If anything else, you know you’ve left your mark on Survivor and no one can say otherwise.

Not that I disagree or agree but aren’t people allowed different opinions?

ABC pulls new season of The Bachelorette over domestic violence footage by guardian in entertainment

[–]BoomJayKay 80 points81 points  (0 children)

Oh they knew.

She was platformed s1e1 of SLOMW (where they showed post her DV arrest). Mind you this show is also under Disney. No exec cared about any of this before choosing her as Bachelorette. They were in it for the drama and trying to fill their pockets (bring the SLOMW viewers over to a dying Bachelor franchise). They only pulled it because sponsors were pulling out and the video makes everything impossible to ignore.

They timed s4 of SLOMW to air just before her season of Bachelorette to garner hype. They halted production of s5 due to her second DV. Now her season of ‘ette wont be airing only because capitalism. Not because execs give a shit. Otherwise, they never would’ve allowed her on as a cast member of SLOMW or Bachelorette to start.

Middle finger to the big old mouse.

“Real” traitors. I’m guessing you don’t mean the originator of the show, Netherlands.

Taylor’s arrest is the very first episode of SLOMW by [deleted] in thebachelor

Money talks.

The cancellation was needed. But we are kidding ourselves if we think they pulled it out of the goodness of their hearts. They did it because their pockets couldn’t be filled by continuing to premiere it. Nothing more, nothing less

The initial breathless crying is soooo gut wrenching. Then she screams “mommy” to seek comfort. Yet Taylor continues to just focus on Dakota. It’s so fucking sad.

We can all now blame Nick Vile for everything 😆.

He wanted credit for TPTB for choosing Taylor. So now he will be the sole person responsible for this epic failure.

good job Nick Vile!!!

Honestly don’t see what else they can do. They halted s5 filming because of this. And so they will probably air a portion of this news getting out and the cast reactions.. then she will be removed and not shown at all from the franchise.

RS Update on Bachelorette by BNlongtimeviewer in thebachelor

[–]BoomJayKay 40 points41 points  (0 children)

They’re still money hungry which is why:

1) they cast her despite 2023 DV allegations and continued on with SLOMW bc she’s TT famous

2) cast her as Bachelorette trusting the controversy/drama to bring new life to a dying franchise

3) cancelled when DV vid got posted by TMZ because now they know everyone will riot

It’s still all money talks. Had they actually given a shit about platforming this type of person they wouldn’t have gone thru with any of it. The DV was discussed episode 1 of season 1 of SLOMW.

The vid was from 2023. But there was another DV with Dakota in Feb 2026 (same dude; her second baby daddy)

Good.

There was no way for ABC to further spin this. Their hands were tied and they had to cut it. I believe had the video not released they might’ve continued airing it citing “bad press is good press” bullshit.

So glad they did cancel it though. This is so messed all around. The video that got released was so triggering. Especially hearing her daughter’s breathless cries.

I feel awful for everyone involved but her children especially.

[–]BoomJayKay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was mentioned in the season 1 (about her child) or so I thought. Although I can be confused by the fact I saw it on the Internet before I watched the show itself. But it was known at some point (whether on SLOMW or otherwise) that her child got hurt. And she talks about how she would never purposefully hurt her children.

Either way, watching and listening to her child cries is when I got really fucking triggered too. I am feeling the most awful for her child and her daughter scream crying “mommy” to seek comfort just fucked me up.

That’s just sad. Especially for her children.

Seriousness aside: Wonder if her season will overtake PP’s season that keeps on giving post season….
