That year, Paul entered a plea of abeyance to a felony aggravated assault charge, allowing the court to put the case on hold as long as she complies with the court&#8217;s abeyance agreement.<\/p>\n<p><em>Contributing: KiMi Robinson, USA TODAY<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/story\/entertainment\/tv\/2026\/04\/23\/taylor-frankie-pauls-the-bachelorette-season\/89759591007\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ABC cancels Taylor Frankie Paul&#8217;s &#8216;Bachelorette&#8217; season Taylor Frankie Paul\u2019s season of \u201cThe Bachelorette\u201d was canceled after a &#8220;domestic assault investigation&#8221; was revealed by Utah police. &#8220;The Bachelorette&#8221; fans want to know if Taylor Frankie Paul&#8216;s season will ever reach the masses, and one Disney executive is offering insight into ABC&#8217;s plans for the lost &#8230; <a title=\"ABC executive gives update on Taylor Frankie Paul&#8217;s &#8216;The Bachelorette&#8217;\" class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.jubi24.com\/?p=28494\" aria-label=\"Read more about ABC executive gives update on Taylor Frankie Paul&#8217;s &#8216;The Bachelorette&#8217;\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":28495,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-28494","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.jubi24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/ABC-executive-gives-update-on-Taylor-Frankie-Pauls-The-Bachelorette.JPG","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.jubi24.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28494","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.jubi24.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.jubi24.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.jubi24.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.jubi24.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=28494"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.jubi24.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28494\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":28496,"href":"https:\/\/www.jubi24.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28494\/revisions\/28496"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.jubi24.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/28495"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.jubi24.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=28494"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.jubi24.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=28494"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.jubi24.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=28494"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
