0:46Now PlayingABC has cancelled the upcoming season of The Bachelorette, starring Taylor Frankie Paul, just days before its premiere after a 2023 video resurfaced.
The pre-filmed season was set to debut Sunday, but Disney Entertainment Television says it will not move forward ‘at this time.’
This comes after a video was released of an altercation between Paul and Dakota Mortensen. Paul was arrested in 2023 and later pleaded guilty to a misdemeanour charge of aggravated assault.
