TMZ: ABC pulls Taylor Frankie Paul from The Bachelorette

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (KQTV) -- ABC is pulling Taylor Frankie Pauls' season of The Bachelorette after claims of domestic abuse and the release of a 2023 video of her fighting with her child's father, according to TMZ.

A Disney Entertainment spokesperson told TMZ, “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 network shared the information Thursday on the upcoming season of the reality TV dating show, only hours after TMZ published video of Taylor's brutal 2023 fight with Dakota Mortensen.

TMZ said Taylor and Dakota have been ordered to undergo psych exams amid a fresh batch of spousal abuse claims, and the Utah Division of Children and Family Services is investigating ongoing allegations of violence between them.

Her season of "The Bachelorette" was supposed to premiere Sunday on ABC, but now it's over before it even began.

Additionally, Taylor's other reality show, "The Secret Lives of Mormon Lives," has also paused production.
