Reality star Taylor Frankie Paul's season of "The Bachelorette" was cancelled following the release of a 2023 video showing Paul attacking her ex, Dakota Mortensen, with a chair, while her daughter, Indy, was nearby. The cancellation of the season was swiftly followed by ABC's swift cancellation. Paul's spokesperson stated that she is grateful for ABC's support and is taking steps to protect herself and her children from further harm. Mortensen denied the allegations, stating he is focused on the safety of his son, Ever, and his safety. Five contestants from Paul's episode are considering bringing a lawsuit against ABC and Warner Bros. Discovery for creating an unsafe working environment for Paul given her past history.
