Bachelor in Paradise star Cassandra Mamone exposes the cruel editing trick behind her ‘villain’ portrayal – as fans label her ‘a truly horrible person’
Cassandra Mamone has blasted ‘editing tricks’ used to depict her time on Bachelor in Paradise.
On Tuesday’s episode, fans turned against the jewellery designer and said she was ‘coming across as a truly horrible person’ in various scenes.
The 34-year-old chose to defend herself on Instagram, claiming a ‘ripper’ of an ‘editing job’ had been done to ‘steer a narrative’.

Cassandra brutally shut Niranga Amarasinghe, 28, down in the episode, before claiming Jackson Garlick could ‘do better’ than her rival Brittney Weldon, 26.
‘I OWN whatever comes out of my mouth directly but I will NOT own piece of different interviews at different times pieced together to steer a narrative,’ she wrote, as footage played from the episode.
The selected clip showed video of Cassandra by herself in Paradise seemingly watching Jackson and Brittney, as a voice-over played and crossed with other footage in a bikini talking to producers about Brittney.

‘I will NOT own piece of different interviews at different times pieced together to steer a narrative’: Cassandra claimed the section had been ‘edited’ to appear like one dialogue
‘Really that was your best choice?… sorry Brittney,’ she was filmed saying in the clip, while her other comments were not shown on camera.
‘Thank you to those who realised the editing on this ripper… you’re the smart ones,’ Cassandra claimed.
Daily Mail Australia has contacted Channel 10 for comment.
Cassandra’s recent claims echo a similar ‘editing trick’ allegation made by her BIP 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 also portrayed as the ‘villain’ on Matt Agnew’s season of The Bachelor last year, called out ‘editing tricks’ on the franchise.
The 25-year-old influencer exposed the tell-tale sign someone might be unfairly given the ‘villain’ edit in an interview with New Idea this month.
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.
