00:00We've all heard the news Taylor Frankie Paul's season of The Bachelorette has been scrapped
00:04amid domestic violence allegations and a resurfaced video from the night of her 2023
00:08arrest. But if you ask me, I think Disney should have the same energy with Dad Talk's upcoming
00:15appearance on Vanderpump Villa that they've had with Taylor's season of The Bachelorette,
00:19and I'll tell you why. It's no secret that Taylor messed up in that video and there's
00:23no excusing her behavior, but I will say that police body cam footage from that fateful night
00:29was literally the foundation of the secret lives of Mormon wives and shown in the first ever episode
00:35over a year ago. Executives knew this and they still gave her The Bachelorette gig anyway.
00:40Taylor responded to the news of the cancellation by accusing Dakota of inflicting extensive mental
00:45and physical abuse, as well as threats of retaliation over the years. Their February
00:50dispute that got Mormon wives production put on pause is also under investigation as both parties
00:56have made allegations of physical abuse against the other. Therefore, if ABC is going to cancel
01:01The Bachelorette, who needs to do some serious rethinking about Dad Talk's episodes of Vanderpump
01:06Villa season three, which Dakota will be a part of? For four seasons of Mormon wives, Hulu has given
01:12Dakota's emotional toxicity a platform. We've seen him lie, cheat, and manipulate Taylor for years,
01:18and while he's somehow able to charm his way back into her bed with his empty promises,
01:22he always screws it up somehow, whether it's by sleeping with someone adjacent to Taylor's circle
01:27or having some kind of weird sexting relationship with one of her mom's friends. And Dakota's not
01:32even the only problem. Season one, Zach berated Jen and Rage Tex for going to Chippendales with her
01:37friends. Jesse has accused Jordan of emotional abuse and blackmailing, and while Chase is certainly
01:43becoming a fan favorite on the internet, even he was arrested for an alleged DUI a few months ago.
01:48My point is, if a three-year-old video that everyone already knew about and Taylor has since confessed
01:53to, discussed in detail on podcasts, on the show, whatever it may be, can cost her a season of The
01:59Bachelorette, then the other party at play, who Taylor has also accused of physical and emotional
02:05abuse, should be given the same treatment. Let us know your thoughts in the comment section,
