ABC Pulls Taylor Frankie Paul Bachelorette Season After Abuse Video Surfaces
ABC has canceled Taylor Frankie Paul’s upcoming season of “The Bachelorette” due to reports of an ongoing domestic violence investigation involving her and ex-partner Dakota Mortensen. This decision follows the release of a video allegedly showing Paul assaulting Mortensen in 2023, an incident for which she previously faced charges. In response, a spokesperson for Paul stated she is prioritizing her family’s safety and gaining strength to address her accuser. The controversy has also led to Cinnabon terminating its collaboration with “The Bachelorette” and “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives,” and production on the latter show has been paused.
