Bachelor In Paradise shut down due to drama

Ewww!  I agree.

I mean, they may as well have called the show "Fuck Island." Why is anyone surprised about this?

Alcohol plus a wide variety of mental health issues plus egos plus not-that-smart people plus people too attractive for their own good equals someone getting sued eventually.

Easy math.

If they were both willing, where's the wrongdoing? Nasty in the pool...yes. But misconduct?

Embarrassed to say I'm a bit bummed it's been cancelled. This trashy show is one of my little guilty pleasures.

If they were totally wasted, they were not able to consent.

It's like UnReal in real life.

That was my first thought too.  That show was crazy!

If they were too drunk to consent to being filmed, couldn't they have just stopped filming? I don't watch the show so I don't know what has happened in the past but as other posters have mentioned, this can't be the first time this has happened.

It sounds like they should have and possibly someone tried but was over ruled. There are a few versions of what happened, but it sounds like someone should have stepped in if it was obvious they both, or one of them, was too drunk to give consent. A producer filed a complaint with Warner Brothers after seeing the footage the next day which led to the shut down.

IMHO, the production was cleared out of Mexico quickly to protect anyone from an investigation and/or charges there.

I put a hypo like this on an exam a few years ago (although it involved other misconduct, not sexual assault).  While you don't normally have a duty to intervene in criminal activity, if you have taken on particular contractual obligations with respect to the people, or have put them in a position where they are essentially isolated from other help, or are in various ways assisting in or facilitating the criminal activity, you can be held both civilly and criminally liable.  I don't know enough about this particular scenario, but the shutdown may be to investigate their own legal liability (or, more cynically, to batten down the hatches).  Gross.

Oh come on. It's BIP. Of course they're going to get drunk and get into a sexual situation. That's what BIP is all about. The producers keep the drinks flowing on purpose. Doesn't this happen all the time on that show? What changed? Corinne is all about using her private parts to get a man. She has stated and shown that numerous times. I hope they resume filming. If you're going to get half naked people drunk and push sexual situations you're probably not going to see them taking an oath of celibacy!

I always cringe, because I think about their parents watching them. EW!

One had best hope that they use some powerful chlorine in those waters!
