'Bachelorette' season pulled after Taylor Frankie Paul video surfaces

ABC has pulled Taylor Frankie Paul's season of "The Bachelorette" just days before its Sunday premiere, a Disney Entertainment Television spokesperson confirmed to NBC News.

ABC has pulled Taylor Frankie Paul’s season of “The Bachelorette” just days before its Sunday premiere, a Disney Entertainment Television spokesperson confirmed to NBC News.

The move comes amid reports that the “Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” star and her ex, Dakota Mortensen, are involved in an ongoing domestic violence investigation.

A new video published by TMZ on Thursday showed Paul attacking Mortensen in front of her daughter in 2023, during an earlier incident.

“In light of the newly released video just surfaced today, we have made the decision to not move forward with the new season of ‘The Bachelorette’ at this time, and our focus is on supporting the family,” Disney said in its statement.

A spokesperson for Paul said she is “very grateful for ABC’s support as she prioritizes her family’s safety and security. After years of silently suffering extensive mental and physical abuse as well as threats of retaliation, Taylor is finally gaining the strength to face her accuser and taking steps to ensure that she and her children are protected from any further harm.”
