ABC cancels upcoming season of ‘The Bachelorette’

(CNN, KYMA) - The upcoming season of "The Bachelorette" starring Taylor Frankie Paul has been canceled.

ABC says it decided to scrap the season after a 2023 video of Paul was made public Thursday morning. The footage shows Paul screaming and throwing things at her former boyfriend, Dakota Mortensen.

Paul also appears on Hulu reality series "The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives."

Her representative released a statement to Variety following the video's release, saying it "conveniently omits context."

CNN has not independently verified the video's authenticity.

Authorities in Paul's home state of Utah have confirmed she is the subject of a separate, ongoing domestic violence investigation.

"The Bachelorette" had been set to debut Sunday.
