‘The Bachelorette’ has had its share of thorny seasons, but usually at least one limo needs to have pulled up to the mansion for the drama to begin. But season 22 turned into its own brand of spectacle before audiences got to watch ‘The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives’ divorcée Taylor Frankie Paul hand out a single rose. And now, the journey is over before it began. The new season, set to premiere March 22, has been canceled, ABC pulling the plug March 19 after video footage of a 2023 physical altercation between Paul and her then-boyfriend Dakota Mortensen was published by TMZ. "In light of the newly released video just surfaced today," Disney Entertainment Television said in a statement to E! News, "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.” In a statement to E!, a spokesperson for Paul called the video part of “a destructive campaign to harm Taylor,” saying it "conveniently omits context." Regarding the cancellation, "Taylor is very grateful for ABC’s support as she prioritizes her family’s safety and security," a spokesperson for Paul told E!. Check out E! News’ breakdown of the reality TV controversy. Full Story: https://www.eonline.com/news/1429967/taylor-frankie-pauls-bachelorette-season-canceled
