The Bachelorette Pulled, Drama Unfolds

0:00It's March 19th, here's your entertainment news in two minutes. The Bachelorette has been pulled from its schedule just days before its premiere on Sunday March 22nd. ABC decided not to air the new season, after a video surfaced, showing a fight between Star Taylor Frankie Paul and her ex Dakota Mortensen. The network is now focusing on supporting the family involved. This video is from a 2023 incident that led to Paul's arrest back then. It's separate from a February domestic dispute, now under investigation by Utah police. The couple shares a one-year-old son named Ever, an officer spoke to both on February 24th and 25th, with claims going both ways. Paul called the video release a desperate move by Mortensen, especially since it dropped on their son's birthday. She says it lacks context and ignores his own actions. Meanwhile, Mortensen filed for a protective order on Tuesday, asking for temporary custody of Ever, and limits on Paul's alcohol and drug use during visits.

The drama has also paused production on season 5 of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, though sources say it's temporary and not tied to filming. Police are keeping details quiet while the case stays open, and this situation is still developing with no word yet on when the shows might resume. A message from our sponsor supports today's story.
