The season faced delays due to a viral video from 2023 showing Paul involved in a physical altercation with her ex, dakota Mortensen, which included allegations of domestic violence. This led ABC to suspend the season and pause her other reality show.Despite public efforts from paul to demonstrate she has changed, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/idf-warns-iranians-to-evacuate-area-around-nuclear-reactor-ahead-of-strikes-washington-examiner\/\" title=\"IDF warns Iranians to evacuate area around nuclear reactor ahead of strikes - Washington Examiner\">situation remains sensitive<\/a>. Recently, a Utah court granted Paul unsupervised visitation with her son, though <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >mutual restraining orders<\/a> are still in effect. Reports suggest that ABC might aim to air her season by mid-July, aligning with the network\u2019s schedule for future seasons.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>ABC could be bringing the next season of \u201cThe Bachelorette\u201d to TV next month, according to a new report.<\/p>\n<p>The season, which features Taylor Frankie Paul, has been in limbo since March, but now shows signs of life, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tmz.com\/2026\/06\/24\/taylor-frankie-pauls-season-of-the-bachelorette-airing-on-abc\/#google_vignette\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TMZ<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The site\u2019s best guess was that a mid-July debut is likely.<\/p>\n<p>However, the site noted, \u201cfinal plans are not yet locked.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>ABC decided it might be a good idea not to air the season as planned in March after a video was made public showing Paul throwing metal barstools at her ex, Dakota Mortensen.<\/p>\n<p>Production on Paul\u2019s other reality show, \u201cThe Secret Lives of Mormon Wives,\u201d also hit the pause button as concerns grew over the relationship between Paul and Mortensen.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn light of the newly released video just surfaced today, we have made the decision to not move forward with the new season of \u2018The Bachelorette\u2019 at this time, and our focus is on supporting the family,\u201d a Disney Entertainment Television representative said at the time season 22 was put on ice, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/people.com\/why-was-the-bachelorette-canceled-11930321\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">People<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In the video, which was from 2023, Mortensen recorded Paul\u2019s escapades, saying at one point, \u201cthis is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/disney-abruptly-cancels-the-bachelorette-after-disturbing-video-surfaces\/\" title=\"Disney Abruptly Cancels &#039;The ...&#039; After Disturbing ...
