It's March 25. This is Entertainment in Celebrity News today, AI-powered stories from the spotlight. Fans of the Bachelorette might still get to see Taylor Frankie Paul season after all. The show got pulled just days before its premiere, when a video surface showing her assaulting her ex-boyfriend and the father of her child, Dakota, Mortensen. She was seen throwing chairs at him with their daughter nearby. Taylor later pleaded guilty to aggravated assault, and the other charges against her were dropped. Earlier this week, reports emerged that ABC, which licenses the series from Warner Brothers, could face a hefty bill of between 50 and 70 million dollars if they don't air the episodes, insiders say the network paused the show rather than canceling it outright, leaving the door open for a possible return. Exx are feeling the squeeze to chase big ratings in revenue, even with Taylor's public legal troubles. Viewers have mixed feelings, wondering if the drama would draw them in or turn them off completely. From the personal front, Dakota now holds a temporary restraining order against Taylor

and has temporary custody of their young son, Ever. The couple is also tangled in a separate ongoing domestic abuse probe. For now, the future of Taylor's season remains up in the air as networks weigh the costs against the potential buzz. Keep an eye out for updates on whether it hits Hulu or Disney+.
