Bachelor Nation is speaking out in the wake of ABC pulling “The Bachelorette” from the schedule. On Thursday, ABC announced the decision not to air the season, hours after a video of a 2023 domestic dispute between their lead, Taylor Frankie Paul and her ex-boyfriend, Dakota Mortensen, leaked online.

Former “Bachelorette” lead Rachel Lindsay was caught off guard when the news broke while she was recording the “Bachelor Party” podcast.
