Jamie keeps trying to make it seem like he and Brittney are together so Jackson will back off.

Jamie Doran, a current cast mate on Bachelor in Paradise, has announced he’s suing Network Ten and the producers of the franchise, Warner Bros Australia.
But in a brief, one-line response, Ten say they haven’t “received any papers” from the reality star.
In a post shared on Instagram on Wednesday, Jamie – who first appeared on our screens in the 2019 season of The Bachelorette and was quickly branded a “stage-five clinger” – dropped the bombshell news.

“This is not the news I wanted to post, but I feel I owe this to at least my family, friends and also fans of The Bachelorette and Bachelor in Paradise,” the 40-year-old firefighter wrote.
“After lengthy consideration, I’ve decided to begin legal proceedings against Network 10 & Warner Bros. Australia.
“I’m not going to comment on this any further and would appreciate it if people would respect my privacy.”

Several hours after Jamie made the announcement, a Network 10 spokesperson said: “Network 10 has not received any papers regarding this claim.”
Doran does not go into any further detail about his reasons for pursuing legal action, but some viewers questioned Bachelor in Paradise’s duty of care after confronting scenes last week showed him breaking down in hysterical tears as he begged close friend Timm Hanly not to leave the show.
In the aftermath, host Osher Gunsberg defended the ”robust” mental health support system in place for contestants:
To be CLEAR. The amount of mental health support before/during/after production for the people on this show it significant. But you’ll never know who accessed it, who asked for it, and who continues with it because of privacy. But trust me, it’s ROBUST. #bachelorinparadiseau
It’s probably pertinent to point out that everyone on the show has full access to mental health professionals as well as support from the Warner Bros. Australia and Network 10 teams before, during and after production. #bachelorinparadiseau
Jamie’s copped plenty of criticism this season over his treatment of Brittney Weldon, with whom he’s developed a “friendship” pact with which sees them platonically gift each other roses to stay in the game.
Last week, he hit back and defended himself in a fiery post, while also disabling comments on his Instagram page.
