ABC just canceled the upcoming season of “The Bachelorette” only three days before its scheduled premiere.
Executives scrapped the reality show following the sudden release of a shocking 2023 video.
The leaked footage shows series star Taylor Frankie Paul physically attacking her ex-boyfriend, Dakota Mortensen, and throwing metal chairs at him.
One of the chairs allegedly hit her daughter.
Paul and Mortensen are featured on another reality show, The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.
A Disney spokesperson cited the disturbing video and said, “Our focus is on supporting the family.”
A representative for Paul fired back and accused the ex-boyfriend of “extensive mental and physical abuse.”
ABC will now air an “American Idol” rerun this Sunday instead of the highly anticipated dating show.
