ABC’s Bachelorette Season 22 CANCELED After 2023 Taylor Frankie Paul Video Surfaces
Disney, Warner Horizon and ABC were locked and loaded to premiere Season 22 of The Bachelorette this Sunday. They fully intended to broadcast a woman who completely detonated her family through infidelity as the ultimate prize for 22 men on national television.
They knew she had an open assault investigation for throwing a metal chair. They looked at her rap sheet, saw the toxic behavior and decided she was the perfect lead. Why? Because they want to earn money off the total collapse of societal standards. They want to monetize the destruction of the family unit.
They didn’t give a damn about her documented history of domestic violence. But this morning, TMZ leaked the raw security footage.
The video showed the physical beating in high definition. More importantly, it showed her child getting hit in the crossfire. Harming a kid on camera finally crossed the line. Make no mistake — Disney and ABC already knew the exact details of that police report. They simply assumed they could spin the narrative, sanitize her image and hide the violent reality from their advertisers. The raw MP4 file destroyed their public relations campaign in real-time, forcing them to cancel the entire season today just to save their own corporate wallets.
Production of the Hulu “reality” series Secret Lives of Mormon Wives has also been paused.

The 72-Hour Death Spiral
Since this story broke this morning, the “Technicality Trap” has completely disintegrated into a full-blown criminal disaster. New data reveals that the “downward spiral” didn’t start today—it’s been the baseline for weeks.
- The Pre-Show Betrayal: It has now been confirmed that Taylor Frankie Paul was sleeping with her “toxic” ex-boyfriend, Dakota Mortensen, until the very night before she left to film The Bachelorette. While ABC was preparing to market her “journey for true love,” she was still entangled in the exact same wreckage she claimed to be escaping.
- The 72-Hour Combat Log: Within the last three days, two separate domestic violence incidents occurred. In the first, Paul allegedly grabbed Mortensen’s throat and ripped off his necklace in front of their child. The following night, she reportedly returned to his house, scratched his face, and smashed his phone.
- Willful Blindness: ABC producers were explicitly warned by Mortensen about this exact behavior before filming began. They didn’t just ignore the warnings—they tried to recruit the victim for the show to maximize the drama. They knew she was a “Killer of Men” and they sold her as a prize anyway.
The Baltimore Parallel: Stalling for Time
This isn’t just a Hollywood problem. We see this exact same “Willful Blindness” and narrative control right here in the city.
The Baltimore State’s Attorney’s Office (SAO) is currently running the exact same stall tactic with the Jayden Simpson evidence. Just like ABC tried to hide the domestic violence reports to protect their Sunday premiere, the SAO buries raw data because they know the visual reality will destroy their official story. They delay the public records requests and redact the files to protect their own political assets. If an independent outlet like The Baltimore Informer didn’t demand the receipts, the truth would be buried until June.
Whether we look at Hollywood executives platforming a domestic abuser or Baltimore officials hiding homicide evidence, the defense mechanism remains identical. They hide the tape because the tape doesn’t lie. They think you are too stupid to demand the raw data!
Prove them wrong. Go look at the massive corporate brands that buy ad space on ABC on Sunday nights. Tag the car manufacturers, the insurance conglomerates and the tech companies. Ask them publicly why they were perfectly willing to pay a premium to fund a domestic violence apologist right up until a leaked video forced the network’s hand.
The executives pulling the strings rely on your silence. Hit their advertisers and let them know the people in this country refuse to subsidize the decay of our culture. Stay sharp, Baltimore.
