ET sat down exclusively with Rozlyn Papa, the woman at the center of “The Bachelor” controversy, today for a new two-part interview to begin airing tonight, January 11th.

Rozlyn tells ET she feels “betrayed” after being accused of having an inappropriate relationship with a member of the show’s production, “It seems they want the ratings!” When asked if she had sex with a member of the production team, Rozlyn says, “Absolutely not, no.”

She goes on to say, “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.”

The truth according to Rozlyn is the “inappropriate relationship” was a producer being a good friend, “I would absolutely call him a friend. A good friend. What he did I think is really noble and I’m really happy to have him as a friend.” She maintains that her friendship with the producer did not give her an advantage on the show, “The only thing out of the ordinary was that he sympathized with my situation and my situation was unique, different from the other girls. I made good decisions. I did not choose to have sex with someone else.”

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?”
