‘I am a victim’: Corinne speaks out about the alleged ‘Bachelor In Paradise’ assault scandal

On Sunday, producers announced filming for Bachelor In Paradise was indefinitely suspended due to a complaint alleging sexual misconduct on-set. Since the news broke, it’s has been widely rumored the incident involved drunken, non-consensual sexual activity between contestants Corinne Olympios and DeMario Jackson.

Both Corinne and DeMario have been relatively silent since the announcement, but today Corinne broke that silence in a statement from her publicist Stan Rosenfield:

“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.”
