Rozlyn Papa is telling all about the rumored fling that got her kicked off “The Bachelor.”
The 28-year-old model and single mom was accused of having an “inappropriate relationship” with one of the show’s producers, Ryan Callahan (who was married at the time and since has been fired from the show), and told to pack her bags during the dating show’s second episode of the season.
Since then, she’s owned up to having had a personal relationship with Callahan, but maintains that it wasn’t sexual, and has blasted the show for dragging her name through the mud.
Bad blood isn’t stopping Papa from returning to “The Bachelor,” though.
She’ll be featured Monday night on the reunion “Women Tell All” episode, series host Chris Harrison said yesterday in a blog he writes for Entertainment Weekly’s Web site.
Harrison said that the interview with Papa, taped over Valentine’s Day weekend in Los Angeles, goes “step by step” through the events that earned her an early exit from the series.
The other “Bachelor” babes who turned in Rozlyn to the show’s executives after witnessing what they thought was out-of-bounds behavior between the contestant and the show staffer are also set to tell what they saw the couple doing.
Although Harrison claims to be “extremely happy” that she turned up for the reunion show, Papa told RadarOnline.com that he wasn’t so thrilled while it was being filmed.
“I wasn’t nice to Chris Harrison,” Papa said. “He did not do well with actual confrontation.”
She claims that when Harrison started talking about how hard it was to see a long-time friend and “Bachelor” crew member get fired, she turned the tables on him and let it rip.
“I said, ‘It’s funny you should say that because I talk to this producer and the fact that you guys are friends is news to him. He didn’t get a really friendly vibe when you were hitting on his wife last year in New Zealand!’ ” she told him.
Being on the receiving end of accusations didn’t sit well with Harrison.
“He tried to play it off at first, but you could tell he was pissed,” she said. “As soon as Chris Harrison started getting angry they whisked me off the stage.”
As a result, Papa doesn’t know how much of the interview will actually be shown.
ABC couldn’t say yesterday how much of the episode is devoted to the confrontation between the host and the disgraced bachelorette because it was still being edited.
