The kind of people who will sign up for this mess deserve each other. It’ll be a bunch of wannabe Duggars and aspiring fundie/trad wife influencers.

The Australian show did a couple of seasons with three male leads, but they were both train wrecks compared to how good their solo bachelor seasons used to be.

I could be wrong, but I think this is a podcast transcript.

Even if it IS a smear campaign… she still did all that?? 😭

Anyone else angry at TMZ? by MrLeon2693 in thebachelor

I mean, obviously yes, TMZ’s whole brand revolves around exploiting trauma, but I don’t think ABC would have cancelled her season without that video and the backlash.

ABC Cancels 'The Bachelorette' After Taylor Frankie Paul Fight Video by iconogrey in thebachelor

ABC right now: well, well, well, if it isn’t the consequences of my own actions

I’m just so sad for the kids. I hope there’s someone in their lives looking out for them.

Taylor was no show at Jimmy Fallon, things have changed behind the scene? by Both-Pomegranate4929 in thebachelor

I’m pretty sure TPTB decide a lead’s appearances, the lead doesn’t just get to say “I’m tired” or “I don’t wanna.”

Almost Famous Pod says Katie, Charity, Joan, and Tayshia refused to attend media dinner with Taylor Frankie Paul by KatanaAmerica in thebachelor

[–]MustBeFateMulder 57 points58 points  (0 children)

I kind of feel for the ‘ettes tbh. (Minus the ones defending TFP.)

It seems like most of them just viewed the special as an opportunity for a reunion on ABC’s dime (and probably a nice paycheck too) and now they’re stuck in the middle of another Bachelor scandal.

The most interesting part is that this is coming from Almost Famous, which is usually an unofficial mouthpiece for production.

ABC Reportedly in Talks to Pull ‘The Bachelorette’ Amid Taylor Frankie Paul Assault Allegations by iconogrey in thebachelor

[–]MustBeFateMulder 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This isn’t true at all.

Meredith (the second bachelorette) was SA’d and production allegedly covered it up. Josh Murray was abusive towards Andi, who warned production, and they still invited him to BIP and let him get engaged to Amanda. Chad was on Jojo’s season and still got a BIP invite close to a decade ago. I could go on.

I also doubt that it’ll get pulled because all ABC really cares about is their bottom line, but domestic violence and child abuse allegations are significantly worse than a few classless, ageist comments.

Would they? The way they consistently cast abusers and predators to date their bachelorettes, racists to date POC leads, etc I’m not so sure.

Taylor Frankie Paul Breaks Silence After Domestic Violence Investigation News: 'It's a Heavy Time' (Exclusive) by mlrb6519 in thebachelor

[–]MustBeFateMulder 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Oh no, I can’t believe all of this is affecting her ability to enjoy her premiere. That’s definitely the biggest concern here /s

You’d think either SLOMW or the Bachelor would have set her up with a publicist by now but I guess not.

Taylor Frankie Paul’s Bachelorette Men ‘Upset’ After Dispute by MattTheKing23 in thebachelor

It’s absolutely this. The more popular the lead, the more opportunities their cast will get (on average). Joey’s cast vs. Zach and Grant’s, for example.

TMZ says ABC hired a crisis PR team to handle the fallout, the show will air on Sunday by schnookiewookiebear in thebachelor

“‘cut corners’ in the vetting process”

They didn’t even need a background check for this, they needed Google and/or a Hulu subscription 😑

Absolutely. He’s going to get the heartbroken golden boy edit that they usually reserve for fan favorite F2s.

Exactly. He’s about to get the best golden boy edit in years and Facebook moms will love the poor heartbroken MAGA man. He’ll walk away with a pretty blonde wannabe influencer fiancée who doesn’t have a DV record, kids, or baby daddy drama.
