ABC Pulls ‘The Bachelorette’ Amid Taylor Frankie Paul Domestic Violence Allegations - Lemmy Today

“The Bachelorette” is on pause amid Taylor Frankie Paul and Dakota Mortensen’s toxic fallout. The ABC reality show, which was set to premiere on Sunday, March 22, has been pulled from the schedule. The network has not yet shared whether it will air at a later date. “In light of the newly released video just surfaced today, we have made the decision to not move forward with the new season of ‘The Bachelorette’ at this time, and our focus is on supporting the family,” the statement from a Disney Entertainment Television spokesperson reads.

This is madness - these producers knew about this domestic violence incidence from the start. The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives literally opens with Taylor being arrested for this on camera.

I watched SLoMW and while it does show her getting arrested the actual video of the attack is waaaaaaay worse. They never indicated that the 5 year old daughter was hit by a flying metal stool that Taylor was throwing around.

Agreed, the video is way worse, but it shouldn’t have taken the video being released to know that putting a woman who is convicted of aggravated assault against her partner on the Bachelorette is a bad idea.

Assault is a wide and diverse spectrum ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
