While the media has focused on "Bachelor in Paradise" contestants DeMario Jackson and Corinne Olympios, who are the center of the sex scandal that has shut down the show for now, a reality TV producer says the "smoking gun" behind its suspension really involves ABC and producer Warner Horizon's role in the alleged incident.

The 'smoking gun' that led ABC to suspend 'Bachelor in Paradise' after an alleged sex scandal
One reality television veteran says the real reason "Bachelor in Paradise" was suspended amid a sex scandal lies with producers.
"Bachelor in Paradise" host Chris Harrison at the wedding of season-one contestants Marcus Grodd and Lacy Faddoul in July 2016.
Variety spoke with the producer, who hasn't worked on the "Bachelor" franchise, but has produced similar shows.
The producer said that while one or more contestants could be at fault here in the case of an drunken fling gone too far, which is what has been alleged by sources close to the set, the real reason ABC and Warner would shut down production lies with the failure of their own producers and crew.
The reality TV producer, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, laid out why this alleged sexual misconduct is especially unusual and has big consequences for ABC and its producers.
