"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,” a spokesperson for Disney Entertainment Television shared in a statement.
The decision follows Taylor's interview on Good Morning America on Wednesday, in which she shared her perspective on the domestic violence allegations which resulted in the pause in production on The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, which Taylor also stars in.

"It’s hard to see past this — I’m not going to lie — in this moment, it’s just so heavy," Taylor said. "When your life is broadcasted out there in these headlines, it’s like the end of the world, that’s what it feels like — I’m not going to lie. I will say I’ve been here before and I got through it and I’ve shared my story and my light, and I’m hoping I can do that again."
