00:00:10.020 what up guys welcome to my reaction series uh today bachelor nation is taking over the news

00:00:16.380 because the woman um that was chosen to be this year's bachelorette was convicted of domestic 1.00

00:00:21.820 violence and the video actually got leaked to the public and just imagine if that happened to a man

00:00:28.920 like a man was throwing chairs and beating up on a woman,

00:00:33.000 he would be canceled immediately.

00:00:35.100 He would be, there's no way he would get to be the lead of a TV show,

00:00:39.700 but it just shows when women act badly, there's no consequence. 1.00

00:00:42.120 Ricky Paul was just here a few days ago promoting the new season,

00:00:44.920 which was supposed to premiere this coming Sunday.

00:00:47.240 But this morning, after a disturbing video surfaced,

00:00:50.060 showing the star involved in a violent domestic altercation,

00:00:52.900 ABC has made the decision to pull the season of The Bachelorette altogether.

00:00:56.640 this morning abc pulling the new season of the bachelorette which was set to premiere this sunday

00:01:01.860 starring the secret lives of mormon wives taylor frankie paul the book of more men i mean religion

00:01:20.760 and posted by tmz thursday shows paul grappling with mortensen putting him in a headlock and

00:01:26.180 kicking him later throwing multiple metal bar stools in his direction tmz pointing out where

00:01:32.200 the reality star's then five-year-old daughter was allegedly sitting just feet away the child

00:01:37.960 later heard crying mortensen claiming the child was hit by one of those chairs in a statement a

00:01:43.900 spokesperson for disney entertainment television abc's parent company saying that quote in light

00:01:49.460 of the newly released video just surfaced today we have made the decision not to move forward with

00:01:54.700 the new season of the bachelorette app the crazy thing is all these court records were available

00:01:59.100 like she had an open domestic violence case against her it's time and our focus is on

00:02:05.200 supporting the family paul was arrested after that fight eventually pleading guilty to aggravated

00:02:10.920 assault at this time you're gonna be placed under arrest for domestic violence the fallout from

00:02:28.660 stayed in our relationship and i think we wanted it to be honest it might not be the smartest

00:02:32.660 decision in our situation it wasn't the hit hulu series that helped catapult paul to fame

00:02:38.980 over the course of four seasons leading to her casting on the bachelorette but in recent days

00:02:44.820 reports surfaced of a new domestic violence investigation involving paul and mortensen

00:02:50.020 who share a two-year-old son draper utah police telling people both parties were contacted in

00:02:55.460 late february later confirming to abc news that the 2023 video posted by tmz is not connected to

00:03:02.740 the new case prior to the videos released to the public paul speaking to gma it's been a heavy time

00:03:10.340 uh to see the headlines especially during this time of the bachelorette being released and it's

00:03:15.300 it's supposed to be a really exciting time. I'm a person that will always speak my truth and I'm,

00:03:21.080 you know, that's what I'm known for. And so when the time is right, I will be.

00:03:24.880 In a new statement following Thursday's decision, a spokesperson for Paul saying

00:05:53.080 God.

00:05:53.700 Yeah, I do.

00:05:54.700 I freaking love them to death.

00:05:56.140 I do.

00:05:56.700 No, yeah.

00:05:57.500 I don't care.

00:05:58.180 Look what you're doing to me. 1.00

00:05:59.100 Shut up. 1.00

00:05:59.120 Fuck. 1.00

00:05:59.660 No, nobody deserves it. 1.00

00:06:01.240 You're not okay.

00:06:02.140 You're drunk.

00:06:04.420 Okay, so this is her talking about the incident.

00:06:07.720 Call me down.

00:06:08.760 And I was just like.

00:06:09.180 Remember, this is all like.

00:06:11.260 She admitted to this.

00:06:12.540 and they still gave her the lead role and they she still had 20 men fighting to date her it's

00:06:20.920 not incredible throwing everything i was so angry and i was like i mean as we all know like i was

00:06:26.040 trying to attack him and i assaulted him and i i put like you know i took it all out on him

00:06:34.240 and so like you physically assaulted him yeah and i did get like i got charged with that

00:06:39.680 uh right so they came investigated and then they took you to jail yeah because there's enough

00:06:45.360 evidence there that i was like the aggressor damn yeah and i was like i i yeah i was and so 0.65

00:06:53.040 and he was trying to call me down okay um and i yeah so she admits it right but what's incredible

00:06:59.400 um is women's reaction to this so i've seen mixed i've seen some women be like yeah that's too far 1.00

00:07:04.840 but it's actually incredible that there's still women defending her like it's like she was throwing 0.97

00:07:09.660 a chair. Ricky Paul is just proving that we treat it fundamentally differently when a woman is

00:07:13.560 abusive versus a man. Do you realize that in 2023 she threw a chair at Dakota? It hit her child.

00:07:19.420 She had a series of charges against her and she ended up pleading guilty to aggravated assault.

00:07:25.460 Aggravated assault in 2023. And she spent a night in jail and then has to do like, I don't know, 0.93

00:07:28.980 a few other things. If a man was charged with aggravated assault against his wife and their

00:07:34.320 child was hit by a chair he would never be the bachelor ever like society would have canceled

00:07:41.900 him we would have been like don't put this man on tv this man's disgusting but but we put her 0.99

00:07:46.700 she's pretty i posted last night about how she's in another domestic violence altercation and

00:07:50.840 the investigation is open with draper city and right after i posted it i went to bed and i was

00:07:54.840 like i feel like i'm making light of domestic abuse like it's just like oh something that

00:08:00.400 taylor's involved in again i can confidently tell you that i've been married for 12 years

00:08:04.040 and neither my partner or i have ever called the cops because of the level that our fight has

00:08:08.700 gotten to that just never happened like that takes a specific kind of person or people okay

00:08:14.900 and we're all just like oh it's taylor being taylor no it's not like people are actually

00:08:20.960 being harmed here and i don't know if it's her or him i don't care the fact is that together they

00:08:26.000 are unsafe and unstable all right let's see what's next okay you know it's bad when women aren't even 1.00

00:08:33.480 defending her where they're like okay we're this is too far lady but we cannot hate men so much

00:08:39.100 that we are now excusing what taylor frankie paul did he was reactive abuse he was recording her he

00:08:44.820 pushed i don't think she's in the right this is the comments i'm just confused why abc cast her

00:08:48.680 and then acted affronted when the video came out they knew this happened there's multiple sure to 0.97

00:08:52.500 do that and that's why he had his phone out i don't give a shit i don't care what he did or 0.98

00:08:56.960 what he said you don't throw chairs when your kid is two feet away from me stop making excuses for 0.98

00:09:02.380 what she did unpopular opinion but we cannot hate men so much that we are now excusing this one

00:09:07.720 it's a good time to remind people that abuse is still abuse even if it's reactive um and that if

00:09:14.000 it happens around kids love to hear the full story and it'll all come out so she's saying

00:09:18.940 she's trying to say that the other girl that this is reactive that person shouldn't be allowed to

00:09:24.460 be around their kids until they've gotten help and that that was not an isolated incident and

00:09:30.320 the reason it's coming up in court filings is because there was an additional incident like

00:09:34.700 a few weeks ago okay let's see this one domestic violence victim for five years i've had things

00:09:42.460 thrown at me i've been physically strangled and never once did i hurt my children in the process

00:09:47.040 narrative going around about taylor frankie paul right now is extremely dangerous and frankly

00:09:50.920 concerning to me for all the women who are defending a mother who abused her own child

00:09:56.160 and it makes me concerned for what they've done to their children behind closed doors with the

00:10:00.120 way that they're defending her and saying reactionary abuse isn't the same as regular

00:10:03.940 abuse you are in a tense high stress domestic dispute situation as a mother my first instinct

00:10:09.200 was always to protect my children and remove them from the situation even if five seconds before he

00:10:15.100 did the exact same thing to her they are now both mutually abusing each other and the child

00:10:20.980 is caught in the crossfires and they should be held accountable for that both of them but she's

00:10:27.200 the actual mother of this child at this time he was simply a boyfriend they didn't even have kids

00:10:31.460 together consider myself a domestic violence oh my gosh you got her pregnant after that violence 0.99

00:10:35.500 advocate because i hot women this is what i mean this is why women hate hot women because hot women 0.99

00:10:40.740 literally get away with murder it is like incredible that they will still get attention

00:10:44.800 from like attractive men like just because they're good looking and the things they still get it's

00:10:51.280 like as a mid right i've been friends with beautiful women and it's like they'll cheat 1.00

00:10:55.040 on their boyfriend they'll just take him back it's it's like no consequences ever and men always say

00:11:01.180 it's not about looks but it's like do you know what you guys only came to that conclusion after

00:11:06.960 you found out it's not about looks like after you got burned a few times by dating the hot women

00:11:12.160 how many mids did you turn down while dating the hot women so it's like that's like what the

00:11:16.880 conclusion you come to later in life not when you're young and full of life you know like

00:11:22.160 situation and i've talked to hundreds if not thousands of women who have also experienced it 0.87

00:11:27.840 and you know what is the most frustrating thing as a domestic violence victim is when someone looks

00:11:33.120 at you and said well why would he do that what did you do to provoke him to make him act so crazy

00:11:37.680 like that and that's exactly what y'all are saying about taylor here in this situation well what did

00:11:42.720 he do to provoke her to make her react that way like to point out that i've always believed there's

00:11:47.840 a difference when you have a female aggressor versus a male aggressor and the reason being

00:11:52.400 my husband when we are play fighting he can pin me down in three seconds flat and i'm literally

00:11:57.920 helpless ultimately men are far more physically capable of hurting women but the difference we

00:12:04.000 have in this situation is the child involved which automatically makes me lose all sympathy for her

00:12:10.880 because children are where i draw the line and it always will don't mistake all right let's see what's

00:12:16.000 next the bachelorette does not air tomorrow taylor frinky paul season what that means is oppression

00:12:21.280 is still very real and still very much in our face because oh my gosh they said chris brown never

00:12:25.840 stop touring his songs never stop playing we are not holding men to the same standard if abc is

00:12:31.260 going to cancel the season of the bachelorette because of the video of her coming out being 0.84

00:12:35.800 abusive towards her ex which in no way am i condoning that that is terrible and she's

00:12:39.740 disgusting for those actions um regardless if he was also abusing her or not they both are toxic

00:12:45.880 and terrible people in their own regard beside the point if they cancel her season because of 0.96

00:12:50.560 this video yet there's i'm fairly sure this chris brown situation put a major stint in his career

00:12:56.660 and she was beating him to all players walking on the field making multi-million dollars a year

00:13:00.860 that have been arrested for sexually assaulting women abusing their wives and animals and we're

00:13:06.900 going to watch them on a field then we are women are still very much oppressed long story short if 1.00

00:13:11.560 all right guys now they're saying that because they didn't air the bachelorette

00:13:17.020 that women are, I mean, women are incredible just how they can make themselves victims in 1.00

00:13:22.100 every situation. All right, guys, let me know what you think of the comments. I love you guys.

00:13:26.800 Thanks for watching. Like the video and I will talk to you next time.
