This Bachelorette season is officially over before it even started. ABC has canceled the upcoming season starring Taylor Frankie Paul just days before its scheduled premiere. The decision comes after TMZ released video tied to a 2023 incident involving her and ex Dakota Mortensen, which sparked a new wave of backlash. In a statement, the network said it will not move forward with the season “at this time” and is shifting focus to supporting the family. There is also an ongoing domestic assault investigation connected to the same relationship, with allegations made in both directions. The fallout is already spreading. Filming on The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives has paused and at least one brand has pulled sponsorship. For a franchise built on fairytale endings, this might be one of its most abrupt stops yet. By the way, we have a weekly newsletter rounding up all of the biggest stories so you don’t have to. One newsletter, once a week. Link in bio. Media via ABC #readbantr #viral #abc #bachelorette
