ABC Cancels Taylor Frankie Paul’s ‘Bachelorette’ Season After Fight Video | E! News
Taylor Frankie Paul’s journey to find love has come to a sudden and serious halt. ABC has confirmed that Taylor’s upcoming season of ‘The Bachelorette,’ which had been set to premiere on March 22, will no longer air following the release of a previously unseen video from 2023. The footage, obtained by TMZ, shows a physical altercation between the ‘Secret Lives of Mormon Wives’ star and her then‑boyfriend, Dakota Mortensen. In a statement, a Disney Entertainment spokesperson told E! News that the network decided not to move forward with the season in light of the newly surfaced video, adding that its focus is on supporting the family. After the video’s release, Taylor’s spokesperson responded by calling it part of a “destructive campaign” that allegedly omits context and unfairly targets her. The resurfaced footage has also renewed attention on past legal issues stemming from the 2023 incident, as well as a more recent investigation into an alleged dispute between the former couple earlier this year. Production on Secret Lives of Mormon Wives season five has since been paused while authorities look into the matter. Taylor, who shares a 2‑year‑old son with Dakota and has two children from a previous relationship, has spoken about how difficult the timing has been as she prepared for her television debut.

Cancel her
She is an awful person
Release the season
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
BEST DECISION !
Whew, this is embarrassing AF
It’s obvious from the show she is unwell. Toxic behaviour and patterns everywhere. She spent a summer reading her Bible and thought, ok now I’m ready to date and be in a healthy relationship. Such a joke. No one was going to watch this.
Taylor is good at harming herself. She was violent and abusive. She should have taken her child and left. She was drunk and didnt are.
How can you be a mother of three and be called a bachelorette? Her children are in danger and need to be in protective custody. She doesn't need a reality show she needs some serious counseling
I find the timing of a video from 3 years ago to be very odd.
On top of being a violent person, she’s so facially unattractive. How was she even cast on the Bachelorette after having multiple children with multiple men and a very messy personal life?
TFP….Please go away. It’s not fun or mildly entertaining. Get help.
Beautiful woman caught up ina toxic never ending situation with an EX who clearly didnt want her to move on. Praying she gets away and finds peace within herself.
Good…now can she just disappear from the spotlight?!
That's the smartest thing that ABC has done in 20 years!!!
I guess this the price of fame
I am heartbroken for that injured little girl. Her head may have healed but those memories will never.
She looks like a nutcase
The usual suspect. The network definitely knew about the incident.
Good 👏🏼. She was a poor choice to begin with.
Ratings for this year would be through the roof after this news. Talk about the train wreck you can’t look away from.
Fked up
Honestly, I've never seen the attraction, or redeeming qualities in this "Bachelorette."
She don't even look pretty and they were making her a Bachelorette
They didn't do a criminal background check as a minimum vetting?
A couple things: No one is perfect. Everyone has a past. This was 3 years ago. She was casted less than a year ago right? ABC wasted everyone and I mean everyone's time. Taylor, the contestants, the viewers. Its like a rookie move left and right. She definitely went crazy in that video, yes selfish on her part that her daughter was on the couch when she was throwing chairs. I definitely know people that act out and then are very remorseful. Yes she may need more therapy. This will be a slow and painful recovery for everyone involved. But I mean what does ABC look like releasing this season after all this. If you ask me this has sabotage written all over it. Although if she did sleep with her ex the day before she left for the bachorette than how committed was she really? Never seen more spoilers about who she ended up with in my life. Too many hands in the pot from her PAST. Everyone has a past. This was 3 years ago. She was casted less than a year ago right?

Why wasnt this released even 2 months ago etc. Sounds like jelously from her ex if you ask me. Get it together people!!!
Good on ABC. But they had to know what they were getting.
