ABC Shelves 'Bachelorette' Season With Taylor Frankie Paul After 2023 Assault Video Surfaces

The move underscores questions about casting vetting given her prior guilty plea on an assault charge.

Overview

  • Disney said Thursday it would not move forward with the already filmed season after TMZ posted 2023 footage of a violent altercation in front of a child.
  • Production on The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives has paused as Draper City police confirm an open domestic-assault investigation with allegations reported in both directions.
  • Dakota Mortensen has temporary custody of their son and a temporary protection order, with a court hearing set for April 7 to address new claims from February.
  • Salt Lake County prosecutors requested police reports to assess whether the recent allegations could affect Paul’s existing probation from her 2023 aggravated-assault plea.
  • Contestants were told in a Warner Bros. meeting that their contracts remain in force for a year whether or not the season airs, and some are weighing legal options according to reports.
