**Taylor Frankie Paul's Bachelorette Season Canceled Amid Domestic Incident** Taylor Frankie Paul's season of _The Bachelorette_ was officially canceled on March 19 after reports of a domestic incident with her ex-boyfriend, Dakota Mortensen, surfaced on March 16. The cancellation occurred just three days before the highly anticipated season was set to premiere on Sunday, March 22, following the release of footage showing a 2023 altercation between Taylor and Dakota. According to spoilers from Reality Steve, which were posted on March 17, Doug Mason reportedly won the unaired season and even proposed to Taylor. Doug's supportive message to Taylor, which he originally posted on his Instagram Stories, read: "Yo, good morning everybody. In light of everything that's happened, I'm just sending out prayers to Taylor because that was her moment and her moment was blocked." Taylor reacted to Doug's message by commenting, "Aw my heart goes out to him ❤️‍🩹 so sweet." Doug had expressed his support for Taylor by saying, "So all we can do right now is be hopeful. And I'm headed off to run to watch the sunrise. Hope you guys have a great day, let's stay positive and show nothing but support for people in need. Cheers." The timing of Doug's message is interesting, considering he and Taylor reportedly broke up a month after their engagement, which occurred after he won her season of _The Bachelorette_. Photos published by _The Sun_ on March 14 showed the couple reunited in Los Angeles, with speculation suggesting they may have been filming additional scenes for the show. A TikTok posted by Taylor soon after appears to show Doug's arm. A spokesperson released statements on Taylor's behalf to several outlets, stating that she is "very grateful for ABC's support as she prioritizes her family's safety and security." The spokesperson added that Taylor has been "silently suffering extensive mental and physical abuse as well as threats of retaliation" from her ex-boyfriend and is now "gaining the strength to face her accuser and taking steps to ensure that she and her children are protected from any further harm."
