OK so everyone seems to think that ABC should take Vienna & Jake to Court well let me fill you in on why that wont happen…
Let me explain how this show works… Lets start at the top… ABC is the Network that puts the show ( THE BACHELOR ) on the channel you type into your TV… They pay the Production Company ( NEXT ENTERTAINMENT ) money for the contract for that show The Production Company pays a Casting Company ( not sure who the new casting company is now ) to find all the cast members.. The only people not getting paid for this are you guessed it ( THE CAST MEMBERS ) now with all that being said here we go…
ABC has only ever taken legal action on one person after all these seasons of the Bachelor & Bachelorette and thats BOB GUINEY …. ( Here’s Why )
Bob was on the Bachelorette then became the next Bachelor before Bob ever went on TV he was a musical artist and had been working on an album for release…
After a stint on both shows Bob released his Album and was also given his own TALK SHOW Next Entertainment who is the production company saw this as Infringement of his contract… Their argument was that Bob was using the Bachelor/ette name to promote his singing and acting career. So they took legal action AND LOST …
WELL DONE STANDING YOUR GROUND BOB YOUR THE MAN !!!!
What they failed to understand is that People do have lives prior to being on the show Some of these people are Models, Athletes etc… It says in the contract that every cast member signs that Next Entertainment CAN NOT stop any cast member from making money in a way they did prior to being on the show with that being said… Jake was paid to be on TV as an actor way before being on the Bachelor or Bachelorette and Vienna was being paid to do a bit of Magazine stuff prior to being on the show so YOU WONT BE SEEING ANY LEGAL ACTION HAPPENING ANYTIME SOON….
