Brad Ledford, a 29-year-old cowboy and entrepreneur from Newport Beach, California, was one of 22 men vying for Taylor Frankie Paul's heart on the ABC reality dating series The Bachelorette. However, the season was cancelled due to reports of an alleged domestic violence incident involving Paul's ex-husband and her ex-boyfriend, Dakota Mortensen. Ledford was involved in the 2014 car crash that left former North Carolina Congressman Madison Cawthorn partially paralyzed and reliant on a wheelchair. The pair reconciled a few years later and Ledford stated that God has already forgiven him.
