ABC just pulled the plug—hard—on the upcoming season of The Bachelorette right before its premiere. The reason? A newly surfaced video involving the show’s star, Taylor Frankie Paul, tied to a domestic assault case. The footage reportedly shows a violent incident from 2023, and there’s now an active investigation with claims going both ways between her and Dakota Mortenson. This was supposed to be a comeback season for the franchise, which has already had a rough year—previous cancellations, behind-the-scenes drama, and leadership shakeups. Instead, it’s now the first time a season has been scrapped this close to launch.
