00:00What are you doing?
00:01Oh, I'm picking up notes of cherry, berry, maybe tropical fruit.
00:08Chuck, it's fruity rainbow from 5-Hour Energy.
00:11Oh, yes. Refined.
00:23Alright, as we move on to celebrity dirt, some shocking news from ABC.
00:27They pulled the plug on The Bachelorette.
00:31It was set to premiere Sunday.
00:33They've canceled it.
00:35What?
00:35The star is involved in a big scandal.
00:39Most people won't know this lady.
00:41We talked about her briefly earlier this week.
00:43She's on Mormon, the Housewives of Mormon, whatever.
00:47Oh, okay.
00:48It's a Mormon show.
00:51She has been seen on video attacking her partner.
00:55Well, the allegation surfaced.
00:57Then TMZ got their hands on the video.
00:59Oh.
01:00Once TMZ posted the video, ABC said, it's canceled.
01:04Damn.
01:05Huge news.
01:07This is going to cost them millions and millions of dollars.
01:09Here's a bit of the video of her attacking her then partner.
01:17Yeah.
01:17You got it?
01:18Yeah, look at you.
01:19Look, look.
01:21This is hitting home.
01:22Oh, God.
01:23This is cold.
01:24Oh, yeah.
01:24This is cold.
01:24This is cold abuse.
01:26Yeah.
01:32See, Taylor, this is all you do.
01:34It's the only thing you know how to do is hurt me.
01:37Oh, no.
01:38So that's a bit of the video there that was released.
01:40And here is the fallout because of that.
01:42In the room.
01:42Court records say that Taylor Frankie Paul hit her ex multiple times.
01:46This was back in 2023.
01:47And threw some things at him, like household objects, including metal chairs.
01:52Paul was charged with assault, criminal mischief and domestic violence in the presence of a child that year and pleaded
01:56guilty to aggravated assault.
01:58Now, in light of this new video that came out, ABC's parent company, Disney, says they will not move forward
02:03with the new season of The Bachelorette.
02:05They say the focus is on supporting the family.
02:07A spokesperson for Paul tells us she's grateful for ABC support as she prioritizes her family, saying she has suffered
02:13years of mental and physical abuse and now has the strength to face her, quote, accuser, as they put it.
02:19I want to bring in Liz Kreutz who's covering this one for us.
02:20And this has been.
02:21We covered it on the show yesterday.
02:23This has been bubbling.
02:24And now this really, I think, dramatic move for what is kind of a tentpole franchise for Disney and ABC.
02:31Yeah, Holly, this is a big, huge deal for ABC network.
02:34And this has been, I'm sure, a major PR crisis behind the scenes as they made this decision.
02:39This is a show that they have been promoting for months now.
02:42This is The Bachelorette, one of their flagship shows.
02:44And I think what particularly made them make this decision, it sounds like, is this video that just was released
02:50by TMZ.
02:51And even though this domestic violence incident is something that Taylor Frankie Paul has talked about now, it was actually
02:57a storyline on the first season of Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.
03:00Some of the new details that are coming out are what people are now seeing, including the video showing that
03:06her daughter was in the room as this was happening.
03:09So, yeah, the other show, The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, also in limbo due to her behavior.
03:14Hulu has paused production.
03:15They're right in the middle of filming season five right now, but they've stopped it.
03:20As for the cancellation of The Bachelorette, they say it's going to cost ABC upwards of $50 million.
03:26Because not only do they lose advertisers and, you know, they've already paid for this production.
03:32They've already produced most of the shows.
03:34Yeah.
03:35They also have tie-ins on this show.
03:37So if they go to Indonesia at this incredible resort, it's all bought and paid for.
03:44With the understanding it's going to get on TV.
03:47It's going to get airtime.
03:48So because it doesn't get airtime, they have to pay for everything they did on the show now.
03:53Holy crap.
03:54Helicopter rides, hot air balloons.
03:56Did the X release that to TMZ then?
03:59Is that how, like, so TMZ got the video.
04:01Did the X.
04:02I'm assuming.
04:04Or.
04:04A big FU, huh?
04:05A big final, like.
04:06Yeah.
04:07The coup de gras, really.
04:09Yeah.
04:09Yeah.
04:10I mean, who knows?
04:11He could have sent that to someone else and been like, look at what she did.
04:14I wouldn't be sending a lot of videos of me getting my butt kicked by a tiny little girl,
04:19but it can happen.
04:20Yeah.
04:21It can happen.
04:21I think he's also fighting to get sole custody of the kid.
04:24Yeah.
04:25So.
04:25That's the dad of her kid.
04:26Okay.
04:27So what you do is you just roll camera and you let her go.
04:30Like when it's a, I mean, it's, it's the oldest trick in the book, really.
04:34You know, that's like, Hey, I'm going to just hit record.
04:37And then, cause I could almost tell the way that he was being that it was like, it almost
04:46felt like a show on his end.
04:49But unfortunately for her, she was doing all the bad things.
04:52I mean, you pick up a metal stool and smash somebody.
04:54Well, and that's, I guess.
04:55So the, the kid was in the room and the kid got hit a little bit by the chair.
05:00Well, that's it.
05:01Right.
05:01Yep.
05:01So that made it even worse.
05:02It's on the ABC should have vetted better.
05:05They definitely should.
05:06And they knew going in.
05:07So this week she's been on all the talk shows promoting it.
05:10It's on, you know, Kelly and Mark, like she's been out there promoting the show.
05:15So this is right.
05:16Last minute.
05:17Yesterday.
05:17They pulled the plug.
05:18It's supposed to premiere Sunday.
05:20And the problem with that is this there's it's so ridiculous.
05:23I mean, if you watch it, I guess you love it.
05:25Bachelor and bachelorette.
05:27But what they do is whatever guy didn't get picked on this show.
05:31Exactly.
05:31Goes on to become the next bachelor.
05:33Yeah.
05:34So now they're asked because they'd already picked the guy who's not getting picked on
05:37this show to be the next bachelor.
05:39Oh, but the audience will have no idea who he is.
05:41So they're probably going to scrap that, too.
05:43Oh, my God.
05:44It's our chance.
05:46Chuck, you can be the next bachelor.
05:48Oh, yeah.
05:49Let's submit him in there.
05:52Chuck is the next bachelor.
05:54Hi.
05:54How are you?
06:00You take my rose.
06:07I can't even imagine how bad it would be.
06:10Oh, my God.
06:10I'm like fat.
06:11All the dates.
06:12I'm like, yeah, let's go swimming.
06:16Oh, Chuck.
06:17He's got to go to the bathroom.
06:18Oh, yeah.
06:19Diarrhea break on set.
06:20Diarrhea break.
06:21Listen, I know we're getting really romantic here, but I got to be honest with you for
06:26a second.
06:26I got to go diarrhea real quick.
06:31Hey, which one of you lovely ladies wants to shave my back today?
06:38Tonight, I'm a bachelor.
06:39If you love me, you'll shave me.
06:44Who wants to prune me?
06:48Your dates are metal detecting.
06:50Oh, yeah.
06:50I got a great idea for a really cool romantic date.
06:54We're going to hit the beach.
06:55Oh, my God.
06:55Where are we going?
06:57The beach.
06:58He's taking me to the beach.
06:59Yeah, we're going to lovely Fort Lauderdale where I can hopefully find someone's lost
07:05diamond ring tonight on The Bachelor.
07:08You're like, boop, boop.
07:08This is terrible.
07:09Boop, boop.
07:10How does this work?
07:13The next romantic date, painting miniature figurines together.
07:18If we just, no, keep your hands still and try to really paint that eyeball.
07:23Oh, no.
07:24That's terrible.
07:25You're really bad at this.
07:27Me too, though.
07:28On the next episode, picking out aquariums.
07:32Oh, look at this one.
07:33That's so heavy.
07:34You're going to have to help me carry it down my stairs.
07:37Don't drop it.
07:42Chuck, come on, man.
07:44It's right there waiting for you.
07:46Oh, my God.
07:46I know it could happen.
07:48This is your in.
07:49It is.
07:50They are in a real-
07:51All these ladies admiring you, adoring you.
07:53I would watch that show.
07:54I would watch it in a minute.
07:56They're in a real pickle.
07:56I'm only interested in the goth one.
07:59Give us a real-life bachelor.
08:02Oh, my God.
08:02Incredible.
08:03No ex-football player studs.
08:05No, real man.
08:06No cowboys working on the farm.
08:08A real, fatter, shorter guy.
08:10Chubby, divorced dads who are looking to get laid again.
08:15Not even.
08:16Hey, ladies.
08:18How are you?
08:20It's the first ever soft bachelor.
08:24There's one rule on this season of The Bachelor.
08:28No hard clothing.
08:32Everything is soft.
08:34Yeah.
08:35Will you take these leggings?
08:39I don't know what I'd give.
08:41Oh, my goodness.
08:41I don't want to give roses.
08:43I'd watch The Soft Bachelor.
08:44Oh, my God.
08:46Honestly, it could finally get us back in.
08:48Yeah.
08:49Yeah.
08:49I mean, they haven't done that, right?
08:51They always just go with...
08:53Didn't they have that one?
08:55I think The Bachelor Bob was...
08:56I mean, we had him on the show a couple times.
08:58He was like kind of the most normal-looking dude.
09:02Yes, I agree.
09:03And I feel like they were like,
09:04oh, yeah, that kind of worked.
09:07Kind of.
09:08Mm-hmm.
09:08But I think they just must have realized
09:11it's better to just go for the hottest people
09:13that they can get.
09:15That's what women want to see.
09:16Yeah, it's what women...
09:17It's what we want to see
09:18if we were going to somehow watch.
09:19Right.
09:20Yeah.
09:20We don't want the soft female bachelorette.
09:22No, I don't need the soft female.
09:26You know.
09:28No, thank you.
09:29You don't want a female me.
09:31That's an opportunity.
09:31You know?
09:32You don't want to follow that.
09:33No.
09:34You don't even want to follow me.
09:36It'd be so boring.
09:37Bye.
09:38Goodbye.
