'I'm a victim,' says Bachelor in Paradise's Corinne
Corinne Olympios wants 'justice' after Bachelor in Paradise producers failed to stop her drunken hook-up with DeMario Jackson.
Production on the hit Bachelor/Bachelorette spin-off was suspended on Sunday, after a producer filed a formal complaint with Warner Bros. over the controversial scene.
DeMario claims that he performed oral sex on Corinne when she put her genitals in his face, but she says she was blackout drunk and has no recollection of the event - meaning she couldn't have given consent.
In a statement to TMZ on Wednesday, Corinne called herself 'a victim' and said she has hired a legal team to get her justice.

'I am a victim and have spent the last week trying to make sense of what happened on June 4.
'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.
'As I pursue the details and facts surrounding that night and the immediate days after, I have retained a group of professionals to ensure that what happened on June 4 comes to light and I can continue my life, including hiring an attorney to obtain justice and seeking therapy to begin dealing with the physical and emotional trauma stemming from that evening,' Corinne said.
