Report: Logo Execs Aware of 'Find Prince Charming' Escort Past, Planned 'Scandal'

Two suitors from Logo's "The Bachelor"-style gay dating show "Finding Prince Charming" told The Wrap that network executives and producers knew about prince charming Robert Sepulveda Jr.'s escort past and that he was in a sex tape. The anonymous sources also claim the execs planned "the entire scandal to drum up ratings for the ailing network," The Wrap writes.

One contestant said there was "no way" Logo didn't know about Sepulveda's history despite a spokesperson telling The Wrap otherwise earlier this month.

"We all had to go through rigorous background checks for three weeks and another three days before the show even started taping," he told the website. Another suitor added: "I don't believe the network was blindsided. I don't think anyone believes that."

One of the contestants said he recognized Sepulveda, a 33-year-old interior designer, from the sex tape. He told The Wrap when he left "Finding Prince Charming" he searched for Sepulveda online.

"I Googled 'Robert Sepulveda' and the words 'sex tape' and there it was," he said. "Didn't even need to scroll down," he said.

One of The Wrap's sources told the site Logo "wanted to churn up some drama to get attention." He added he thinks the network's execs did not expect the backlash.

"There are videos of Robert out there that are quite disgusting. Now I'm associated with him," one of suitors said. "Try explaining that to your mother."

He added the contract for the reality show allegedly said cast members should not appear in sex tapes or have nude photos that show their faces.

Both sources told The Wrap Sepulveda did not open up about his past on "Finding Prince Charming," saying he only talked to a small group of people.

"We still haven't taped the reunion show," one of the suitors told the site. "He's going to get a piece of my mind for sure."
