Bachelorette Star's Meltdown Leads to Show's Cancellation

It's March 24th. I'm Corey with The Story, and this is Entertainment and Celebrity News

today, AI-powered and star-driven. Taylor Frankie Paul was tapped to lead a new season

of The Bachelorette, but things fell apart during filming. The 31-year-old reality star

faced mounting tensions on set, leading ABC to scrap the entire show just days before

its premiere. The trouble started on a one-on-one date with contestant Casey Hux. He brought up her

in 2023 domestic violence arrest, aiming to learn what she'd gained from it. Paul reportedly

lost her cool and walked off set in a heated moment. Hux had been excited about the opportunity,

calling it the biggest risk he'd taken in pursuit of real love. He even posted on Instagram

about joining her season, hinting at his enthusiasm before the drama unfolded. A video

soon surfaced showing Paul physically confronting her ex-boyfriend Dakota Mortensen with their

young daughter nearby. That footage, combined with resurface bodycam video from the arrest, sealed

the deal for ABC to pull the plug and support the family instead. Paul pleaded guilty to aggravated

a saw from the incident, with other charges dropped. She's on probation until August, marking

the end of what was meant to be her big, bachelor franchise moment.
