Whatever is going on — and nobody knows for certain yet — things sound BAD down there, and it is serious enough for Warner Bros. to have issued a statement already outlining what they know, and the investigative action they are taking (below):
“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.”
WOW.
Production had been in full swing before this, and the show had been slated to premiere on August 8 on ABC, but it sounds like something very, very serious may be brewing.
About what?

Well, from what we can glean, it is over contestants DeMario Jackson and Corinne Olympios. Reality Steve has been tweeting quite a bit about it with more details (below):
(MAJOR SPOILER): From I’ve been told, the show has been cancelled. They’re done. Everyone’s being sent home. (1/3)

(MAJOR SPOILER): I’m not at liberty to throw accusations out. But yeah, drinking, sex, cameras, etc. You get the picture. (3/3)

This is a real shitty situation to be honest. I don’t know enough details to speculate. Just know it involves DeMario & Corinne.
— RealitySteve (@RealitySteve) June 11, 2017
I know you’re immediately thinking the worst. I honestly don’t think it’s that. At least not what I heard.
— RealitySteve (@RealitySteve) June 11, 2017
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.
— RealitySteve (@RealitySteve) June 11, 2017
Don’t know all the details. Hopefully for all parties involved it gets resolved. But certainly doesn’t look like BIP is happening.

And Amy Kaufman, a film writer for the LA Times, has more about what happened (below):
I just spoke to a source who says he knows why “Bachelor in Paradise” was just cancelled. Here we go:
— Amy Kaufman (@AmyKinLA) June 11, 2017
On the first day of production, Sunday, DeMario and Corinne got extremely drunk, per my source.
— Amy Kaufman (@AmyKinLA) June 11, 2017
Corinne came up to DeMario at the bar and kissed him. They proceeded to the pool, where they got naked.
— Amy Kaufman (@AmyKinLA) June 11, 2017
From this point forward, things turned into “soft core porn.” They did not have sex. But it was very raunchy.
— Amy Kaufman (@AmyKinLA) June 11, 2017
The following day, Monday, a producer who witnessed this hook-up did not show up to work.
— Amy Kaufman (@AmyKinLA) June 11, 2017
According to my source, this producer went on to sue the production for misconduct over what she witnessed between DeMario and Corinne.
— Amy Kaufman (@AmyKinLA) June 11, 2017
DeMario and Corinne were both shown footage of their hookup during their interviews in the days following their rendezvous.
— Amy Kaufman (@AmyKinLA) June 11, 2017
I will report more as I have it.
— Amy Kaufman (@AmyKinLA) June 11, 2017
My source was told a producer filed a “third party complaint,” to clarify my above comment.
— Amy Kaufman (@AmyKinLA) June 11, 2017
Wowowowowowowowowowowowowow!!!!
