Corinne Olympios says she's the victim in the "Bachelor in Paradise" sex scandal that caused "The Bachelor" spinoff to shut down production.
The reality star released a statement Wednesday announcing that she's planning a lawsuit after getting drunk and performing sex acts with fellow contestant DeMario Jackson in Mexico -- all while cameras were rolling. All cast members were sent home after a field producer filed a misconduct complaint, alleging that Corinne may have been too drunk to consent to sex and that the show may not have done enough to prevent sexual assault.
"I am a victim and have spent the last week trying to make sense of what happened on June 4," Corinne said. "Although I have little memory of that night, something bad obviously took place, which I understand is why production on the show has now been suspended and a producer on the show has filed a complaint against the production."
"As a woman, this is my worst nightmare and it has now become my reality."
Variety reports she's hired top Hollywood lawyer Marty Singer, whose past clients included Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bryan Singer, John Travolta and Bill Cosby. In 2011, the high-profile attorney helped Charlie Sheen sue Warner Bros. TV, the production company behind "Bachelor in Paradise," for $100 million over the actor's firing from "Two and a Half Men."
