Fans and contestants were shocked when production was halted on the set of “Bachelor in Paradise” season four over allegations of sexual misconduct involving Corinne Olympios and DeMario Jackson. Cast and crew were sent home from Mexico while an investigation was held.

Though they were originally told the show was likely canceled, after a brief shutdown, Warner Bros. said they had found no evidence of misconduct and filming resumed shortly after.

Most of the inner workings of the shutdown were not shown on camera, but it was covered briefly once filming resumed, with host Chris Harrison asking the cast for their thoughts.

Though we didn’t see much on-air, both Olympios and Jackson have been vocal about their frustrations surrounding the allegations and Jackson said that the accusations even cost him his job.

Former “Bachelorette” star Andi Dorfman said in her book that ex-fiancé Josh Murray “behaved like an emotional abuser.”

Dorfman was the lead of the 10th season of “The Bachelorette” and ended the season engaged to Josh Murray. The engagement lasted nine months and she addressed the relationship in her book “It’s Not Okay” and detailed alleged emotional abuse.

“If I talked to another man, I was a whore. If I disagreed, I was argumentative. If I defied him, I was a ‘b—-,'” Dorfman wrote in her book, according to HuffPost.

Dorman claimed that Murray exhibited jealous behaviors and described Murray’s behavior as that of an “emotional abuser.”

“I had become a 27-year-old woman who walked on eggshells in her own home,” Dorfman wrote. “What they didn’t know is I was trapped with someone who, in my opinion, often behaved like an emotional abuser.”

Murray spoke out about the allegations in Dorfman’s book. During the taping of “Bachelor in Paradise” season three, Viall often brought up Dorfman’s book and Murray adamantly denied the allegations.

Later though, in an interview with him and then-fiancée Amanda Stanton, he told Us Weekly “Yes, there’s a trueness in there, but it’s twisted in such a way that makes it the worst lie possible because it’s believable. I’m not perfect by any means, but I think I’m pretty decent!”
