Bachelorette Contestants Consider Lawsuit Over ABC

About this episode

Five contestants from Taylor Frankie Pauls season of The Bachelorette are considering legal action against ABC and its producers, alleging they were put in unsafe situations while filming with Paul. The network pulled the season due to a video showing Paul throwing a stool at her then-boyfriend, with their young daughter nearby. Paul had previously served time on probation for the incident. A new alleged fight led to a restraining order against her, and the contestants claim they put their lives on hold for fame that never came, costing the network millions. Prosecutors are now investigating if the fresh allegations break her probation terms, while Pauls team maintains she endured years of abuse and is focusing on her kids safety with ABCs support.

Intertainment headlines in two minutes or less. You're tuned in to Intertainment and Celebrity News today. Five contestants from Taylor Frankie Paul's season of the Bachelorette are thinking about suing ABC and its producers after their episodes got yanked from the air. The network pulled the whole season just days before its March 22nd premiere when a 2023 video surface showing the 31-year-old drawing a stool at her then boyfriend to Coda Mortensen while their young daughter was nearby crying. Paul had already pled guilty to aggravated assault from that incident and served time on probation but a new alleged fight in February led Mortensen to get a restraining order against her, calling her an immediate threat. The contestants claimed the show put them in an unsafe spot by filming with Paul of Close and they put their lives on hold, some even quit jobs for fame. That never came, leaving the network out about $28 million. Prosecutors are now checking if the fresh allegations break her probation terms while Paul's team says she endured years of abuse herself and is.

Focusing on her kids' safety with ABC's support as things unfold.
