Bachelorette And Secret Lives Of Mormon Wives Star In Hot Water After Throwing A Chair At Her Ex In Video, Bachelorette Cancels Season

ABC has abruptly pulled the plug on the upcoming season of The Bachelorette after a disturbing video allegedly showing its lead in a violent altercation surfaced online.

The star, identified as Taylor Frankie Paul, who also appears in The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, is at the center of a growing controversy after footage released by TMZ appeared to show her throwing bar stools at her ex-boyfriend during a heated confrontation.

In a statement to TMZ, a spokesperson for Disney Entertainment confirmed the network’s decision to halt the show entirely.

“In light of the newly released video just surfaced today, we have made the decision to not move forward with the new season of The Bachelorette at this time, and our focus is on supporting the family,” the statement read.

Season 22 had been scheduled to premiere on March 22, making the cancellation a last-minute and dramatic move.

The controversy first erupted after video footage circulated online allegedly showing Paul attacking her ex and throwing a chair, which appeared to strike her child, sparking widespread outrage.

Authorities have since become involved. According to Variety, the Draper City Police Department is investigating allegations “on both sides” following a recent incident. However, it remains unclear whether the police probe is directly linked to the viral video or a separate altercation.

No charges have been officially announced, and further details from law enforcement remain limited.

The sudden cancellation has sent shockwaves through fans of the long-running reality franchise, with many questioning how such a serious situation unfolded so close to the show’s launch.

As the investigation continues, the future of both the series and its would-be star remains uncertain, with the network now shifting its focus away from the highly anticipated season and toward the individuals involved in the incident.
