Overview
- Kayla Nicole posted a TikTok on Wednesday, March 25, joking that she should be “the next Bachelorette” and captioned it, “Hey @ABC, heard you need a stand in?”
- ABC pulled Taylor Frankie Paul’s unaired season before its planned premiere after a 2023 TMZ video showed her throwing chairs at ex Dakota Mortensen in front of her daughter.
- Utah police are now reviewing reports of a third alleged domestic-violence incident involving Paul and Mortensen, according to Page Six.
- Disney and ABC have not said whether they will recast the lead or proceed in another way, leaving the franchise’s next steps unclear.
- Outlets from Page Six and the New York Post to Us Weekly and Complex amplified Nicole’s post by highlighting her past with NFL star Travis Kelce, which helps explain the outsized attention to a tongue-in-cheek clip.
