ABC gambled and rolled the dice on casting Taylor Frankie Paul, and they lost BIG TIME. They wanted the drama and the scandal for ratings, and now it all came back to bite them. This has gotta be like a $100M loss if they don’t air this season at all

Taylor Frankie Paul releases an insane statement, fans are STILL defending her! Let me just clear some things up: 1) the only statement she should be making right now is apologizing, taking responsibility for the things she did wrong, not pointing the fingers at others, and focusing on her family not her career 2) fans focusing on the timing and release of the video…that is NOT the main takeaway. The fact that there IS a video of her throwing chairs at people is what matters! Am I taking crazy pills? 3) the video leak was definitely motivated by the release of her season, but also maybe the second domestic violence incident 3 weeks ago probably impacted that decision. 4) even if it was pure spite, and even if the boyfriend is a complete asshole, it does not absolve her of her behavior 5) if this was a man on the bachelor, and there was a video of him throwing chairs at women and children, NOBODY would be talking about the release of the video and/or his partners behavior that provoked the incident. And if it was a man, on probation for the first incident, and another incident happened just recently, he’d be in jail and he’d be DEAD in the court of public opinion. 6) what you see on a reality tv show about Mormons banging each other is not real life and can’t be the basis for how you judge a real life domestic violence incident

DEMI LOVATO INTERVIEW + Taylor Frankie Paul Allegations

This Bachelorette season is officially over before it even started. ABC has canceled the upcoming season starring Taylor Frankie Paul just days before its scheduled premiere. The decision comes after TMZ released video tied to a 2023 incident involving her and ex Dakota Mortensen, which sparked a new wave of backlash. In a statement, the network said it will not move forward with the season “at this time” and is shifting focus to supporting the family. There is also an ongoing domestic assault investigation connected to the same relationship, with allegations made in both directions. The fallout is already spreading. Filming on The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives has paused and at least one brand has pulled sponsorship. For a franchise built on fairytale endings, this might be one of its most abrupt stops yet. By the way, we have a weekly newsletter rounding up all of the biggest stories so you don’t have to. One newsletter, once a week. Link in bio. Media via ABC #readbantr #viral #abc #bachelorette

@abc is pulling the new season of @bacheloretteabc from the schedule. Following domestic violence allegations involving Taylor Frankie Paul and her ex, Dakota Mortensen, along with a newly surfaced leaked 2023 video, ABC has paused plans to move forward with the upcoming season of The Bachelorette, which had been set to premiere March 22. @disneytvstudios said the network is focusing on supporting the family and did not confirm whether the season will return. @nbc has reportedly cancelled Paul’s scheduled @fallontonight appearance, production is currently paused on Season 5 of @secretlivesonhulu amid an ongoing investigation, and @cinnabon has ended its partnerships tied to The Bachelorette and Mormon Wives.

This Bachelorette season hasn’t even started and it’s already controversial. Taylor Frankie Paul, best known from The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, was already an unconventional pick for the franchise. Now, days before the premiere, past legal issues tied to her relationship with Dakota Mortensen are back in the spotlight after TMZ released video from a 2023 domestic violence incident, sparking a new wave of backlash. The situation includes a prior arrest related to a domestic altercation, along with a more recent police report involving the same relationship. Paul has called the timing “stressful” and says she plans to share her side. Meanwhile, backlash is growing and Cinnabon (yes, Cinnabon) has pulled its sponsorship. ABC hasn’t commented. By the time it premieres (IF it premieres), we’ll see how the conversation goes. Media via Shutterstock/ABC/X #readbantr #bachelorette #viral
