ABC ignorierte die Warnungen der „Mormon Wives“ der in Ungnade gefallenen Bachelorette

Weeks before ABC [abruptly canceled *The Bachelorette*](https://www.thedailybeast.com/obsessed/abc-abruptly-cancels-taylor-frankie-pauls-bachelorette-3-days-before-premiere/)*,* its lead’s TV co-stars tried to warn the network of her disturbing past, including the newly released video of her domestic abuse.

Taylor Frankie Paul’s fellow cast members on *The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives* told multiple ABC and Disney executives about Paul’s “distressing” and “upsetting” video in a 30-minute meeting, audio leaked to NBC News revealed.

In the Mar. 7 meeting, one of the *Mormon Wives* said it was “concerning” that no executive was interested in the details of the newly released footage that showed Paul, 31, throwing metal barstools at her ex, Dakota Mortensen, 33, in 2023, one of which appears to possibly strike her daughter, who was just five at the time.

“I don’t know a lot, nor do I want to know too much,” Rob Mills, the executive vice president of unscripted and alternative entertainment at Walt Disney Television, told the *Mormon Wives*.

“This is not me putting my head in the sand, but it’s not me—you know, I don’t want to inquire, because I don’t know what that does,” Mills added.

Later in the meeting, one cast member asked the Disney executive if he was “aware she’s hurt a child,” to which Mills replied, “I don’t think, for us, getting into it is right.”

“I want this to continue, and I want everyone to continue really being successful, both with this show and beyond it,” Mills said, “But I think really, just navigating through this thing and taking care of each other is the most important thing right now.”

How did they ignore it?

Did they not even know this was brought up on her own show?

They hoped the video would never come out.

ABC knew and are just pretending they did not know.
I didn’t watch the show and I knew about it.

Looks like a lot of bachelors just dodged a bullet… and possibly a chair.

The airwaves thank you, ABC – for once

They knew. People who watched the tick toks knew. People who watched the show knew. They ignored it to make money. The film does make it much more damning to poeple out of the know.

The best part: taylor and Dakota are still on again off again on her show. She even slept with him the night before going TO FILM THE BACHELORETTE. The season of SLOMW ends with them asking if Taylor is PREGNANT with Dakotas child!
