After the suicide of Gia Allemand,  producers of "The Bachelor" said she could have seen a therapist and claim they're not to blame.

Allemand, a season 14 contestant on the hit ABC franchise "The Bachelor", died on Aug. 14 after being removed from life support following an apparent suicide.

Gia could have seen on-set therapists that were available.

"We go to great lengths to make sure these people are okay," show host Chris Harrison said. "We have a support system. ... We're cognizant this is an emotional thing they are feeling."

After all, competing against other women for the attention of one man might be difficult to even a very stable person...and they said they thought she was stable.

"Bachelor" contestants must be screened, they said, and Allemand was. Allemand passed a difficult vetting process which included background checks, they said.

Fans, friends, and others on "The Bachelor" said the 29-year-old showed no indication of wanting to kill herself...but she did.

"We take finding a suitable partner for our Bachelor or Bachelorette very seriously," Mike Fleiss, creator of the franchise, said in a separate interview.

'I wouldn't put any assumption that The Bachelor franchise shouldn't have had her cast,' fellow contestant Michelle Money said.

Money added, "The thing that's hard is you never know what's going on in someone's mind. Someone can be holding their head so high, but inside they're battling these demons."

Some disagree, though, saying vulnerability was visible.

"I could tell there was some insecurity going," Reid Rosenthal, a friend of Allemand's and contestant on season five of "The Bachelorette," told press. "I don't know what she needed out of life. It's sad."
