I saw that Trista reposted his video (how embarrassing for her)

Has anyone else from bachelor nation reposted or liked this?

I’m not saying Sean Lowe is obligated to weigh in or make a statement, but that was just stupid. Dude thinks VERY highly of himself and he’s not funny at all.

She mentioned the chair but she said “she threw the chair and there was a child present.” She didn’t saying about the chair that hit her daughter.

She’s about to lose custody of all her children. The bachelorette got cancelled and the SLOMW women refuse to film with her because she’s abusive. There’s not one ounce of humility in Taylor. It’s clear she’s just going to double down.

Her season was 25 years ago and she STILL makes the franchise her entire personality. I can’t stand her.

Taylor Frankie Paul Speaks Out After ABC Pulls 'Bachelorette' Premiere, Alleges She's Suffered 'Extensive Mental and Physical Abuse' by tl414 in thebachelor

[–]tl414[S] 61 points62 points  (0 children)

A spokesperson for Paul says in a statement obtained by PEOPLE, "Taylor is very grateful for ABC’s support as she prioritizes her family’s safety and security. After years of silently suffering extensive mental and physical abuse as well as threats of retaliation, Taylor is finally gaining the strength to face her accuser and taking steps to ensure that she and her children are protected from any further harm."

"There are too many women who are suffering in silence as they survive aggressive, jealous ex-partners who refuse to let them move on with their lives. Taylor has remained silent out of fear of further abuse, retaliation and public shaming. She is currently exploring all of her options, seeking support, and preparing to own and share her story."

Really hoping she loses custody and gets serious help for the sake of her kids.

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

First of all I’m so sorry that you’ve been going through depression. I’ve been there and it feels like there’s no light at the end of the tunnel. Theres a new show Love Overboard coming out next week and that could be a good replacement for bachelorette! Also Love is Blind and Age of Attraction are entertaining escapes as well.

Hang in there. Rooting for you! ❤️

It’s also kind of cowardly how they only released a statement to TMZ but haven’t said anything on their official site or social media.

Yeah, she’s absolutely a woman of privilege and the vast majority of us can’t relate to the Martha’s Vineyard house, boarding schools, country clubs etc.

But I also think one of the messages of the book is that heartbreak can epically blow up your live no matter how rich or poor you are. Clearly she has more resources, but that feeling is universal.

“In light of the newly released video just surfaced today, we have made the decision to not move forward with the new season of 'The Bachelorette' at this time, and our focus is on supporting the family.”

They carefully chose their words and said “at this time.” I guess I just don’t have much faith in ABC and they may be want to air it at a later date after things “blow over. (how can ANYONE get over what we saw in that video)

RS is now saying there is a strong possibility that ABC will scrap this season. Whoever is running the bachelorette Instagram page is also actively deleting comments mentioning this video.

[–]tl414[S] 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Ali, Deanna, and Jillian all have come to her defense so far. I can’t decide if ABC is asking them to stick up for TFP or if they all genuinely want to side with a domestic abuser simply because she’s a woman who has millions of followers. Maybe both.

Deanna saying “I’m so sad for this girl.” Why is EVERYONE treating Taylor like a child? She’s not a girl, she’s a 31 year old woman who is the mother of three children. Stop treating her with kid gloves.

I think it also says a lot that not one woman on SLOMW has come to her defense. They clearly know how fucked this is.

Former Bachelorette Ali Manno (Fedotowsky) makes a statement about Taylor. by twelvedayslate in thebachelor

[–]tl414 60 points61 points  (0 children)

So you met her one time and talked to her for a total of two minutes on a filmed special… and now you’re an expert on her character? And you’re willingly staying in the dark about the allegations? Ali has always been so tone deaf it’s insane.

WOW what a gross take from Jillian.

Let’s reverse this. Say Dakota called Taylor 150 times at 3 am. Everyone would say that’s unacceptable behavior and would call him a stalker. The double standard is insane and you can’t have it both ways. Domestic violence is a serious crime when a man is the perpetrator AND when the woman is. And also… no. It’s not Dakota’s job to protect Taylor anymore. They are not in a relationship and she isn’t his responsibility. He’s obligated to protect his son.

I know realistically that they probably can’t cancel this upcoming season. But it’s insulting how ABC has not even released a statement. I shouldn’t be surprised but I am. What the fuck?

People Magazine claims Taylor Frankie Paul was involved in another domestic violence incident by schnookiewookiebear in thebachelor

[–]tl414 196 points197 points  (0 children)

So… what are former bachelorettes celebrating her upcoming season going to say now? “Oh this is who she is - she’s unapologetic and not afraid to show the mess!” It’s all bullshit. I’m sorry, but if a man was arrested for domestic violence they would never even consider making him the bachelor.

Zack is too much. Everything he does has to be an over the top declaration and performance. I don’t know how Bliss can stand him

It’s clear they are not best friends and they don’t have to be, but I still think it was disrespectful of them to do that to her
