ABC Axe Taylor Frankie Paul's Bachelorette Season

On April 6th, ABC just axed Taylor Frankie Paul's upcoming season, as the Bachelorette, after a disturbing video from 2023, dropped.

The footage shows her in a heated fight with ex-boyfriend Dakota Mortensen, where she hits and kicks him, even throws metal chairs, all while there.

Young daughter is right there screaming. The network made the call quick, saying in a statement they're putting the family first and not moving forward.

That season was lined up to drop on a Sunday in March, but now it's off the table completely.

Ashley Iacanetti, the 38-year-old reality star from Bachelor Days, and now on Real Housewives of Rhode Island, broke it down on her podcast.

She called it a smart move, saying Paul wasn't the right fit mentally or emotionally, not with that video's details out and her ties to Dakota Messing.

Paul's been on TV for four seasons already, building a fan base, but this clip changes the game.

She's mom to three kids, including a son, with Mortensen born last March, and two from her ex-husband.

Shows like this thrive on clean images, so expect ripple effects on her reality TV run.

ABC's prioritizing stability here, and the conversation around accountability in these franchises, keeps heating up.

That wraps entertainment and celebrity news today.
