ABC Cancels Bachelorette Season After Domestic Violence Footage

ABC pulled its 2026 season of The Bachelorette days before the planned premiere after video surfaced showing lead Taylor Frankie Paul involved in a domestic violence incident with ex-boyfriend Dakota Mortensen. Former Bachelor winners Zach Shallcross and Kaity Biggar, speaking at a Clarins event, expressed sympathy for the contestants and supported the network's cancellation. The 22 suitors' episodes will not air, though some may reappear in future franchise shows.
