Shockwaves Through Reality TV: ABC Cancels 'The Bachelorette' Season Starring Taylor Frankie Paul Amidst 2023 Video Controversy

In an unprecedented move, ABC has pulled the plug on the highly anticipated season of 'The Bachelorette' featuring TikTok sensation and reality star Taylor Frankie Paul. The abrupt cancellation, announced on March 20, 2026, comes just days before its scheduled premiere and is directly linked to the resurfacing of a disturbing 2023 video depicting Paul in a domestic violence incident.
