Sadly, The Bachelorette Season 22 was canceled before a single rose was handed out. Even though ABC attempted to stand behind Taylor Frankie Paul during her most recent domestic abuse allegations, enough is enough.
While we’ll never see any of Taylor’s bachelors receive a rose from her, there’s still a chance that some of them could be chosen for Bachelor in Paradise.
Apparently, ABC held an emergency virtual meeting yesterday. All 22 doomed Bachelorette contestants were invited to a Zoom meeting, where production offered up consolation prizes.
Taylor Frankie Paul’s Bachelorette season was axed by ABC
According to TMZ, all the Bachelorette men signed one-year contracts and were cautioned not to speak to the media while under contract. During the meeting, they were reminded of this contract and strongly warned to follow network guidelines. Reportedly, multiple attorneys were present to clarify any legal questions.
The meeting was framed as a “seminar” and focused on post-cancelation support for the thwarted TV stars. An “after-care team” was set up to assist the former contestants.
Additionally, ABC announced during the meeting that some of the men would be considered for Bachelor in Paradise. It wasn’t immediately clear how many of the 22 contestants would get a second chance at love, following Taylor’s “betrayal.”
Bachelor Nation was shocked and surprised when ABC chose Taylor to be the next Bachelorette in September 2025. Anyone who’s watched The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives knows about Taylor’s messy love life.
Her marriage ended when she was involved in the MomTok Swinging Scandal.
Originally set to premiere on Sunday, March 22, this season of The Bachelorette will stay in the can, for now anyway.
