Taylor Frankie Paul's Bachelorette Season to Premiere Next Month After Domestic Violence Allegations
The new season of The Bachelorette, starring Taylor Frankie Paul, is set to premiere next month. The show was previously pulled in March due to domestic violence allegations against Paul.
ABC yanked this season of The Bachelorette before it even aired in March after video surfaced of Secret Lives of Mormon Wives breakout Taylor Frankie Paul throwing metal stools at her ex-boyfriend, Dakota Mortensen. Now, it appears Season 22 is back on track for next month.
According to TMZ , the reality show’s producers are targeting a mid-July premiere, though “final plans are not yet locked.” Editors apparently worked behind the scenes and continued cutting episodes despite the season being pulled.
The footage that surfaced in March was captured in 2023, showing Paul physically attacking Mortensen while a child was present. It was later revealed that there were multiple police investigations of domestic violence between Paul and Mortensen. In April, she was cleared of all charges.
