Brandi Glanville Wants to Be the Golden Bachelorette

Brandi Glanville, 53, has thrown her hat in the ring to become the next Golden Bachelorette. She humorously announced on X that it's "time for me to embrace my age" and take on the role, contrasting her own public image with recent events. Glanville pointed out her lack of a criminal record or domestic violence charges.

Her comments arrive days after ABC announced the cancellation of the upcoming season of The Bachelorette. This decision was made after a video surfaced depicting a domestic violence incident from 2023 involving the show's lead and her ex-partner, Dakota Mortensen. A spokesperson for ABC stated their focus would be on supporting the family.

Representatives for the reality star expressed gratitude for ABC's support as she prioritizes her family's safety. This statement detailed her alleged history of enduring abuse and threats, and her current steps to protect herself and her children. Dakota Mortensen, in a separate statement, denied baseless claims and expressed concern for their son's safety.

Reports indicate that Dakota Mortensen has been granted a temporary protective order against the reality star and temporary custody of their son. Furthermore, authorities are reportedly investigating alleged incidents following a domestic dispute in 2024. The West Jordan Police Department confirmed they are reviewing video footage related to the claims.
