Former Bachelorette and Bachelor in Paradise contestant Jamie Doran’s lawsuit against production company Warner Bros International has been delayed until early next year.
The former fireman, who first revealed his plans to sue in July 2020, alleges bullying and lack of duty of care in his complaint. He told Confidential that the case had been delayed by the insurer of Warner Bros.
“Everything is still going ahead,” he said.
“It’s a little complex but the reason things are taking so long is we (my legal team and I) have been dealing with Warner Bros.’ insurer since July 2020.
“We have ticked all the boxes at our end but Warner Bros.’ insurer wants to do a review, which takes place on February 1, 2022.”
Doran, 40, appeared on Channel 10’s now axed dating show Bachelor in Paradise last year as well as Angie Kent’s season of The Bachelorette the year prior.
He said his grievances go beyond his “villain edit” and he has enlisted the help of high-powered Sydney lawyer Keith Redenbach in his pursuit for compensation.
“Once the review is completed, my lawyers and I will move onto the personal injury claim in court against Warner Bros.,” he said.
“I’m hoping this is all over by July 2022 because by then it will be two years since I engaged Redenbach Legal.
“I have been receiving $1000 a week compensation since July 2020. It has been a long, difficult road, but I’m doing this for all past, present and future contestants who these production companies manipulate and effectively ruin their lives, so it’s worth the time and effort.”
