Bachelor in Paradise star Cassandra Mamone exposes the cruel editing trick behind her ‘villain’ portrayal – as fans label her ‘a truly horrible person’
Bachelor in Paradise star Cassandra Mamone has blasted the ‘editing tricks’ used to depict her as a ‘villain’ on the popular dating show.
On Tuesday’s episode, fans turned on the jewellery designer and said she was ‘a truly horrible person’ for making catty remarks in several scenes.
But the 34-year-old hit back at her portrayal on Wednesday, saying she had been stitched up by producers in a ‘ripper of an editing job’.

During the episode, Cassandra shut down fan favourite Niranga Amarasinghe and then said that intruder Jackson Garlick could ‘do better’ than Brittney Weldon.
But she told her Instagram followers these remarks had been taken out of context.
‘I own whatever comes out of my mouth directly, but I will not own pieces of different interviews at different times pieced together to steer a narrative,’ she said.

Cassandra’s claims echo similar allegations about the show’s editing made by her Bachelor in Paradise co-star Abbie Chatfield earlier this month.

‘Assume it’s edited’: Abbie explained that when a person is heard speaking in a voice over, rather than on camera, it’s likely their words have been taken out of context
Abbie, who was portrayed as the villain on Matt Agnew’s season of The Bachelor last year and lasted less than a week in Paradise, explained how producers use ‘editing tricks’ to make contestants look bad.
Speaking to New Idea magazine, the 25-year-old influencer said there’s a tell-tale sign that someone is being given an unfair edit on a reality show.
Abbie explained that when a person is heard speaking in a voice over, rather than on camera, it’s likely their words have been taken out of context.
‘They turn the music up so you can’t notice’: Abbie added that editors often cut ‘single words’ together to form totally new sentences in a practice known as ‘frakenbiting’
‘Unless you see [a statement] come from someone’s mouth, word for word on camera, assume it’s edited,’ she said.
‘And when you notice that one thing, you notice all the bad things people say are in voice overs! I only know when I was edited because I knew what I had said. So I was like, “That’s not what I said in that context.”‘
Abbie added that editors often cut ‘single words’ together to form totally new sentences in a practice known as ‘frakenbiting’.
‘They turn the music up so you can’t notice,’ she said, explaining how the soundtrack makes it hard to hear where different soundbites have been pieced together.
