DeMario Jackson And Corinne Olympios Engaged In ‘Bachelor In Paradise’ Sexual Misconduct: Source
“Bachelor in Paradise” was suspended Sunday after there was sexual misconduct between two cast members, and now TMZ and the Los Angeles Times claim to know the responsible parties. “Bachelor” and “Bachelorette” villains DeMario Jackson and Corinne Olympios reportedly hooked up in a pool on the first day of filming Season 4 in Mexico. Things were so raunchy that a producer felt uncomfortable and Warner Bros. made the decision to halt filming while the incident was being investigated.
So what needed to be explored? Apparently there are different versions of what went down between Jackson and Olympios, but one thing remains constant: There was a lot of alcohol involved.

From what’s been shared through sources, Jackson’s side of the story has been revealed.
He and Olympios were told one of the story lines for Season 4 would be them “hooking up” since they are both the “villains” from their seasons. So they met at a bar, had many drinks, and Jackson claimed Olympios hopped in his lap and started to make out with him. “Intense rubbing was involved,” sources told TMZ.
As cameramen filmed, Olympios suggested they go in a swimming pool. That’s when they ditched their clothes and “rubbing, touching and fingering” took place. Next, Jackson reportedly claimed Olympios put her genitals in his face and his licked, though this detail is apparently disputed since some people disagree with it. Jackson reportedly claimed they did not have sex because of the amount of alcohol he consumed.
The morning after, things were fine between Jackson and Olympios, but the problem arose when they were told to meet with executive producer Tuesday after one of the producers was uncomfortable with what was filmed in the pool the night before.
The producer reportedly filed a complaint, Jackson and Olympios were “released” and filming was suspended while the “misconduct” was investigated.
There are reportedly various versions of what transpired in Mexico last week.

L.A. Times writer Amy Kaufman also talk to an insider from “Bachelor in Paradise. ” She tweeted her source’s version of events:
I just spoke to a source who says he knows why ‘Bachelor in Paradise’ was just cancelled. Here we go: On the first day of production, Sunday, DeMario and Corinne got extremely drunk, per my source. Corinne came up to DeMario at the bar and kissed him. They proceeded to the pool, where they got naked. From this point forward, things turned into ‘soft core porn.’ They did not have sex. But it was very raunchy. The following day, Monday, a producer who witnessed this hook-up did not show up to work. According to my source, this producer went on to sue the production for misconduct over what she witnessed between DeMario and Corinne. DeMario and Corinne were both shown footage of their hookup during their interviews in the days following their rendezvous. I will report more as I have it. My source was told a producer filed a ‘third party complaint,’ to clarify my above comment.
Warner Bros. did not immediately reveal if the show was canceled. “We have become aware of allegations of misconduct on the set of ‘Bachelor in Paradise’ in Mexico,” the company said in a statement. “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.”
