Is 'The Bachelorette' Canceled? What to Know Amid Taylor Frankie Paul News

  • Production on Season 5 of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives has paused following an open "domestic assault investigation" involving main star Taylor Frankie Paul and her ex-boyfriend Dakota Mortensen.
  • Draper City Police Department officials confirmed the investigation after contact with involved parties on February 24th and 25th, noting that "allegations have been made in both directions" regarding the former couple.
  • This dispute follows prior legal challenges for the pair; Paul faced a 2023 domestic violence arrest resulting in a plea deal, which she later confirmed on the Call Her Daddy podcast had "all the charges" dropped.
  • Production sources indicate the pause is temporary, suggesting filming will likely resume soon without significantly impacting the Season 5 release timeline.
  • ABC has confirmed no changes to the release schedule for The Bachelorette, where Paul stars in Season 22 premiering on March 22, despite the ongoing investigation.
