Fans were shocked when ABC abruptly canceled the 22nd season of The Bachelorette just days before its premiere. After a disturbing video of this year’s lead, Taylor Frankie Paul, surfaced online, the network expressed surprise and quickly pulled the plug. In a post on X, Jillian Anderson, a former contestant on The Bachelor, highlighted ABC’s rigorous background checks, implying the network may have known about Paul’s past before casting her. Now, some are raising questions about why the show moved forward despite those warning signs.
