As news continues to surface about Taylor Frankie Paul\u2019s recent alleged domestic assault incident, a new report claimed that ABC is in talks to pull the upcoming season of The Bachelorette<\/a> featuring the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives<\/a> star, 31, as the lead.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis has turned into a full-blown crisis,\u201d a source told Rob Shuter in a story published on the gossip columnist\u2019s Naughty But Nice<\/a> Substack on Tuesday, March 17. \u201cThere are serious conversations happening about whether the show can move forward as planned. When sponsors start running, networks panic, and that\u2019s exactly what\u2019s happening here.\u201d<\/p>\n
