ABC has halted the upcoming 22nd season of ‘The Bachelorette’ following the release of a 2023 video. The footage depicts star Taylor Frankie Paul allegedly attacking her ex-boyfriend, Dakota Mortensen.
Paul, known from ‘The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives,’ had generated interest in the reality franchise. However, she previously pleaded guilty to aggravated assault related to the 2023 incident.
The video reportedly shows Paul punching, kicking, and throwing objects during the altercation, which occurred while her young daughter was present.
The network made the decision to pull the season after the footage surfaced, casting doubt on whether the season will ever be broadcast.
