The Bachelor Going to Pay Through the Nose For Filming Sexual Assault

The unfolding of the events in the low rent Mexican resort hosting the production of Bachelor in Paradise is like the Manchester bombing information coming out, only much slower, and not even close to as important. Sketchy details are emerging on multiple sides of the pool drunk rape equation. Bachelor DeMario Jackson is sticking to his story that the tape will show that Corinne Olympios was digging their jacuzzi oral sex. Jackson may be right. He may also be using the worst defense ever for a frat boy sitting before a University panel discussing date rape.

While everybody up and down the Warner Bros produced TV show chain is denying anything criminal, at least one anon crew member is jumping bandwagons:

“There was hugging and kissing and touching, but before long, she seemed to go limp. DeMario kept trying to hold her up and . . . he appeared to be having intercourse with her. After he finished — which only lasted a few seconds — he lifted her out of the water and laid her on the cement, where he proceeded to have oral sex with her She appeared to be unconscious. At that point, some of the crew came out and carried her off to her room. She was limp and seemed unable to walk on her own.”

In addition to diminishing Jackson’s mad love you all night long girl skills, this quote spoken under oath just about sinks you. Though who doesn’t want to see the videotape for a second opinion? Maybe with a beer and some soft music.

The bigger question seems to be, how the fuck did we get here? In relation to Islamist terrorism, many smart people note that you diminish your ability to combat it when you can’t even plainly name it. The same goes for network TV shows where you’re filming drunk ambitious actors and celebrity wannabes having sex in hot tubs. There are more protections for the girls on porn sets than on ABC’s Bachelor in Paradise. Because porn is called porn and it sounds serious and laws are made to keep it from getting too disgusting.

Porn productions are on eternal double secret probation. While networks shoot essentially the same empty exploitative sexualized content, only labeling it docudrama or reality romance thereby nobody steps up to stop a semi-conscious chick from being fucked on camera. Vivid would have never allowed that on their seedy adult productions. Same product, two different sets of rules.

The most amazing aspect of the story is how among Disney/ABC’s endless supply of supervisors, lawyers, business affairs, and standards and practices middle managers, nobody saw this coming. Or they did and we’re told to let it ride. Like the parents who buy the keg for the teen party at their house under the pretense it’s safer to know where the kids are all drinking on a Saturday night. Now a wasted sixteen year old is being fucked by two dudes in your master bedroom. Good luck with the lawsuit. This shit never happened on Who’s The Boss?

UPDATE: Corinne Olympios hires Marty Singer. Mentioned today here on WWTDD. Angry demand letter to everybody with deep pockets forthcoming.
