Bachelorette Star Fights for Shelved Season Release

Seven months after ABC shelved her season of The Bachelorette, Taylor Frankie Paul is actively seeking its release. Paul stated her desire for the episodes to air, acknowledging the effort put in by the contestants and production team. Her season was canceled just three days before its March 22 premiere, following the emergence of a video depicting her in a past domestic altercation. Disney Entertainment Television cited the new video as the reason for not proceeding with the season at that time.

Despite the cancellation, ABC has not entirely ruled out a future release, with network executives prioritizing Paul's well-being. Meanwhile, fan support for the season's airing remains strong, evidenced by a Change.org petition that has garnered over 25,000 verified signatures. Paul has also shared that she was not in an optimal emotional state during filming, but has since made progress with therapy. Her decision to leave Mormon Wives was impulsive, and she is now reportedly single and dating.
