Former “Bachelor” star Grant Ellis is backing ABC’s decision to cancel Taylor Frankie Paul’s season of The Bachelorette, saying the network made the right call in taking a stand against domestic violence.
Ellis spoke to reporters in Beverly Hills, addressing the controversy after footage surfaced showing Taylor in a violent altercation with her baby’s father. According to him, if ABC had allowed the show to air, it could have sent the wrong message about the network’s stance on domestic abuse.
The cancellation, set to premiere this past Sunday, has caused a ripple effect across the franchise. Plans for the next “Bachelor” are now uncertain, as ABC had considered selecting one of the finalists from Taylor’s season.
Ellis remains optimistic that the show will continue, expressing hope that Taylor’s personal drama doesn’t harm the Bachelorette brand. For him, however, the biggest losers in this situation are the fans, who were eagerly awaiting the new season.#newsafro_
