Following the scandal that temporarily shut down production, the cast returned to filming, and she revealed that the Corinne Olympics\/DeMario Jackson situation really touched her.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"color: #000000;font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\">\u201cA lot of people don\u2019t know this that I was in a very abusive relationship and there was a point where I was sexually assaulted and so I guess that\u2019s why I took this kind of really personally,\u201d Raven said to the group and Chris Harrison. \u201cSo I hope this situation doesn\u2019t deter actual victims from coming forward and really speaking their truth and getting help and asking for help.

However, she made a point during BiP to say that she was not slut-shaming Corinne by standing up for DeMario. She was just stating that nothing was wrong on either side. When someone tweeted to Raven saying, \u201cYou\u2019re contributing to a culture that makes it nearly impossible to convict rapists,\u201d she quickly responded. \u201cYou\u2019re contributing to the culture of accusing African American men of a crime they didn\u2019t commit,\u201d she wrote.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"color: #000000;font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\">The race was also brought up on the episode and Raven admitted that in the south, there is a stigma that claims it\u2019s \u201cwrong\u201d for a black man and a white woman to be together; with that, she stated it wasn\u2019t wrong, and what they did wasn\u2019t wrong either.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Source:\u00a0http:\/\/hollywoodlife.com\/2017\/08\/15\/raven-gates-sexually-assaulted-abusive-relationship-bachelor-in-paradise\/<\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/www.biphoo.com\/bipnews\/celebrities\/raven-gates-reveals-she-was-sexually-assaulted-in-very-abusive.html\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"social\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground: #ffffff !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 630px !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When the cast was brought back to Mexico following the Corinne\/DeMario scandal on \u2018Bachelor in Paradise,\u2019 they were all questioned \u2014 and Raven got extremely personal during the segment.
