment Tonight point to an incident in the pool between contestants Corinne Olympios and DeMario Jackson. According to Los Angeles Times reporter Amy Kaufman, who is writing a book about "The Bachelor," a producer filed a complaint after witnessing the incident. Production stopped and the entire cast was sent home, Entertainment Weekly reported.
ABC did not respond to questions about what occurred. On Sunday evening, Warner Bros. released 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."
Olympios is known as last season's villain on "The Bachelor," and she became famous for her immensely quotable lines and the fact that she was a 24-year-old with a nanny; she was one of the final four before she was eliminated by bachelor Nick Viall. Jackson made headlines two weeks ago on "The Bachelorette," when a woman claiming to be his girlfriend showed up on set. After Jackson couldn't come up with a solid explanation, bachelorette Rachel Lindsay sent him packing.
Last week, ABC announced that "Bachelor in Paradise" would premiere on Aug. 8.

'Something bad obviously took place'; Model on suspended 'Bachelor in Paradise' claims she's a 'victim' but doesn't remember much of night

LOS ANGELES — A Bachelor in Paradise contestant says she’s a “victim” of undisclosed events that led to production of the reality show being put on hold.
In a statement Wednesday, Corinne Olympios said she has hired an attorney and is seeking therapy to deal with what she called the physical and emotional trauma she experienced.
"I am a victim and have spent the last week trying to make sense of what happened on June 4," the model told TMZ.com. "Although I have little memory of that night, something bad obviously took place, which I understand is why production on the show has now been suspended and a producer on the show has filed a complaint against the production."
Warner Bros., the company behind ABC’s Bachelor in Paradise, a spin-off of The Bachelor, suspended production and sent contestants home while it investigates allegations of misconduct on the set in Mexico.
Warner Bros. also said it plans appropriate action depending on the outcome.
The studio didn’t provide further details and declined comment Wednesday on Olympios’ statement.
Bachelor in Paradise planned to air its fourth season this summer.
