This season of "Bachelor In Paradise" is filled with love, roses, and of course, drama.
One contestant, Salley Carson, a 26-year-old spine surgery robot operator from Virginia, recently made her debut on the reality television show. But before hitting the beach, "Bachelor in Paradise" bartender Wells Adams told several stars of the show a very dramatic and exaggerated story about Salley's journey to Mexico.
Now, Salley is admitting that she would sue the ABC producers if she could.
Salley Carson Wants To Sue ABC
"Bachelor in Paradise" bartender Wells Adams told many of the beachgoers that Salley allegedly missed her flight to paradise as she was totally hung up on her ex-fiance. She, reportedly, made a producer wait for her inside the trunk of a car for four hours.
After Wells told the story to the girls, fans of the show took to Carson's Instagram, leaving comments such as, "Wait you left someone in a truck for 4hrs !!!! Wtf... they could have died... are you OK?"
And Salley replied to the comment, "That definitely did not happen. Try to remember it's a TV show."
Another Instagram user commented on one of her posts, "Sue abc," to which Salley responded, "Would if I could."
At this time, there is no word on if Salley is actually suing ABC, but it is not surprising that she wants to after what the show said about her.
Salley's Short Appearance On "Bachelor In Paradise"
After allegedly missing three flights, Salley Carson finally made it to paradise on the Tuesday, October 11, episode. However, she did not stay long.
“I can’t believe I’m here! … Honestly, it feels good,” the 27-year-old told Jesse Palmer upon arriving at the beach. “I had to take care of some things at work — [but] my bag made it the first day of Paradise. … I literally made the decision at the gate. I checked my bags, I got to the gate, and I was like, ‘You know what? I can’t do it.’”
Salley went and chatted with two other contestants, Genevieve Parisi and Shanae Ankney, explaining that she was late to the beach because of work. That is when the two asked her if she had “any interest” in any of the men currently on the show.
“I don’t know. … I’m at the point [where] I’m not going to date or want to, like, pursue something with someone unless I see, like, the end with them,” Salley said. “I want kids — five kids. I need to get on it fast. I don’t want to waste my time.”
That is when Genevieve started getting on Salley's case, drilling her about her ex-fiance.
“Honestly, we have a few questions,” Genevieve said. “Were you, like, with your ex a few days before you came here? Did you see him?”
To which Salley responded, “I’m pissed off. … It was work-[related] why I had to stay Wednesday and why I missed my first fight. And if anyone here can’t understand that I have respect for the guy that I was with before this, then I’m out."
She continued, “It is what it is, you know? And that’s exactly why you don’t trust anyone on this f—king beach. My gut feeling was not to come.”
Genevieve continued to interrogate Salley, who eventually added:
“I get it. But there are a lot of people here that are also here for the wrong reasons, they just don’t say it. … I’ve been told a lot of things about other people that I would never breathe a word on this beach because I am true to myself. And I’m never going to throw someone else [under the bus]. Even if they have dirt — I don’t care about your dirt. I’m here for me.”
Salley Carson then quit the show.
