A major decision involving ABC’s Bachelorette franchise was made this week, as it was determined that the already-filmed Season 22 would be pulled from the 2026 TV schedule. That news came down after the release of a video, which showed the season’s star, reality TV personality Taylor Frankie Paul, involved in a physical altercation with on-and-off boyfriend, Dakota Mortensen. Since then, new details regarding who made the final call have been reported. At the same time, it seems lawsuits could be on the way.
