Bachelorette Group Chat Silent After Taylor's Arrest

0:00From Durham, this is your March 21st update. The group chat for past Bachelorette Leeds has gone completely quiet since Taylor Frankie Paul season got canceled. Rachel Lindsay shared on her podcast that everyone stopped talking right after news broke about a leaked video from Taylor, assaulting her ex, Dakota Mortensen back in 2023.

ABC pulled the plug on the March 22nd premiere to support her family. Earlier this month, Rachel and other former stars reunited at the Bachelor Mansion late in 2025 to meet Taylor before filming, kicked off. That get-together aired right after the 2026 Oscars. They added her to their WhatsApp chat called Bets, but Rachel says Taylor never responded or messaged once, even when others shared their numbers and… Rachel noted the chat was buzzing last Sunday after the reunion special aired, with

Meanwhile, Dakota denies those claims and has a temporary protective order against her, keeping her away and giving him sole custody of there, two-year-old son until an April Chord date. As legal matters play out between Taylor and Dakota, the Bachelor at-World stays on pause, with fans watching closely for what comes next from the… Franchise.
