'Bachelor in Paradise' production source calls Joe Bailey a "scumbag," he suggests editing is to blame

Bachelor in Paradise suitor Joe Bailey will reportedly have to rehab his image after this season plays out.


While Bailey has already pissed Clare Crawley off and ABC released preview clips showing him trying to fight JJ Lane in the upcoming weeks, Bailey allegedly finds himself in boiling water on more than one occasion, Us Weekly reported in its August 17 issue.

During Sunday night's broadcast, Bailey, 29, had a sexy date with single mom Juelia Kinney at a waterfall. He asked a lot about her two-year-old daughter and seemed very interested. Bailey acted grateful to be on the date with Kinney, and she thought he was looking to start a serious relationship with her. 

Kinney, 31, left the date completely smitten with the Kentucky native, but according to an Us source, Bailey "has a different agenda. He's hoping to meet another woman."

Bailey made that clear when he asked a producer, "Juelia isn't that smart is she?" He then explained in a confessional how he just needed Kinney's rose and was waiting for Samantha Steffen from Chris Soules' season of The Bachelor to arrive. Bailey was crazy about Steffen, saying he'd want to marry and have kids with her immediately.


To sum up Bailey's behavior on Season 2 of Bachelor in Paradise, a production insider found some choice words.

"Joe ends up being a total scumbag," the insider told the magazine.

While there seems to be an army against Bailey, the reality TV star has already suggested on Twitter the show's editing took situations out of context, making him look bad.

Last night's episode showed Crawley telling Bailey this was her second time on Bachelor in Paradise. In reply, Bailey was shown saying that's "terrible," prompting Crawley to air her frustrations out in a confessional. Crawley called him "a dick" and pointed out that he was being very disrespectful. 

"'It's terrible' was to [Jared Haibon] after asking the question how's work?" Bailey tweeted Tuesday. "Look closely and you can see jareds lips moving... miscommunication."
