Multiple contestants from Taylor Frankie Paul‘s season of “The Bachelorette” have spoken out following the news that ABC has halted its plans to air the dating series. The news came after TMZ published footage showing Paul throwing metal stools at her ex-boyfriend Dakota Mortensen while one of her children is nearby.

While most contestants’ public statements have been brief and unspecific thus far, 28-year-old Doug Mason made it clear he sympathizes with Paul.
