« Out of respect for the privacy interests of those involved, we do not intend to release the videotape of the incident. We can say, however, that the tape does not support any charge of misconduct by a cast member.

« Bachelor in Paradise » cast members Corinne Olympios and DeMario Jackson identified themselves as being involved in the incident, but they did not specify exactly what took place.
Both Olympios and Jackson hired publicists and retained legal counsel in the past week.
