The fourth season of the ‚Bachelor‘ summer spinoff was being filmed for a summer air date.
ABC has halted filming on the upcoming new season of Bachelor in Paradise.
„We have become aware of allegations of misconduct on the set of Bachelor in Paradise in Mexico, “ Warner Bros. said in a statement on Sunday. „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.”
The fourth season of the ABC reality series had recently begun filming and is slated to premiere on Aug. 8.
The summer series reunites former castoffs of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette at a resort in Sayulita, Mexico in hopes they find love with other stars of the franchise. ABC had announced the first round of the Bachelor in Paradise cast last week. The 16 men and women who had begun filming included two runner-ups from previous seasons, two returning Bachelor in Paradise stars and four villains, including Corinne Olympios from Nick Viall’s season of The Bachelor and a recent castoff of Rachel Lindsay’s The Bachelorette, DeMario Jackson.
Blogger Reality Steve (Steve Carbone) posted a photo of many of the show’s stars who were snapped by a fan at the airport, saying the cast is only being told that they’re being flown to Houston.
Carbone, who has long posted spoilers on the show, said the incident in question allegedly involves Olympios and Jackson. Neither were seen in the photo.
Though the initial cast list has been announced, more familiar franchise faces were set to join the Chris Harrison-hosted spinoff and would be announced at a later date. The cast of BIP shuffles each week, with a handful of contestants joining the dating competition throughout to shake up existing and form new relationships. Last year’s cycle ended with three engagements, though only one couple (Carly Waddell and Evan Bass) is still set to walk down the aisle.
On June 3, Bachelor creator Mike Fleiss had announced that filming on the season had begun by posting a picture of Harrison on set in Mexico, along with a photo of the show’s resident bartender, Jorge.
