Disney-owned ABC made the decision to pull “The Bachelorette” after a video emerged of “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” star throwing a chair at her partner.
“The Bachelorette” Pulled
Taylor Frankie Paul, who was this season’s bachelorette, threw a chair at her partner Dakota Mortensen, in the vicinity of one of her children. It was caught on video and made its rounds on the internet.
As a result, ABC pulled the show and made the following announcement:
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.”
“At this time” suggests the season may be aired eventually. There is an open police investigation involving Paul and Mortensen.
Replacements
On Sunday, March 22, a two-hour repeat of American Idol took its place. This coming Sunday, repeats of “America’s Funniest Home Videos” and “The Greatest Average American” will air from 8:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.
It appears ABC will choose replacements on a week-by-week case.
