'Bachelor in Paradise' Resumes Production
by EG
Almost 10 days since announcing Bachelor in Paradise production had officially halted due to an investigation into allegations of misconduct, Warner Bros. has addressed the controversy.
On Tuesday, the company released their first statement regarding the investigation to PEOPLE, announcing that it was complete and concluding that there was no evidence of misconduct.
“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.”
