To recap: The latest season ofBachelor in Paradise, a popular spin-off from the reality dating showThe Bachelor, was canceled after it was alleged that a sexual assault was caught on camera.

According toPeople Magazine, two contestants were involved in a sexual encounter in which one of them may have been too drunk to consent.

Maguire, 31, toldNWthat she only found out about the scandal on the morning she was set to fly to the U.S.

"I had my bags all ready to go. Then on Sunday morning, I woke up and literally had five missed calls," she told the magazine, news.com.aureports.

She said that she was then told the show was being put on hold "indefinitely."

Another infamousBachiewas also set to appear on the ill-fated spin-off: Sam Johnston, 27, who was eliminated in episode 7 of the battle for Georgia Love's heart on Australia's second season ofThe Bachelorette.

He told the magazine he was "glad" to no longer be involved after news of the scandal broke.

"I'm very shocked and surprised [the production company] would blatantly ignore their duty of care," he said.

SinceBachelor in Paradiseis made up of former contestants fromBachelorseasons past, it's safe to assume Maguire and Johnston were set to appear as "mystery intruders."

Only one problem: Last time we checked, Johnston was dating fellow ex-BachieNoni Janur.

Just two days ago, Johnston posted a pic to Instagram of himself working out alongside Janur.

Probably a good thing he's not heading overseas to find a new love anymore, right?
