“Bachelorette” UPDATE: ABC Will NOT Air Taylor Frankie Paul’s Season
ABC has made the last minute decision to cancel Taylor Frankie Paul’s “Bachelorette” season ahead of its March 22nd premiere after a video was leaked showing Paul throwing chairs in an altercation with her ex-boyfriend, Dakota Mortensen. The pair dated from 2022 to 2024 and share a 1-year-old son, Ever. She has two other kids.
The video is of a domestic dispute between the “Secret Lives Of Mormon Wives” star and Mortensen, that resulted in her 2023 arrest on misdemeanor assault and criminal mischief charges.
EXCLUSIVE: Taylor Frankie Paul repeatedly attacked Dakota Mortensen during the 2023 incident in which she pled guilty to aggravated assault; video shows that one of her children was struck during the fight.

In the clip, her daughter was hit by a flying chair.
New allegations from both sides prompted an investigation in late February causing filming to halt on Hulu’s “SLOMW”.
