ABC Pulls Bachelorette Premiere Amid Domestic Violence Allegations

0:00From the Daily News Now Network, this is Corey, with a story with entertainment and celebrity news today. ABC has pulled the season premiere of the Bachelorette starring Taylor Frankie Paul, just days before it was due to air. The two-hour episode was scheduled for Sunday, March 22nd, at 8 p.m. Eastern Time, but a rerun of American Idol will take its place. Instead, the decision came after a video from 2023, surfaced online, showing the 31-year-old reality star throwing chairs at her ex, Dakota Mortensen, with a child nearby. A new dating show called Love Overboard had been planned to follow right after in the 10 p.m. slot. Paul shares an eight-year-old daughter, named Indy, and a five-and-a-half-year-old son named Ocean, with her ex-husband, Tate Paul. She also has a two-year-old son named Ever, with Mortensen. Network officials released a statement saying they chose not to move forward with the new season in light of the video, and their priority is. Supporting the family, Paul's team called the video release a desperate move by her ex to harm her image, noting it lacks context and dropped on their son's birthday.
