So exactly what sort of "misconduct" would be grave enough to suspend an entire reality show, midway through filming?
LA Times journalist Amy Kaufman, who is currently writing a book about The Bachelor, quoted an unnamed source from the production in a series of tweets regarding the scandal.
According to the source, the trouble came when a producer witnessed racy conduct between contestants DeMario Jackson and Corinne Olympios.
"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," writes Kaufman.
"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," she continues.
"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. My source was told a producer filed a third party complaint."'
