Not too long ago, Robby Hayes, a contestant on Bachelor in Paradise 2017, came under intense criticism for his tweet regarding the infamous incident that brought the show’s production to a grinding halt. Warner Bros. stopped filming pending an in-depth investigation into the allegation that two contestants engaged in misconduct. That’s when Hayes tweeted, “What happens in paradise, stays in paradise.” He faced strong criticism for his tweet, with many saying his words were “tasteless” and one fan even writing, “Is that how you feel about allegations of sexual assault? Disgusting.” The storm seems to have blown over, and filming for Bachelor in Paradise has resumed, much to the relief of fans. Hayes is an interesting person, so we have some details from his wiki.
