In June, production for the show was temporary halted to investigate allegations of misconduct. In a statement, it was revealed, “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.” It was soon discovered that the two contestants involved were Corinne Olympios and DeMario Jackson.
