Taylor Frankie Paul Campaigns for Unaired Bachelorette Season Release

Paul addressed the network’s decision during a recent interview at LAX, arguing that the project represents significant work for the crew members involved. ABC pulled the season after footage surfaced appearing to show Paul striking her ex-boyfriend, Dakota Mortensen, a development she previously described as an extremely difficult period in her life.

Beyond her stalled reality dating career, Paul is navigating the fallout from her departure from Hulu’s The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. She characterized her exit as impulsive, triggered by what she described as a collective effort by her co-stars to target her. Despite the turmoil, she signaled an openness to returning to the series under one condition: a complete overhaul of the cast. Her former co-star Mikayla Matthews previously announced her own departure, citing an refusal to film with Paul. As the original cast faces uncertainty, Hulu is moving forward with a spin-off, The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County, set to premiere this November.
