If she and her F1 have something real, this could direct media attention away from them which should help them settle into a more normal life together. If they don't then she might eventually be glad that a messy breakup got over-shadowed.

Considering everything he's done between filming shows, I strongly disagree. He got pretty rough with Lace too in the pool but luckily she wasn't too drunk to walk away. JMO.

I think Chad was exploited by the producers, during JoJo's season and even more so on BIP. I think they taunted him through the contestants on JoJo's season and took advantage of him on BIP by plying him with alcohol too, telling him that he could be the bachelor etc. It was really sad to me. He made for great ratings and money for them. He had to pay with his pride, reputation and emotional health- it has been said multiple times on here that no one can survive the evil that is production and to me he is the ultimate example of that. Chris B. luckily came to on his own.

Skimming through posts so might not have all the info ...
But Im wondering if the cancellation of BIP has something to do with the staff member not returning to work ... maybe they were so disgusted with the goings of Corinne and the guy( dont know his name as not watching Rachels season) and didnt want to keep filmimg and was told to keep the cameras rolling ... maybe they are suing for being forced to basically film porn when thats not what they had agreed to when accepting the job. Maybe lawyers are looking into morality issues and employee rights ... things like that??

Sorry if im off base but just adding my 2 cents even though i havent read alll the posts of last few days

Maybe it was meant to happen to overshadow her journey. Just saying. I was wondering this specifically and actually didn't want to say it. This is what the man behind the curtain does. History with the franchise shows something happens when something else is about to go down. Pun intended.

So you're thinkin' a fire may be burning elsewhere and this BIP fire is being deliberately fanned to divert attention or to make the other appear less significant when known?
That would be Machiavellian.

I've considered this, but how bad what that thing have to be if sexual assault rumors are preferable?

Oh boy....

The shut down of BIP is gonna be discussed by an attorney on the Fox News show, "The Story" in just a minute or 2.  Considering this show is pretty much all political news, this is big.

OK, just watched it.

They showed both Corinne and DeMario's pictures as well as scenes from last year's season (the Josh/Amanda, Grant/Lace, Vinny/Izzy make out sessions on the couch and some of the dancing scenes on that boat date that Caila was very uncomfortable with). It was mentioned several times about Corinne having a boyfriend so why was she there to "find love". The lawyer did mention that this could be good (a spike in viewership for the other shows as well as just what the producers want out of the show) or bad for the producers. Interestingly, he said back in 2012, a lawsuit was brought against Real World and the producers of that show made a settlement with the girl bringing suit and in his opinion, that could very well be what happens here. It was about a 4 to 5 minute story as well.

Chad J. was on E News and it seem like he was saying the contract specifically says that producers will not interfere with what is happening. They just sit back and let it be filmed. At least that is how I interpret what he was saying.

@Rosepetal that is interesting. Wow, wow, just wow.

When we talk about sleuthing on the forum, this is the kind I like to do. So yes... This is exactly something that attracts my attention.
Unfortunately, I do believe the yesterday's reported BIP behavior is nothing new. It's just the behavior that got reported. So why now? Why?
JMO Maybe it is all smoke.

Yep, It seems like it is all in the contract, at least that is what I got from Chad.
