This is your entertainment update for March 20th. A former contestant from Taylor Frankie Paul's Plan Bachelorette season is speaking out after ABC canceled the show before it even premiered. The decision came right after a video surfaced, showing a physical confrontation between the 31-year-old influencer and her ex, Dakota Mortensen. Disney cited the footage as the reason to pull the plug and focus on supporting her family. The contestant told E-News that Taylor got heated with several guys during early filming, though not violently. He said she pushed for a truth-box game, like the one from her secret lives at Mormon Wives show, where people submit anonymous gripes. But the men refused, opting to air issues face-to-face instead. Contestants describe themselves as solid guys who showed up with open hearts. Only to feel it was all a waste of time and energy. The unnamed suitor got emotional watching the 5 video, and hoped Taylor gets the help she needs. He called the whole situation pretty heavy. This stems from an alleged altercation between Taylor and Dakota, parents to a two-year-old

son. Utah police opened a domestic assault probe with claims going both ways. Dakota, who recently got a restraining order against her, denied wrongdoing and stressed focusing on their child's safety. Meanwhile, production halted on season 5 of Mormon Wives over the incident. Taylor's rep expressed gratitude to ABC for backing her as she prioritizes family security and considers sharing her side. She stayed quiet amid fears of more backlash.
