ABC has scrubbed the upcoming season of The Bachelorette, starring Taylor Frankie Paul, citing video from 2023 of an altercation between Paul and her ex-boyfriend, Dakota Mortensen. TMZ published the video last week.
Culture critics Kathryn VanArendonk and Kat Tenbarge join Elamin Abdelmahmoud to discuss how reality television exploits domestic violence, and whether the show’s decision to cast Paul will cost them the franchise.
