"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."
"A video was released by TMZ earlier today showing an intense altercation between Paul and Mortensen from 2023 in which she is seen throwing chairs around her home with her eldest child present. That new evidence was the breaking point for Disney."
"Filming of season five of Paul's other series, TSLOMW, was paused after the allegations between Paul and her ex-boyfriend Dakota Mortensen came to light last week. Draper City police have since confirmed an investigation into the domestic-assault claims is currently ongoing."

Draper City police are investigating the domestic-assault claims. Filming of Paul's other series, The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, was also paused. Disney stated their focus is on supporting the family. Paul had appeared on Good Morning America the previous day promoting her Bachelorette season. The cancellation raises questions about the Bachelor franchise's future direction.
