Production
As with the previous season, filming took place in the town of Sayulita, located in Vallarta-Nayarit, Mexico.
Misconduct allegations
On June 11, 2017, production was suspended indefinitely due to alleged misconduct.[3] It was reported that production allegedly filmed cast member DeMario Jackson in a sexual encounter with Corinne Olympios, who may have been too drunk to consent.[4][5] Warner Bros. released a statement saying:
We have become aware of allegations of misconduct on the set of Bachelor in Paradise in Mexico. We have suspended production and we are conducting a thorough investigation of these allegations. Once the investigation is complete, we will take appropriate responsive action.[6]
On June 20, 2017, it was announced that Warner Bros. has cleared the show and its producers of any misconduct as they found no evidence of misconduct. It was also confirmed that filming will resume.[7] Warner Bros. released a statement saying:
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.[8]
While neither Corinne Olympios nor DeMario Jackson returned to filming post-scandal, they still appeared in this season from footage shot before the scandal halted production, and appeared separately and together in live studio interviews with host Chris Harrison.[9] Olympios told Harrison that she drank while taking a medication that is not supposed to be mixed with alcohol, causing her to become "imbalanced" and "mentally checked out," but with "no way" for anyone around her to know that was the case.[10]
Casting
During After the Final Rose, Nick Viall's runner-up, Raven Gates, accepted an offer to join this season.[11] Some of the cast was announced on June 6, 2017.[12] After Dean Unglert was eliminated during hometown week, it was announced that he would be joining the season 4 cast in Paradise.[13]
Wells Adams of season twelve of The Bachelorette became the show's new bartender replacing Jorge Moreno.[14]
