      Hi r/entertainment, this is Jake from The Guardian US. We wanted to share this breaking story about the latest on ABC’s The Bachelorette.

      *From our story:*

      ABC has decided to pull the new season of hit dating franchise The Bachelorette after footage of its central star physically assaulting her former partner was leaked.

      Taylor Frankie Paul, who gained fame on reality show The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, had been cast as the central Bachelorette for the 22nd season, which was due to start on Sunday.

      The 31-year-old TikTok influencer had been embroiled in controversy over her 2023 arrest for domestic violence against her now ex Dakota Mortensen. An ongoing “domestic assault investigation” is also under way over an incident in February this year, according to the Draper City police department in Utah.

      At a press event this week, Paul [said](https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/taylor-frankie-paul-reacts-domestic-violence-mormon-wives-1236537350/) it had been “really difficult and heavy” to deal with the investigation, at which time ABC had seemed to be standing by its star and the new season even as she pulled out of an appearance on The Tonight Show on Wednesday.

      On Thursday, [new leaked video from 2023](https://www.tmz.com/2026/03/19/video-of-taylor-frankie-paul-beating-dakota-mortensen/) showed Paul kicking Mortensen and throwing chairs at him with her daughter present. “Your daughter just got hit in the head by a metal chair!” Mortensen tells her, with crying heard from the five-year-old.

      Good, she is a horrible person and honestly needs help mentally. Not saying Dakota doesn’t either. She should never have been picked.

      as well they should

      the series is trash slop

      you call ai slop

      but this is human slop pure and simple

      the only people who watch it are spoiled bimbos with nothing better to do

      I don’t get it. Did they never look her up? Did they never fall down momtok rabbit hole?

      Isn’t wanting to be on one of these shows a big red flag in the first place?
