The show's suspension is a huge disappointment to fans of the show, and the story behind the abrupt halt in production is still unfolding.
A producer allegedly filed a "third-party complaint" after an incident involving Corinne Olympios and DeMario Jackson.
According to The Los Angeles Times' Amy Kaufman, a source said that a producer has sued the production over alleged misconduct tied to an incident she witnessed between DeMario and Corrine on the first night of shooting. The two contestants were allegedly very drunk and hooked up on camera. The next day, the producer didn't show up to work.
The fourth season of 'Bachelor In Paradise' began filming in early June 2017, but production has been immediately halted following allegations of "misconduct" involving contestants Corinne Olympios and DeMario Jackson.
Fans were excited that Olympios, a perceived villain on Nick Viall's season of "The Bachelor" earlier this year, would be in paradise. The fourth season of the show was set to premiere in August.
Lace Morris and Grant Kemp, who got matching tattoos on camera before getting engaged in the season three finale, recently broke up their engagement as well.
Carly and Evan are the only couple from season three still standing. Amanda Staton and Josh Murray ended their engagement earlier this year after a rocky relationship. Other contestants in paradise including bachelor Nick Viall tried to convince Amanda that Josh was trouble throughout the entire season.
The third season, which aired summer 2016, ended in three engagements. Only one of those couples remains engaged.
The second season ended with a match made in paradise: Jade and Tanner. Their wedding was broadcast on ABC, with a lot of former contestants in attendance. They remain married to this day.
Jorge, another fan favorite, isn't even a contestant: just the show's resident bartender. He is usually used for comedic moments, but also listens to contestants talk about their romantic woes in paradise.
Ashley I. cries a lot. Like, all the time actually. She's also very outspoken about the fact that she's a virgin.
This is Ashley I., a "Bachelor in Paradise" fan favorite. Since season 2, she's been in requited love with fellow-contestant Jared. He's totally friend-zoned her, but they remain friends.
But ABC insists love really can be found in crazy paradise. The second season opened with a marriage: Two contestants from the first season of "Bachelor in Paradise," Marcus and Lacy, got married on the beach in front of all the season-two contestants.
Even some of the stronger-seeming couples tend to break up.
So if one person who is coupled up isn't very satisfied with his or her current mate and a dream match shows up, the person will often jump ship, and all hell breaks loose.
Often the people who arrive are ones the producers know contestants will be attracted to. Before filming begins, ABC makes all the contestants fill out a dream list of single "Bachelor" and "Bachelorette" rejectees they would like to meet in paradise. One by one, those wish-list people show up.
Every week, contestants who don't find love in Mexico get sent home, and they are replaced with new single men and women. None of the cast members know who is about to show up next.
Immediately, couples begin to form. The guys mostly get snatched up, but a bunch of the women are left loveless.
At the beginning of the season, a dozen single people arrive at a resort in Mexico. There are twice as many single women as there are men.
Chris Harrison, who hosts "The Bachelor" and "The Bachelorette," is also the host of "Bachelor in Paradise."
