In the lawsuit Papa charges the defendants in falsely identifying her as starring a porn video that was actually shot in 2004 and featured X-rated star Lucy B.

The defendants continued to advertise and state that Papa was in the tape despite a public press release from the director and male star saying that it was not her and identifying Lucy B.
Mental anguish, lost revenues and a damaged reputation add up to Papa asking for more than $1 million in the suit.
Zero attempt has been made by the plaintiffs to cease and desist from using Papa’s likeness in an unauthorized manner, she charges.

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: Rozlyn Says “I Did Not Have Sexual Relationship With Producer”
Papa says in the court papers that she has been approached to appear in other reality TV shows since leaving The Bachelor. She was booted from the show after it was alleged she had an inappropriate relationship with one of the producers. Papa denied having a sexual relationship and became a controversial figure who returned later in the season and argued on camera with the other contestants.

The Bachelor host Chris Harrison shot down the claims made by ousted contestant Rozlyn Papa on Fox News Tuesday, and RadarOnline.com's got the full scoop for you.
The drama with Harrison and Papa traces back to last month, when Harrison dismissed Papa from the show for an "inappropriate relationship" with Ryan Callahan, a producer for the ABC reality hit.

The claws were out on The Bachelor Women Tell All Special when the twenty three women Jake Pavelka kicked off the show returned to face off against one another and the man whose heart they went on the show to win. One fiery highlight: the return of Rozlyn Papa who left the show because of an alleged relationship with a producer.

Chris Harrison opened the evening’s discussion on the controversy saying, “there is one topic we’re gonna discuss tonight, this 10,000-pound elephant in the room. Let’s talk about Rozlyn. I just want facts.”
Gia, who roomed with Papa, put it simply: “I don’t know if something sexual went on, but something definitely went on…I could see where she was and where she wasn’t and she was not in the bedroom at night. She was not sleeping there.”
Ashleigh happily chimed in, “Chris, the truth of the story is that several of us witnessed so many things throughout the house that was just inappropriate…the cuddling and the kissing on the forehead. They weren’t hiding anything and if they were trying to, they were really bad at it.” She admitted she and other females complained about it.
Jessie claimed that she saw Rozlyn and the producer making out and Ella described a bizarre moment of walking in on Rozlyn on all fours with her butt sticking out. “She said, ‘If you all see the producer, tell him to come in because I need to be put to bed,” Ella said, causing the crowd to burst into shocked gasps and snickers.

When Rozlyn walked out, the crowd politely clapped though many of them(including the other contestants) had scowls on their face. “What is true, in your mind?’ Harrison asked her. “Our friendship started when he came to Richmond,” Papa said. “There was nothing inappropriate about it.” She maintained that nothing physical happened between them and that it was simply a friendship. Harrison questioned why Papa didn’t speak up more and deny the allegations. Papa said she believed they were referencing her struggle with the crew over calling her son- a claim dismissed by the other contestants who are single mothers.
“What is this physical relationship, I would like to know about it please,” Papa said. After a commercial break, they delved right in with Harrison opening the floor to the other contestants who quickly supplied details. “You guys are so silly, come on,” Papa said to their claims. “On my child’s life, that never happened,” she said after one girl mentioned spotting her and the producer making out.
“What I am saying, is the truth. I can’t put pieces together,” Papa said, questioning how the cameras had missed this supposed controversy. “I will say, just for everyone…you know very well, as do these women, that we don’t shoot you 24/7,” Harrison responded. “There is a lot of down time…the producers know, especially if it’s an overnight producer, where and when the cameras will be.”
Papa said she and the producer have “remained friends” and has even been to her hometown- with his dad. “Show of hands, any producers or parents swing by your house since you’ve been gone,” Harrison asked the other ladies as the crowd giggled. Though Papa fired back at Harrison, claiming the producer said the host hit on his wife in New Zealand (“I clearly will not dignify that with a response,” Harrison said), Harrison ended the tense showdown with: “I hope you will become a better person from this…I wish you the best.”

There were many explanations made by the women: Ashleigh admitted that she planned her first night fall into Jake’s arm and Elizabeth opened up about her using a no-kiss rule to taunt Jake.
One highlight of the female discards was Michelle who was discarded during the middle of a date for her seemingly “psycho” and controlling behavior. “I really think that she doesn’t need a husband, she needs a therapist first,” Elizabeth said during that episode, summing up everyone’s perception of Michelle.
“I was hoping there would be a connection there with that kiss…I wear my heart on my sleeve, I have no regrets,” she told Harrison after watching her montage. “I’m stable,” she said, which caused the crowd to laugh in disbelief.

Time was also spent on the other two frontrunners who didn’t make it to the top two: Gia and Ali. After a recap of her time on the show, a teary-eyed Gia sat across from Chris Harrison to reflect. “It’s tough, it still gets me. I never showed him how I felt,” she explained. “I was scared the whole time.” The New York girl was thankful for the experience though. “I really learned how to express myself…next guy that I meet, I am telling him how I feel…I’m going to let it all out.”
Ali was also teary-eyed as she watched her video summary. “It’s really hard to watch,” she said. “It really was one of the most emotional things I ever had to go through. I miss him sometimes so it’s hard to watch.” She also buried the hatchet with Vienna. “I look back on that and I am disappointed in my actions that night,” she admitted when she reflected on her reaction to Vienna’s one-on-one date with Jake. “I think all of us as people even need to be supportive of Vienna because she’s getting trashed in the tabloids. She’s a person, we all lived with her…no one deserves that,” Ali continued. “Vienna, if you’re watching, I’m sorry. I’m sorry for the things that I said. I’m sorry it turned out that way. Stay strong.” Knowing what she knows now, Ali would choose love over work in the future. “But I would have come back and fought like hell to get that job back,” the feisty blonde added with a laugh.
While Jake finally came on the show in the end, it was nearly anti-climactic (even with his “my heart was crying” apology to Gia and his admission that Ali’s departure “hit about a 10” in pain) after such a drama-filled episode!

While he wouldn’t reveal the last woman standing, Jake did give one hint about his post-finale life: “Yes, I am happy.”

The woman behind the biggest scandal in Bachelor history held her head high for her return on the Women Tell All episode taping, but she said the show had a different agenda for her.
“It was very weird, they had me secluded. They’re trying to villainize me, they’re doing their best,” Rozlyn Papa told RadarOnline.com in an exclusive interview.
She described her experience with the episode taping. “They had me in a different part of the building; they had me in a part where I had no access to anyone else. They had the girls out there for several hours before they brought me out.”

It’s down to the wire for hunky Bachelor Jake Pavelka and soon the attention will shift to ABC's new Bachlorette. Former contestant Rozlyn Papa spoke exclusively to RadarOnline.com, slamming Ali Fedotowsky, the rumored pick to be the next Bachelorette.
VIDEO: Jake Rejects Ali's Plea To Return
“I have heard that Ali is going to be the new Bachelorette," Papa confirmed. She isn't surprised the fellow blonde wants a reality show reprise, saying that Ali has tried to be on multiple programs.
"It would make sense. This is like the fourth reality show she’s tried out for. she’s got it down, she knows what they’re looking for," Papa said.

Ali is "interested in making a career out of these reality shows," Papa continued. "I’ve heard that from several people, including one of the producers. She didn’t make it on to the other shows."

While the two women barely know one another or even interacted during their time on the show, Ali was shockingly antagonistic towards Papa during the Women Tell All reunion special airing on February 22.
“She was really nasty on the Women Tell All. She was giving me these dirty horrible looks and I don’t even know that girl,” a bewildered Papa revealed. “When I was on the date, she was not there. When she was on her date I was not there. We never even really interacted much, I don’t know what she is so angry about. On the stage at the Women Tell All she was giving me dirty looks. It was bizarre.”

Papa says Ali had her methods of manipulation early on in the season when she supposedly was losing her voice, forcing Jake to lean in closer to her.
From the first night, Ali "came out there and had the whole I’m losing my voice thing...It was so calculated and so silly.
“When she was talking to the girls her voice was just fine. It was just when it was time for the cameras and for her to be around Jake- 'oh I lost my voice, you have to get really close. Oh, I’m sick, I hope you have time to hang out when I actually have a voice.' It was so phony.”

Rozlyn Papa, the woman who was unceremoniously escorted off The Bachelor in the second episode for an “inappropriate relationship” with a show producer, returned to confront her accusers at The Women Tell All taping, and had a shocking accusation of her own.

“I wasn’t nice to Chris Harrison,” Rozyln told RadarOnline.com in an exclusive interview. The two have a history together -- Chris was the one who dismissed Rozlyn for what was deemed an "inappropriate relationship" with a show producer who was fired from his job as well. The producer, Ryan Callahan, had been married to a woman named Stephanie.

ABC’s The Bachelor moved to picturesque St. Lucia on Monday with Jake Pavelka looking forward to a tropical getaway with his three final women: girl-next-door Tenley, season villain Vienna and smoldering Gia.
VIDEO: Ali Walks Away From The Bachelor
Before the first commercial break, one thing was clear: Ali, the frontrunner who left the show last week in order to keep her job, was going to somehow make her presence still known.
“I was just scared, work has always been my safe place,” Ali said as shots of her staring at publicity photos of Jake by her bedside flashed. “I always thought my love for my career could get me through life…I realized my life is without love.
“Everyday I am away from him, my heart breaks a little bit more.” Don't worry, more to come from Ali later in the show!
PHOTOS: Meet This Season’s Bachelor Girls
The first date of the episode was a boat trip and rustic lunch with swimsuit model Gia. After a coconut and reggae-filled afternoon, the two took a dip into the ocean for a make out session in the sunset. At night, they nestled away in the island’s Smuggler’s Cove for a dinner at the water’s edge.
After patting each other on the back for being both attractive and “deep,” Jake and Gia cheered to some white wine before locking lips. Skipping to dessert, they retire to a nearby hammock for more cuddling and conversation where Jake gives her a card to join him overnight in the fantasy suite. “I’m ready to go all the way,” Gia said. Hmm, we wonder what she means by that! From the final image of them kissing in the bathtub, we have some idea…
The next day, Jake changes gears to spend time with bubbly Tenley who he takes around the island in a helicopter. Their final destination was a picnic spot by an abandoned sugar mill in the middle of the rainforest. Tenley laid things out early promising Jake, “I can see us together. I can see us being really happy, just having a lot of fun. I make a commitment, I stick to it.” Jake countered that he will have a “boy crush” on his wife forever.

After a playful splash in the water, Jake enjoyed his second sunset makeout session in the waves! Adding some suspense to the saccharine date, Tenley talked about her trepidation about the fantasy suite card. “It was in the back of my mind. I haven’t been with another man since I was married. Being with Jake overnight is a big deal,” she said in a voiceover. “I’m not sure if I’m ready to make that leap of faith.”
“Tenley just melted my heart,” Jake said after Tenley told him she was falling in love with him. Possibly trying to seal the fantasy suite card deal, Jake asked ballerina Tenley to dance. It clearly worked! “I want every second that I can have with you,” Tenley said as she accepted the invitation. Once up in the suite, Jake and Tenley retired to the pool where the cameras left them wrapped in each other’s arms.

Going from angelic to devilish, Jake took Vienna to a pirate ship on the third date of the episode. Characteristic of their relationship, the two had a playful (and sort of childish) afternoon running around the ship and taking a dive in the water. Vienna clearly brings out the silly side of Jake who happily donned a pirate bandana, accent and sword. Once back on shore, they rolled around in the sand in a sexy kiss-filled frolic.
After professing that she was ready for marriage, Jake took a step he had yet to with any other woman, asking Vienna what type of ring she wanted (thin platinum band with a princess cut diamond with some “bling around the ring” for the record). Taking her back a step after moving two forward, Jake also revealed that he had fallen for Tenley and Gia as well. Vienna did him (and Tenley and Gia) one better, tearfully confessing that she was in love with him. Not surprisingly, Vienna took him up on the fantasy suite offer, even having a piece of white, silky lingerie on hand for the occasion.

Finally to the big moment of the evening: Ali’s phone call to Jake asking to be kept in the running. “All I can say is I know I made the wrong choice and I want to come back,” she said over the phone. “I really would hate to think that because of my fear or my mistake, we would never find out if we were really a match.” Jake, rubbing his head furiously, tried to summon a response as Ali continued to make her case. “You drove away with a piece of my heart,” a frustrated Jake told her. “Ali, I was falling in love with you in San Francisco but the problem is when you left, it really forced me to put what I felt for you aside. Ali, I can honestly tell you I am further along with these three women here and I don’t know who I would send home to have you back. I don’t know how I could make that happen.
“Everything about me wants to say get on a plane, come here right now but I’m falling in love with these women that are here. Ali, I just have to go with my heart and I know what it’s telling me, I know exactly what it’s telling me.” As sad piano music began to play, the two said their second goodbye. “Don’t be sorry,” Jake told her. “I’m sorry. I really, really appreciate you calling me. I’m so sorry you had to make that decision.”

Before choosing the second-to-last woman he would send home, Jake watched video messages from the final three ladies as they lined up for another rose ceremony. As he faced his chosen few, he professed his love to the group before giving the two roses to Tenley and Vienna. Clearly upset, Gia fought back tears as Jake tried to explain why he let her go.
“I know I haven’t been the most open, I know I’m slow-moving,” she told Jake. “I wasn’t able to give you what you need and you have two great girls there.” Adding to her class-act goodbye, she ended her farewell by telling him “I am happy for you.”
