'Bachelor in Paradise' Production Halted Over Allegations of Misconduct (Update)

"Bachelor in Paradise" was shut down after a producer was disturbed by footage of contestants DeMario Jackson and Corinne Olympios engaging in sexual activity in the pool, according to TMZ, which cited Jackson's version of events.

According to sources connected to him, producers wanted them to hook up for a storyline, but things got a little too steamy after the pair got intoxicated at a bar in Mexico, where the series is being filmed, then retreated back to the pool, where they took off their clothes then started making out as well as "rubbing, touching and fingering."
