Overview
- Brandi Glanville, in a Monday post on X, said she wants to lead The Golden Bachelorette and mocked Taylor Frankie Paul by noting she has no domestic violence charges.
- ABC decided not to air Paul’s already filmed Bachelorette season after a 2023 altercation video surfaced days before the planned premiere, according to multiple outlets.
- Paul was arrested in 2023 after a dispute with ex-partner Dakota Mortensen and later pleaded guilty to one aggravated assault count that can be reduced after three years of probation, with other counts dismissed.
- Us Weekly reports Mortensen was granted a temporary protective order and temporary custody of their son, and West Jordan police are reviewing claims tied to an alleged 2024 incident; Page Six has reported two additional probes involving the pair.
- Fans responded to Glanville’s pitch with supportive comments, and Page Six notes The Golden Bachelorette is an ABC spinoff whose first season starred Joan Vassos and premiered in September 2024.
