Taylor Frankie Paul will reportedly receive her full salary for her season of ‘The Bachelorette’, despite the series being canceled.
According to a recent report by TMZ, a source close to the matter claimed Taylor’s contract guaranteed payment for the work she had already completed. Taylor had finished filming the entire season and was also present in most of the promotional tour before the show was removed from the schedule.
The exact salary of Taylor has not yet been revealed, though insiders claim it falls in the low-to-mid six figures. The payment will reportedly be covered by Warner Bros. Discovery, which produces the series.
It is pertinent to mention that ‘Bachelorette’ season 22 was pulled by The Walt Disney Company just days before its premiere was scheduled. The decision came after a past video of Taylor linked to her 2023 domestic violence incident got leaked. In the clip, Taylor was attacking her ex, Dakota Mortensen, with chairs.
A Disney Entertainment Television spokesperson released a statement that reads, “In light of the newly released video just surfaced today, we have made the decision to not move forward with the new season of The Bachelorette at this time, and our focus is on supporting the family.”
