Bachelor Jake Pavelka has confirmed Internet reports that Rozlyn Papa is the contestant who had an inappropriate relationship with a male producer on the hit ABC show.

"I didn't believe it at first," he tells Entertainment Tonight. "I've never been cheated on. I thought it was something that was being produced and thrown at me. As it was unraveling, I realized it was serious."

The incident will be discussed on Monday's show. "Everything that's going to air Monday is exactly the way it happened. There is no embellishing and there's no holding back."

 

He says that the staff member is no longer working on the show.

But Papa -- a 28-year-old make-up artist from Richmond, Va. -- is denying a fling. "No, I did not have a sexual relationship with a producer on the show," she tells RadarOnline. "What they mean by inappropriate relationship is not what inappropriate relationship means in the real world." 

She also slammed the show for being "a far cry from reality. I know that things on television weren't always as they seemed, but I had no idea the extent of the show manipulation."

Earlier this week, Bachelor host Chris Harrison called the incident "incredibly unfortunate."

"Horrible decisions were made," he told 104.3 MY FM's Valentine in the Morning in Los Angeles. "It was embarrassing for us and in fairness to Jake and for the other women, [we said], 'Let’s nip this in the bud and take care of it.' And that's what we did."

    Rozlyn deffinatley did not deserve that on public television, I really hope that they are happy! They totally embarrased her in front of millions of people and I'm sure it has affected her life at home. I know what she did was totally WRONG! Downright wrong! But then again, Theirs boundarys. And one was crossed.

    This show is great & I hope the best for Jake! I think Alli is cute & sweet. Vienna is either hiding something or is just really stuck up.

    Yes guys, Rozlyn "cheated" on Jake. Let's move on, They weren't meant to be anyway. She's a trampy vagina, But everyone makes mistakes. I don't think Jake got too shook up about it anyway. So let's forget it, It's long over. Jake & Tenley all the way!

    I like the show, but also know each season that they keep at least one girl as the drama queen. This season it is Michelle. Ed and Jillian even told him they thought she wasn't for him, and it's obvious she is not, but he has kept her so far. She's a bit psycho, and definitely not his type, so that's this season's take on it so far. As for Rosyln, who cares. It's good drama and brings in the ratings, and if she did go off with the Producer, then I guess she really isn't there for Jake is she?! Good they let her go.

    if rozlyn is flirting with the crew men, then she should be on "the bachelorette", not "the bachelor". it's jake who is trying to find a wife...not rozlyn finding a husband. isn't she there to win jake's heart? why is she stealing jake's role? unless she wants to be famous! you can't blame her..she has a son to feed. besides, why find another hubby when your marriage has failed? how can you love another man when you can't even give up your own happiness for the sake of your son? how selfish is that...going through a divorce (assuming she was married) and messing up your son's life? no wonder children nowadays have behavioral issues. tsk...tsk... nasty classless women... what a disgrace to the society!

    all i can say is wow...the bachelor is a hypocrite...so he can make-out with the other women on the show but she has to keep herself sexually bound for him.

    First of all, this is all television B.S. There is now way on Godâ??s Green Earth that women are going to fall for some guy in two weeks when they only get 15 to 20 minutes with him. Itâ??s more likely that the producers of the show are putting something in the water or in the food that makes women turn into weeping psychotic harpies when the camera is on them. Hereâ??s an idea for a better show, Celebrity Bachelor Death Match. Give the chicks knives and deprive them from any contact with the outside world that especially means not letting them see or talk to their children. Provide them with access tons of alcohol and little food and then watch as they start to thin out the herd. Talk about killer concepts. You could own prime time. Thereâ??s something for women. Thereâ??s something for men. Maybe even have Sarah Palin on to show the crazy chicks how to field dress a woman once they off her. Iâ??m love in it!

    You have gotta love the fact that the girls get 15 to 30 minutes with the guy and they're already talking about having feelings for him. Come on. Someone please check what the show's producers are putting in the water these chicks are drinking. My hat's off to the editors. They've taken crap and turned into Internet shine-o-la. What we want to see is more crazy chicks with knives in their hands, pushed to the brink where they start taking out some of the competition. Now that would be hot! Celebrity Bachelor Death Match —on every bloody Monday! Yeah baby! Pass the popcorn.

    are we really supposed to beleive this wasn't staged. come on, the over reaction by Jake and the other girls just screamed 'set up' guess they will try anything new for the ratings.

    jake the bachelor i know you're bi !!!

  • January 12, 2010 - 1:14am j.robert

    cheap desperate girls looking to compete for a prize .. that is all it is.

  • January 12, 2010 - 1:12am j.robert

    I say if Jake gets to play with all those girls then the girls should be able to play with one another or with anyone they choose. Fair game for all ... good hunting

  • January 12, 2010 - 1:09am james nagy

    The idea that a group of girls make themselves beleive that they are in love is fake. They are all simply competing to win a prize. that is not love. In fact, the bachelor gets to flirt with all the girls and have whatever inappropriate activity with them, and the girls are left there to cry and be disposed of one after the other. This is good entertainment at the absolute expense of desperate young beautiful girls. Makes for good ratings though. True love, I doubt it.

    If indeed this was not a sexual affair, how can the producer not sue the network and studio for firing him?

  • January 11, 2010 - 3:17pm Michelle

    The show is a fake. Check out realitysteve dot com Vienna wins.
