Taylor Frankie Paul, The Bachelorette is Cancelled & Why We Never Blame the Right Person

March 23, 2026 • Chelsea Turano & Dr. Lindsay Regehr

0:00 | 37:24

Taylor Frankie Paul was supposed to be the Bachelorette. Then her baby daddy released a two-year-old video to TMZ right before premiere and blew up her life, her career, and apparently the entire Bachelor franchise with it.

We talk about why Dakota is the villain nobody's holding accountable, why the internet keeps punishing the woman, and why ABC might actually be the most culpable party in this whole mess.

Also: Chelsea's roommate threatened to throw her off the balcony, Lindsay had a win at work, and we discuss the celibacy scale (it's not what you think).

Two dumb girls. Sometimes smart. Always hilarious.

****This episode touches on domestic violence in real life and in the headlines. If anything we said hit close to home, you're not alone.
