After production was shut down over the weekend, more details have emerged on what went down on the set of the Bachelor In Paradise.

Now TMZ reports the incident in question involves a steamy pool hook-up between the two cast members.

According to the outlet, Corinne is "blaming producers" for not stepping in "protecting her", claiming she was drunk and didn't give any consent to the raunchy rendezvous.

A source tells TMZ that after a day of drinking during filming Corinne, who appeared in the most recent US series of The Bachelor, ended up in the pool naked with Bachelorette reject DeMario.

While Corinne alleges she remembers nothing of the hook-up, DeMario claims he remembers everything including "rubbing, touching and fingering". He also claims Corinne put her "genitals" in his face and he started "licking".

The situation continues to get messier, with the production insider adding that after the swimming pool hook up other cast members reportedly told Corinne what happened between her and DeMario. They claimed they "voiced concern" to the production crew that she was in no state to give consent to sexual activity, but their concerns went ignored.

However another source adds no such concerns were ever raised.

Over the weekend Warner Bros. released a statement on the incident saying: "We have become aware of allegations of misconduct on the set of Bachelor in Paradise in Mexico.
