The Woman in 'The Bachelor' Scandal: I Did Not Have Sex with Him

She's been accused of having an inappropriate relationship with a member of the production staff. Now the woman at the center of "The Bachelor" controversy -- Rozlyn Papa -- comes to ET to set the record straight!

Asked if she had sex with the show producer, Rozlyn replies, "Absolutely not. No. … I made good decisions. I did not choose to have sex with someone else."

The story has spread like wildfire. Stunned and shocked, the 28-year-old, divorced single mom told ET's Kevin Frazier in an exclusive interview today that being portrayed as a cheater has hurt her reputation.

"I absolutely feel betrayed by the show. ... They want the ratings, and that's what they're getting," claims Rozlyn. "This seeps into my personal life. I have a 7-year-old little boy at home that I want to look up to me, and to have this blatant lie out there perpetuated by the show itself, it's hurtful. It's scary to think what my son will think of me."

On Friday, "The Bachelor" star Jake Pavelka exclusively told ET, "All of the rumors are true and one of the bachelorettes entered into an inappropriate relationship with a staff member," and confirmed that it was Rozlyn.

The truth, according to Rozlyn, is that inappropriate behavior was a producer being a good friend.

Regarding tonight's episode of "The Bachelor" on ABC, which has been promoting the scandal, Rozlyn says, "I'm afraid it'll be shown and I'll be portrayed as a cheater."

"It really comes down to my son," she continues. "Why would you go on national television and throw a mom under the bus like that?"

Tune into ET Tuesday for our interview with "The Bachelor" host Chris Harrison -- and more of our exclusive one-on-one with Rozlyn Papa! Will the scandal affect the custody of her son?
