Taylor Frankie Paul Takes Suitor to NFL Game During Bachelorette Date
**Bachelorette Star Taylor Frankie Paul's Life Off Camera Takes Center Stage**
In a dramatic turn of events, ABC has officially canceled Season 22 of "The Bachelorette" just hours after TMZ released a video showing Taylor Frankie Paul physically assaulting her baby daddy, Dakota Mortensen, in the presence of her 5-year-old daughter in 2023. The incident led to her assault arrest. Meanwhile, fans of the reality show are getting a glimpse into a 1-on-1 date Paul had with a suitor, Shane, during filming in November 2025.
The date took place at a Las Vegas Raiders vs. Dallas Cowboys game at Allegiant Stadium. **Snapshots obtained by TMZ** show Paul and Shane, who were both wearing customized "T" varsity jackets, getting into the spirit of the event. They can be seen trying their hand at cheerleading moves, indicating a lighthearted and playful atmosphere. The outing appears to be a fun moment in the midst of Paul's tumultuous relationship with Mortensen.
The relationship between Paul and Mortensen has been marred by allegations of abuse and violence. In a recent development, TMZ reported that the couple got into wild back-to-back fights just last month, with Paul allegedly choking Mortensen and scratching his neck. Paul has maintained that she is not the aggressor in the relationship, stating that she will share her side of the story. A spokesperson for Paul added that she has been "silently suffering extensive mental and physical abuse as well as threats of retaliation" and is now taking steps to protect herself and her children.
Meanwhile, Mortensen has taken steps to protect himself, filing for a protective order against Paul at a Utah courthouse this week. Paul's ex-husband, Tate, was also present at the courthouse for a similar reason. The developments come as a surprise to fans of the reality show, who were expecting to see Paul's season unfold on television. Instead, the focus has shifted to her personal life and the allegations surrounding her relationship with Mortensen.
