0:00On this March 20th, here's what's making entertainment headlines. ABC has canceled season 22 of the Bachelorette, starring Taylor Frankie Paul from Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. The decision came after a video surfaced, showing her throwing a chair at a producer-name Mortensen. Out of the 22 Bachelors who competed for her, nearly half have opened up on social media about their experiences. The plug got pulled just days after Paul told Entertainment Weekly she had had better days. ABC confirmed they would not move forward with the season, and shifted focus to supporting the affected family. Contestants shared a mix of emotions, from gratitude and support, to frustration and betrayal. One former baseball player said he was thankful for the ride despite the end, while a tech executive noted he was doing okay. Others highlighted the strong bonds formed among the group, calling them men full of integrity and heart. But some felt stung, saying they sacrificed a lot, treated her with respect, and gave her a second chance only to see it all unravel.

1:01Reportedly, the final rose recipient sent prayers her way, and urged positivity. With the show scrapped, the men are moving on, reflecting on friendships gained amid the chaos.
