HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Rozlyn Papa is slamming The Bachelor after being kicked off the show for an "inappropriate" relationship with a male staffer.

"I absolutely feel betrayed by the show. ... They want the ratings, and that's what they're getting," the 28-year-old single mother tells Entertainment Tonight of the incident, which aired Monday night. "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."

Papa insists she simply befriended the producer, who was fired as a result of the relationship. When asked point blank if she had sex with him, the Richmond, Va. model said, "Absolutely not. No. ... I made good decisions. I did not choose to have sex with someone else."

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