Taylor Frankie Paul’s Axed ‘Bachelorette’ Season In Talks to Premiere on ABC in July

Months after ABC pulled the plug on Taylor Frankie Paul‘s season of The Bachelorette, the season could finally see the light of day.

According to a report published by TMZ on Wednesday, June 24, the network is in talks to premiere the formerly axed season in July. Despite being pulled just two days before its original March 22 debut, editors continued to cut the episodes, the outlet reported.

While no decision has been made as of yet, ABC is reportedly conducting audience testing to gauge the public’s opinion about the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star.

As Star previously reported, ABC decided not to air her already-filmed season of The Bachelorette, amid news that two new domestic violence investigations were underway involving both Mortensen and Paul.

Shortly after that news broke, TMZ posted a video of an alleged domestic violence altercation between Paul and ex Dakota Mortensen from 2023.

That incident, which took place in 2023, showed Paul hurling a metal barstool at Mortensen and inadvertently hitting her then-5-year-old daughter, Indy, whom she shares with ex-husband Tate.

At the time, Paul was arrested and charged with felony aggravated assault, criminal mischief, and domestic violence in the presence of a child. She ultimately pleaded guilty in abeyance in August 2023 to a third-degree felony count of aggravated assault. She received three years probation and was ordered to abstain from alcohol and illegal drugs.

The Salt Lake County District Attorney’s Office announced in April that Paul would not face charges in connection with the two 2026 domestic violence investigations, per The Salt Lake City Tribune.
