Taylor Frankie Paul’s Bachelorette Contestant Reacts to Cancellation | E! News
A contestant from Taylor Frankie Paul’s now‑scrapped season of The Bachelorette is speaking out, sharing his frustration following the show’s shocking cancellation. One of the men who appeared on Taylor’s already‑filmed season spoke exclusively with E! News after ABC pulled the series following the release of a 2023 video obtained by TMZ. The footage shows a physical altercation between the reality star and her now‑ex, Dakota Mortensen, during which a child can be heard crying in the room. The contestant admitted he was angry and disappointed by the decision, saying the men gave up time, energy and personal opportunities to be part of the experience. He said the cast approached the season with open hearts, treated Taylor with kindness and believed she was ready for a fresh start, only to feel let down in hindsight. While describing Taylor’s behavior on set as dramatic, he clarified it was not violent during filming, though he acknowledged there was significant tension between them. He added that the cancellation has been “pretty heavy” for the men involved, saying he hopes Taylor gets the help she needs. ABC later confirmed it would not move forward with the season, citing concern for the family. Since then, both Taylor and Dakota have released statements as investigations and legal matters continue.

Who cares!
He’s not wrong! ABC didn’t do their homework!!!
She’s a looney tunes. Why on earth did they ever pick her. The should have chosen the more normal Miranda. She is beautiful and not unbalanced. Really bad call Bachelorette!!
All those me dodged a bullet! Just one look at her and you can tell she is crazy. Just take her out of the spotlight and let her disappear
ABC should charge her for the ads lol 😂😂
He doesn't need Taylor Frankie Paul.
No man needs a woman that will be abusive.
Besides, Carrie Underwood, Marissa Dubois, Caitlin Hill, Marli Alexa, Lindsey Brewer, Erifili Stakianakis, and Hannah Kohn are all prettier than Taylor.
But this happened before she went there.
Glad he recorded it. Taylor is a child abuser and drunk.
This lady is a double faced on the outside she’s a angel 😇 on the inside a devil 👿 come on no wonder the she won’t get anything liar 🤥
Psycho…can we say Snap Oh an you know shes about to get her own reality TV show… Psychos gone wild staring Franki goes to Hollywood
The guys that go on that show are just clout chasers anyways 🥱 why would you want to date someone sleeping with their ex and have active DV charges??
CANCEL. TFP. NOW.
Believe all men!!! lol
This is not reactive abuse. Dakota was abused by Taylor.
Taylor and her spokesperson are blaming Dakota and playing victim. This is disgusting and they should be ashamed. Their statements are making REAL VICTIMS of DV look misrepresented.
Taylor, you are the problem.
Taylor is always in the middle of the drama on the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives and on commercials of the Bachelorette, you can see Taylor was being abusive towards the men, too.
Taylor needs to focus on healing, she claims she had a traumatic childhood, her mother had a traumatic life as well. There's a cycle here and it needs to end.
The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives could have been inspirational if Taylor was seen focusing on being the best single mother she could be, getting a new career, juggling healing with kiddos and PTO meetings, co-parenting with her ex husband and his new significant other, etc.
Instead all she does is complain, drink, find drama, talking trash, get jealous, sleep with her "toxic ex" etc. And we find out THAT is what the show wants to be as a producer? The show is promoting THAT?!
Absolute traaaash.
RIDICULOUS.
Her daughter was crying because she’d been hit by a metal chair thrown by her mother. So, good job TMZ, you’re finally doing the Lord’s work…
😆😅😂😅😆😅😂😅😆😅😂😅😆😂
Dakota makes this whole thing easy. We have to figure out who the liar is here. If ya know dakota u know how to tell if hes lying…he loes everytime his mouth moves. Since shes been trying to separate herself from him, hes gunned for her nonstop. He hurts her in every way he can. He always has
Taylor’s probably gonna say
Oh my dad leaving me is the root cause of this
Let's remember Dakota thought it was a good idea to get her pregnant THREE times after this fight. They are both sick in the head.
She is the ABUSER not the Father's of her children !!!!!
