Then: Though the model and makeup artist had fully fallen for financier Ian McKee, “I wasn’t expecting him to, you know, give me a ring,” she told Good Morning America of the 2004 proposal. They broke off their engagement a year later.
Now: More than a decade after filming wrapped, the date night cookbook author—who wed high school sweetheart Michael Broady—alleged she was sexually assaulted by a masseuse during her season.
“She was hired to give me a massage and she said, ‘I’m going to give you a pill,'” Phillips told Reality Steve franchise blogger Steve Carbone in a 2018 podcast episode. “I just assumed it was an aspirin or something to loosen up my back or a Tylenol or something, and it wasn’t that, that’s for sure.”
The last thing Phillips remembered, “is she got naked and she was in the tub with me rubbing my back and rubbing areas that probably she shouldn’t have. Then I was put in bed. I woke up naked. Don’t remember much.”
For years, Phillips added, she stayed quiet on the experience “because in a weird way, I wanted to protect the franchise.” ABC and production company Warner Bros. Television did not comment on Phillips’ claim.
