Yahoo • • entertainment
Key Points:
- Taylor Frankie Paul's season of The Bachelorette was canceled just days before its premiere due to a domestic assault investigation involving her and ex-boyfriend Dakota Mortensen, with footage of a violent altercation surfacing online.
- Despite the cancellation, Paul's unaired season has become highly sought after within Disney offices, with insiders comparing its demand to that of Kim Kardashian's sex tape.
- ABC confirmed the decision to pull the season is final and it will never air, although Paul reportedly believes there is still a chance for its return.
- The controversy stems from a 2023 incident where Paul was seen throwing metal bar stools at Mortensen, with one stool accidentally hitting her daughter; this led to the halt of filming for another show she starred in, The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.
- Paul's representative condemned the release of the footage as a manipulative and attention-seeking act by Mortensen, emphasizing the negative impact on their child and defending Paul against the allegations.
