“Bachelor in Paradise’’ producers insisted Tuesday that a video review shows that a female contestant was not sexually assaulted — and that the ABC reality show will air as planned this summer.
Warner Bros. said it investigated allegations by Corinne Olympios, 24, who claimed she was too drunk to consent to an on-tape sexual romp with fellow contestant DeMario Jackson, 30.
Production of the fourth season of “Paradise” was shut down amid the accusations.
“We recently became aware of allegations regarding an incident on the set of ‘Bachelor in Paradise’ in Mexico,” according to a Warner Bros. statement.
“We take all such allegations seriously.”
Warner Bros. said it conducted an internal probe with an outside law firm and its footage didn’t support Olympios’ claims.
“Out of respect for the privacy interests of those involved, we do not intend to release the videotape of the incident,” according to Warner Bros.
“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.”
While still claiming there was no wrongdoing, “Paradise” producers said they’ll assure more safety.
“We plan to implement certain changes to the show’s policies and procedures to enhance and further ensure the safety,” according to Warner Bros.
ABC confirmed the series will air later this summer. “We appreciate the swift and complete investigation by Warner Bros,” the network said.
Olympios’ attorney, Marty Singer said, “It comes as no surprise that Warner Bros., as a result of its own internal investigation, would state that no wrongdoing had occurred. Our own investigation will continue based on multiple new witnesses coming forward revealing what they saw and heard.”
A rep for Jackson could not immediately be reached for comment Tuesday, but Jackson said in text messages obtained by The Post last week that he believed that the tape would clear him.
