Fired 'Bachelor' Contestant: 'I Wasn't Allowed to Discuss My Son'

By PopEater Staff Posted Jan 11th 2010 06:40PM

Rozlyn Papa, the 'Bachelor' contestant dismissed from the current season of the show, insists the alleged affair that caused her termination was cooked up by execs. In various interviews, the 28-year-old model says that a non-sexual relationship with a producer was misrepresented by 'The Bachelor' as a publicity stunt. Now, Papa says, she's concerned about her 7-year-old son - a son she claims she was forbidden to discuss during filming of the show.

During an interview with 'Entertainment Tonight,' Papa says she didn't have sex with the 'Bachelor' producer. "Absolutely not, no ... I would absolutely call him a friend. A good friend. What he did I think is really noble and I'm really happy to have him as a friend."

"This seeps into my personal life," she adds. "I have a 7-year-old little boy at home that I want to look up to me and to have this blatant lie out there perpetuated by the show itself, it's hurtful. It's scary to think what my son will think of me."

Being fired was not Papa's only mistreatment by the network, she says. "ABC told me I could bring my son to the show to visit and that I could talk about him each day on the show," she tells RadarOnline.com in an exclusive interview. "But then they didn't let me."

"The other girls on the show all knew about my son and ABC kept telling me to hold off and not tell Jake about him yet. At that point all the other girls knew I had a son and they were spending time alone with [the bachelor] Jake and it looked like I was hiding the information."

The episode portraying Papa's "inappropriate relationship" airs tonight on ABC, and the one-time contestant is concerned that edits of her footage will show her in a bad light. "I'm afraid it'll be shown and I'll be portrayed as a cheater," she says in her ET interview.

"It really comes down to my son," she continues. "Why would you go on national television and throw a mom under the bus like that?"

Vanessa Hudgens doesn't have one nude photo scandal... she has two. After an initial nude leak in 2007, another August 2009 batch of R-rated photos found their way online.

Rihanna has never responded to a batch of nude photos purportedly of her. In the photos, someone that looks incredibly like the R&B starlet is seen nude snapping photos of herself.

Janet Jackson had the mother of all nude scandals in front of the world's biggest audience. Her Super Bowl 'Nipplegate' scandal made its way all the way to the FCC.

While Miley Cyrus has never been nude on camera, she's surely had her photo scandals, ranging from everything from a Vanity Fair spread to other private photos.

Audrina Patridge had topless modeling shots from early in her career leaked online. Months later, she appeared in Playboy.

'Gossip Girl' star Leighton Meester has a puzzling case of a leak. She claims a sex tape purportedly of her isn't real, but says that the photos of her -- which seem to be taken from the video -- were taken before she was 18.

When you go on one of these reality shows,you have to be prepared for them to manipulate any situation to put you in a bad light. They do it for ratings and to generate controversy. reality shows are anything but realistic.

So true. It's not about you or romance at all. It's about ratings and sensationalism. Why would 25 women put themselves through this anyway? Attention and a shot at stardom - that's why.

By Carolyn

If she's so worried about what her son thinks, why is she going on a reality show to find him a daddy? That's far more embarassing than anything the network can cook up.

Thank you.

She never said she was looking for a daddy, they are all looking for love, just like a lot of single moms do. I've been one for 14 years.

By Elizabeth

Give it a break! They do this stuff for ratings.

I have never missed the bachelor, and Roz was just empty and vapid -- nothing more than a made up face and a mouth that works.

wow, big surprise - the sleeze has a kid -- who would have thought it! haha

So Jake is allowed to date 25 women to find his match. But the women are not allowed to look around while they are waiting for him to take them out? Seems they should be able to date to find their match.

By cherrysh300

They came for Jake. If they wanted to date someone else, they should have stayed home.

By janey

Honey, if you were really concerned about how your son is going to view you as he grows up, you WOULD NOT have gone on this stupid program in the first place. Sounds more like a publicity stunt on your part!

By Regina

I believe we all know that if she had not had an inappropriate relationship with someone she could sue the pants off of the show. Anyone who knows anything about how guilty people act when they are caught and saw the way she acted when she was caught, knows that she is just trying to save face right now. I believe that the show handled her in a pretty classy way because they could have went into more detail and really embarrassed her. At least that's my guess.

By jabby

There is a tremendous amount of unchecked mental health issues. "Whorelyn" obviously has some. To think that this is a joke to ABC. To think that she was above that?!! A kid? LOL like to meet the "jersy Shore" joke that impregnated that worthless slob..I hope it was "the Situation" atleast he's funny

It's amazing that all these anti-gay marriage people are always yaking about the "sanctity of marriage." This show makes a mockery of marriage. I'm not allowed to marry my partner of 19 years, but I see a bunch of horny breeders make a mockery of marriage? All I can say is, God bless Canada!!!

I have to say I agree with you, Bill. I have been married to my husband for 13 years now and marriage is not easy, no matter whom it's between. It is not my business to decide who deserves to be married over who does not. It is not my place to judge others. I believe in equality for all and it is in my humble opinion that homosexuals are the most predjudiced against group of people in the world. It's hard enough to find love and to sustain it. Whether that love be between a man and a woman, a man and man, or a woman and a woman, if you find it, keep it, work hard at it, and cherish it. Good luck to you and your partner!

By Wendell Welling

I hope she sues the network, the show, and all those who allowed this to be portrayed as a sexual "affair". If she is telling the truth, the relationship was purposely mischarachterized for ratings.

By Will Smith

She knows she is guilty as a mofo. I saw the episode. She stood there and noded her head and didn't deny anything. I feel for all those chicks who are so desperate for a man that they have to go on a "game" show to try and beat out 24 other chicks to win one. That's so SAD!!!

All you saw was what ABC wanted you to see. If she did say anything it would have been edited out. I read about this last week on realitysteve, and it went exactly the way he said it was going to. I hope she sues ABC for defamation of character! And why were all these women crying, if they want Jake, you would think they would be ecstatic that the hottest woman in the house was gone!
