Bachelorette Season Cancelled Over Domestic Violence | Durham News

Taylor Frankie Paul, originally set to star in Season 22 of The Bachelorette, saw her season axed just days before airing after a video surfaced of her throwing chairs at her ex-boyfriend during a domestic violence investigation — an incident she’d already pleaded guilty to. ABC cited support for her family, while Taylor’s team emphasized her children’s safety and her journey toward healing. Despite the cancellation, Taylor remains hopeful, personally endorsing a fan-led petition urging ABC to release the footage — complete with tearful emojis. Her ex, Dakota Mortensen, denies the allegations and says he’s focusing on his son’s stability. Utah police dropped charges against Taylor, who’s now completed probation. With ABC silent on whether the episodes will ever air, fans and Taylor herself are holding out hope — but the future of her season remains uncertain.
