Bachelor host Chris Harrison is firing back at ousted contestant Rozlyn Papa after she implied on Monday's Women Tell All special that he is a cheater.

On the special, Harrison, 38, grilled Papa, a 29-year-old model/make-up artist who was kicked off the ABC reality show after several cast members claimed she had an "inappropriate" relationship with producer Ryan Callahan.

Three different women claimed they each had proof: One said she saw Papa and Callahan making out; another said she saw her touch his thigh one time and a third said she heard Papa remark that she wanted Callahan to tuck her in bed.

Despite the three eye witness accounts, Papa swore on her child's life that nothing sexual happened between her and the producer. Harrison told her how many were sad that Callahan was fired because people on the show considered him a friend. Papa then snapped, "That's news to him, especially when you were hitting on his wife in New Zealand. He thought that was crazy."

"I won't dignify that with a response," Harrison cooly replied before telling Papa, "I hope you will become a better person through this."

Harrison tells Entertainment Weekly that the reason he didn't immediately respond to Papa's accusation was because "that's exactly what she would have wanted from me. It was a desperate attempt by a very desperate woman to create a diversion and deflect the spotlight from herself...."

Harrison - a married father of two - added that it was tacky of Papa (a single mother) to bring his innocent family into the matter.

"...Beyond the fact that it's just flat out not true, that comment was well beyond the line of decency and speaks volumes to the kind of person Rozlyn is," he said. "My wife, who I've been with since I was 18 and have been married to for over 16 years, was in the audience that night and got as big a laugh out of Rozlyn's comment as I did."

    Sorry - that last comment I made was too harsh - with the meth and stuff. That's mean. I retract. She'll do fine, esp. if she gets to a place where she is comfortable financially. She's a mother, and very likely lives for something bigger than herself because of it. I wish her well but would advise her to get smart quick about how she presents herself in the media. And to quit lying when it's so clear you're lying - or will be made to look so. Either be silent or admit things like all other celebs who wnat to get past things.

    Roslyn in the Devil. Clarly lying, and in heat of moment swore on her kid's life. Even if she is 0% superstitious, that should be a lifelong regret to utter such a thing. And plain dumb to do so in public eye. She's either not savvy enough to lie well, has a terrible PR person (or none), or just doesn't listen to them. Or she doesn;t care, because scandal and airtime should be enough to get the media buzz she's looking for. Look, she's hot, so she will benefit in some circles regardless of her character. The sex tape is a good move for her, that should be her angle, she can win with that stuff. I predice a couple of B or C Movie cameos as a sex object, then holding up a liquor store in Hollywood for meth later when her looks fail her.

    Well he didn't deny it....

    What is all the trash talk about Chris H. How do you know he was hitting on the producer wife. Anyone who defend Rozlyn is crazy, she was trying to get the attention off her. Are you just blind to seeing that fact. Rozlyn is the real sleaze in this case.

  • February 24, 2010 - 9:13pm Chris trashes Rozlyn then can't stand the heat

    Rozyln tossed it back at Chris and he was caught with his hand in the cookie jar, there is no doubt Chris hit on the producer's wife.

    i think rozylyn knew exactly what she was doing this is all getting her alot of attention good and bad as far as what she says and does now is up to her but to go on national tv and swear on ur childs life is pathetic it just shows what type of a womand she is i also think its funny that when she was first exposed with chris harrison she did nothing to defend herself she just left and then a few months later tries to defend herself i dont buy into it and to attack other people well that makes u look even more quilty everyone thinks vienna is the villion here HELLO?

    EXCUSE ME! Ryan Seacrest held up a tape from when he talked to the ousted producer & the man said he has slept with Rozlyn...would the other half lie??? According to Rozlyn she's the only ONE whose telling the truth! She's a slease!!!!!!!

  • February 24, 2010 - 5:09pm marcia crittenton

    I think Chris handled the comment rozlyn made about him with a cool calm attitude. He did exactly the right thing. You could just look at Rozlyn and tell she wasn;t telling the truth about anything. Her poor child!

  • February 24, 2010 - 4:50pm JJ

    I can tell you that the woman tell all is just as rehearsed and prompted by producers as the show is. It was only three girls saying anything and they are now just remembering what happened during the filming of the show 4 months ago? Riiight! Just like Mary Lewis, all specualtion and judgement. Who gave anyone here the right? Rozlyn was bombarded and clearly in disbelief when those three girls made their comments. As she said, she never said anything bad about them (even though we are all human and make mistakes as they probably did). And since evryone is making accusations and specualtions, who's to say that Chris did not flirt with Ryan's wife?

  • February 24, 2010 - 4:08pm Mary Lewis

    Roz, you opened your mouth and your brain went dead again. Your comment regarding Chris was another "open your mouth and stick your foot in again approach". She was trying to hurt Chris but I wonder how the producers wife felt when Roz hit on him. I believe she has had a lot of experience hitting on married gentlemen. No Roz, I don't have your back like one post said we all had your back....You are too fake.

  • February 24, 2010 - 2:02pm Jo

    Chris Harrison is a total tool. He would be the type to hit on someone's wife. Too bad that others can't see him for what he is....

  • February 24, 2010 - 1:36pm Jason

    I think it's funny that Chris Harrison got a little bit of his own Medicine. he sat there loving every minute of the trashing Rozlyn took from the other women in the house. Then he gets a little mud slung at him and he has the balls to be angry??? Harrison is a massive Tool. I watch the show for a laugh. These Women are nothing more then a Piece of azz for each years bachelor. To act like there is some kind of moral high ground Rozlyn crossed is LAUGHABLE!!!!

  • February 24, 2010 - 1:28pm Heather

    This is to all of you on here who actually believe (and talk like you have proof) that she slept with the producer. Since you sound so sure of yourself, I am asking for proof. Exactly, NO-ONE knows for sure what happened excpet Rozlyn and the producer. I thank you all for the many laughs I get from reading your posts. I mean, dang ya'll really act like you were there. too funny

  • February 24, 2010 - 12:17pm hey

    This chick is a mean, ugly and nutty.girl. That is why she needs to go a stupid show to find a date.

  • February 24, 2010 - 11:40am amy

    sooooo the producer is married? She just made yourself look worse, Roz. Chris was very classy...I loved his response!

  • February 24, 2010 - 11:32am Leah Peart

  • February 24, 2010 - 8:28am Chris is a LYING CHEATING DOG

    it's obvious that the sleazeball Chris tried to hit on the producer's wife, you got some explaining to do Chris, reality check

    Clearly, Rozlyn is a liar and a pathetic person. It's crystal clear that she was briefed on what to say. Rather than giving straight answers to questions, she chose to respond with more questions and accusations about others. She looked like a very bad actress trying to remember her lines.This woman is a total loser-even with her fake hair, boobs and eyelashes!

  • February 24, 2010 - 12:22am So What

    She just blew her chances of being The Next Bachlorette. ROFLMAO!!
