Summary

- Domestic violence charge followed leak of violent video.
- Star is seeking support and preparing to share her story.
ABC has canceled the upcoming season of "The Bachelorette," starring reality TV personality Taylor Frankie Paul, three days before its scheduled premiere. This decision follows the emergence of a 2023 video that showed Paul throwing metal barstools, one of which inadvertently hit her daughter. The video preceded a domestic violence charge against Paul, to which she later pleaded guilty in abeyance to aggravated assault.
A spokesperson for Disney Entertainment Television stated that the cancellation was due to the newly surfaced video, and the network's focus is on supporting the family. A representative for Paul expressed gratitude for ABC's support, emphasizing that the star is prioritizing her family's safety and security.
Paul's representatives added that she had endured years of abuse and threats of retaliation, remaining silent out of fear. She is reportedly exploring all options, seeking support, and preparing to share her story and protect herself and her children from further harm.
