The producer -- who has been identified as Ryan Callahan -- was also dumped by his girlfriend after she learned about the allegations, E! News reported Thursday.
"He had a girlfriend that worked on the show at the time," a source told E! News. "They were together, and he cheated on her with [Papa]."
Monday night's The Bachelor broadcast concluded with Papa being eliminated from the competition after being confronted by host Chris Harrison about the alleged "inappropriate relationship" during the episode.
In addition, Harrison has stated Papa had continued her relationship with the producer, which she has also denied.
Callahan has had a rough year relationship-wise, according to RadarOnline, which reported Thursday that his estranged wife Stephanie Thorpe filed for divorce last May -- citing irreconcilable differences.
