'Bachelor In Paradise' Season 4 Will Start Filming Again

There's a major update to the situation surrounding Bachelor in Paradise. Warner Bros. has announced that Bachelor in Paradise Season 4 will start filming again now that the investigation into allegations of misconduct on set is complete. According to the production company, producing is resuming and "certain changes" will take place when it comes to the show's policies.

Warner Bros. released the following statement to Bustle:

“As we previously stated, we recently became aware of allegations regarding an incident on the set of Bachelor in Paradise in Mexico. We take all such allegations seriously. The safety, security and well-being of the cast and crew is our number one concern, and we suspended filming so that the allegations could be investigated immediately and thoroughly. Our internal investigation, conducted with the assistance of an outside law firm, has now been completed. 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. Nor does the tape show, contrary to many press reports, that the safety of any cast member was ever in jeopardy. Production on this season of Bachelor in Paradise will be resuming, and we plan to implement certain changes to the show’s policies and procedures to enhance and further ensure the safety and security of all participants.”

Update: On Tuesday, Corinne Olympios' lawyer Martin Singer released a statement to Bustle that read,

“It needs to be made crystal clear that production of 'Bachelor in Paradise' was shut down because of multiple complaints received from 'BIP' producers and crew members on the set. It was not shut down due to any complaint filed by Corinne against anyone. It comes as no surprise that Warner Bros., as a result of its own internal Investigation, would state that no wrong doing had occurred. Our own investigation will continue based on multiple new witnesses coming forward revealing what they saw and heard.”

Earlier: While the statement doesn't share specifics, it sounds like, basically, the show will go on as intended. There is no word on whether Corinne Olympios or DeMario Jackson, who were at the center of the controversy after reports came out that alleged that there may have been a nonconsensual sexual encounter between them, will be returning to the show. Bustle has reached out to reps for Olympios and Jackson for comment, but has not yet received a response. TMZ reports that no decisions have been made when it comes to the two and their place on the show.

Previously, Olympios shared a statement with Bustle, which reads,

“I am a victim and have spent the last week trying to make sense of what happened on June 4. Although I have little memory of that night, something bad obviously took place, which I understand is why production on the show has now been suspended and a producer on the show has filed a complaint against the production. As a woman, this is my worst nightmare and it has now become my reality. As I pursue the details and facts surrounding that night and the immediate days after, I have retained a group of professionals to ensure that what happened on June 4 comes to light and I can continue my life, including hiring an attorney to obtain justice and seeking therapy to begin dealing with the physical and emotional trauma stemming from that evening.”

Jackson shared in his statement to Bustle:

"It's unfortunate that my character and family name has been assassinated this past week with false claims and malicious allegations. I will be taking swift and appropriate legal action until my name is cleared and, per the advice of legal counsel, will be seeking all available remedies entitled to me under the laws."

Soon after Warner Bros. announced that the show would go on, ABC shared in a statement to Bustle:

“We appreciate the swift and complete investigation by Warner Bros. into allegations of misconduct on the set of ‘Bachelor in Paradise.’ Given their results, the series will resume production, and will air this summer on ABC.”

An exact premiere date was not given. The show was originally slated to start Aug. 8.
