Separation Anxiety

After a trip back home to Atlanta, we spent some quality time with Mama Robach and it sparked a “when are we getting married conversation.”  We have to admit, we’ve not spoken AT ALL about wedding plans and wondered how long is too long?

A lot has happened since Disney announced it was canceling Taylor Frankie Paul’s Bachelorette season “at this time.”  First, her ex was granted temporary custody and a restraining order against Paul. TMZ is reporting at least five contestants are considering suing the network, while other contestants are speaking out on social media.  We’re even hearing strong reaction from Paul’s Mormon Wives co-stars.  But what we haven’t heard yet from Disney… any condemnation of domestic violence.  Instead, many believe they’re leaving a window open for the series to air at a later date.

Statements are flying and fingers are pointing everywhere in the fallout of the cancellation of Season 22 of “The Bachelorette.”  NBC is reporting on an alleged zoom call earlier this month where a Disney executive said he didn’t want to know too much about Taylor Frankie Paul’s behavior.  Also Paul’s ex has released multiple statements refuting Paul’s new accusation that she has been suffering in silence from his mental and physical abuse.  Dakota Mortensen categorically denied her claims and filed a restraining order against Paul on Thursday.

Word came down that Disney  was cancelling the highly hyped and anticipated new season of the Bachelorette just as we were recording the fallout from newly leaked video of Taylor Frankie Paul attacking her ex.  The disturbing video is from the 2023 domestic violence incident between Paul and Dakota Mortenson, where Paul pleaded guilty to aggravated assault.   Once you hear the audio of her then 5 year old daughter crying in pain when she’s hit with a metal barstool thrown by Paul, it is clear Disney had no choice but to cancel the entire season.

31-year-old Taylor Frankie Paul was visibly nervous and uncomfortable during her first live interview on Good Morning America to promote “The Bachelorette.” Paul wasn’t asked a direct question about the domestic violence investigation, rather she was given an “opportunity to respond” to the headlines… and what we heard from Paul was more “poor me” talk. After another question about the reported pause in “Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” production, and an “I don’t make the decisions” answer, GMA moved on to promote the new season of “The Bachelorette.”

We’re just days away from the premier of a new season of “The Bachelorette” with reality star Taylor Frankie Paul. ABC and Disney made the controversial choice even after Paul pleaded guilty to aggravated assault stemming from a 2023 domestic violence incident. Now, police have confirmed they are investigating yet another reported assault with her same ex-boyfriend who continues to play a prominent role in the newly released season of “The Secret Lives Of Mormon Wives.” The incident has now forced filming of the latest season of Mormon Wives to STOP just as “The Bachelorette” debuts on Sunday.
