Disney / ABC It’s no question that “The Bachelorette” needed a big change. After Jenn Tran’s season ended in 2024 with yet another failed engagement and the show went on hiatus the next year, whoever ABC picked as the lead for Season 22 was going to have to be someone who could recapture America’s attention. Well, as evidenced by ABC pulling the show indefinitely — it was meant to premiere on Sunday — after a video was leaked of a 2023 domestic violence incident between Taylor Frankie Paul and her on again-off again boyfriend Dakota Mortensen, the network and producer Warner Bros. Studio have done just that. But this is surely the companies’ nightmare scenario.
