Taylor Frankie Paul, who was set to star in the TV show, had pleaded guilty to aggravated assault after an encounter with her partner in 2023.
An upcoming season of “The Bachelorette” was pulled on Thursday, a spokesperson for Disney said, after a video of its star attacking the father of one of her children was leaked.
Taylor Frankie Paul, a reality star who was to lead the new season slated to premiere on Sunday, has been under scrutiny in recent days after it emerged that she was facing a domestic violence investigation, years after pleading guilty to aggravated assault in a separate encounter.
Disney’s ABC, which broadcasts “The Bachelorette,” had appeared to be committed to continuing its plans to air the show. But on Thursday, TMZ published leaked footage of a physical altercation from 2023 in which Ms. Paul, who rose to fame in the reality series “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives,” is shown putting her partner in a headlock and throwing metal chairs at him.
