ABC will not be airing the upcoming season.
March 19, 2026
ABC has made the decision to pull the upcoming season of The Bachelorette, which was scheduled to premiere this Sunday featuring Taylor Frankie Paul. The move was made in reaction to a video from 2023 being circulated involving Paul in an altercation with her ex, Dakota Mortensen.
"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," said a Disney spokesperson in a released statement.
The pulling of The Bachelorette comes on the heels of news that Season 5 of 'The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives,' also featuring Paul, has paused production related to a domestic assault investigation involving Paul and Mortensen.

This isn't shocking... Taylor is clearly a toxic person. The question is why did ABC make her the Bachelorette in the first place? The video is from 2023 and her issues are well known.
