And my situation is this, okay?
You knew she was a reality star when you signed her.
You can't have it both ways.
You can't have your cake and eat it too.
So ABC signs this woman who's from a reality show to come and revive The Bachelorette, which is a failing ship.
Okay, The Bachelorette has been a mess for years.
They hire her.
And because of this video, they've now lost tens of millions of dollars and have canceled the entire season.
But they knew, they absolutely knew that Taylor Frankie Paul had this in her because here's a video from a few years earlier where she was arrested, right?
So as you can see, Taylor Frankie Paul allegedly has a history of being a hot mess.
And that has to be part of the calculation of why ABC signed her.
Because The Bachelorette, that whole entire series, really has some competition now.
You've got other shows like Love Island and other sort of trashy dating shows.
I don't even understand why you have to be this great, morally upstanding person to be on The Bachelorette.
Isn't the point of the show...
that you're supposed to make out with guys in hot tubs and drink and party and have fun.
I mean, a woman in a house with, what, 20, 30 guys going room to room for months and months while cameras roll with no privacy, and now we're supposed to expect her to be some upstanding, great person with a clean-cut background?
You're just not going to find that.
And so what I would say to ABC and Disney is this β
Why don't you guys just run the season with a disclaimer, okay?
