‘Bachelorette’ Cast Members Say Taylor Frankie Paul Was ‘Softer, More Authentic’ On Show & ‘Pleasant To Be Around’ Amid DV Allegations

​Taylor Frankie Paul is in the middle of serious allegations of domestic violence regarding her ex-boyfriend Dakota Mortensen, but as “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” star inches closer to the premiere of her debut as “The Bachelorette,” some of the men on the cast have come to her defense.. The reality star is known for drama-filled behavior on “Mormon Wives,” but the male cast members say they saw a very different side.. MEGA. Several members of the season 22 cast of “The Bachelorette” recently spoke with TMZ and sang Paul’s praises, notably pointing out how different she was on the show in stark contrast to what “Mormon Wives” fans see and the current domestic violence allegations against her.. The contestants told the outlet that while filming Paul was “kind, genuine, and well-intentioned,” and displayed “a softer, more authentic side.” They also added that overall she was “consistently pleasant to be around.”. Regarding the recent domestic violence allegations, they said that while the claims are “troubling,” they believe there are many misconceptions about Paul and want the public to refrain from rushing to judge, and that the full truth of what happened during the incident will be revealed in time.. LISA OConnor/AFF-USA.com / MEGA. According to TMZ, ABC has decided that the premiere of “The Bachelorette,” starring Paul will still air as planned on March 22, despite recent allegations of domestic violence against her.. Per the outlet, Paul is currently in New York City on a press run to promote the show, which is still slated to air the full season in its entirety.. Additionally, TMZ also shared details about “The Bachelorette” team being laser-focused on casting Paul for the show despite her drama-filled past and prior domestic violence arrest.. An inside source close to the show, told the outlet that “Bachelorette” producers wanted Paul badly for the show because they felt that due to the massive success of “Mormon Wives” and her immense social media following she could increase the show’s lagging ratings.. However, since they wanted her at all cost, the source said they admittedly “cut corners” during the vetting process.. ABC has since hired a public relations crisis manager amid the news of Paul’s alleged domestic violence incident involving ex-boyfriend Dakota Mortensen.. MEGA. Mere days before the news of domestic violence allegations against Paul circulated, “Mormon Wives” cast members Mayci Neeley and Mikayla Matthews spoke exclusively with Us Weekly about Paul’s mindset while filming “The Bachelorette.”. “While filming, we were able to see her, and you could tell while filming [‘The Bachelorette’] that she was in a better mindset,” Neeley told the outlet.. As for Matthews, she said that while she initially felt that Paul “wasn’t ready” for the show, she was excited to watch her journey.. “That was an opportunity for her to be forced to be away

​Lori Loughlin left fans in awe of her ageless beauty during a rare appearance on the red carpet of a Hollywood event last week.. The sighting comes several months after her split from her ex-husband Mossimo Giannulli, allegedly due to “incriminating” texts and emails on his phone.. Sources close to the couple also claim that their marriage was never the same after their college admissions scandal, as Lori Loughlin “never fully forgave” the fashion designer.. Lisa OConnor//AFF/SB / MEGA. Loughlin turned heads as she attended the Women’s Cancer Research Fund’s Unforgettable Evening 2026 gala on March 11.. The “Full House” alum’s chic outfit wasn’t the only thing that caught fans’ attention, as the actress appeared more youthful and vibrant on the red carpet.. For the recent outing, Loughlin donned a plunging black and white dress and let her hair flow down freely while rocking a side part.. View this post on Instagram. She seemingly wore light makeup as her face only highlighted smoky eyeshadow and nude lips. The actress then completed the look with silver drop earrings.. Loughlin attended the gala with her two daughters, Olivia Jade and Isabella, whom she shares with her estranged husband, Giannulli.. Just before she made her appearance on the red carpet, makeup artist Lyndsay Zavitz posted a picture of her face beat on Instagram, causing many fans to point out that she looked much younger.. Xavier Collin/Image Press Agency / MEGA. Fans of Loughlin took to social media to gush over her youthful look; however, some speculated she’d gone under the knife to achieve the taut appearance.. “Wow! She looks amazing! What’s her secret?” a fan said, while another added, “Wow, perfection!!!!”. “Amazing! She looks so youthful,” someone else wrote.. Commenting on a picture of Loughlin at an event, a critic noted, “She looks like she’s had some work. Here she is at 59. Either she had work, or she’s aging backwards all of a sudden.”. Another said, “That’s not Lori L. Unless she had a face-off.”. Someone else commented, “As if she just rolled out of bed looking 20 years younger. She looks great, but can we not pretend we are baffled by her youthful appearance?”. “Love it when they say someone looks half their age without pointing out they look like a completely different person after plastic surgery,” another person penned.. Xavier Collin/Image Press Agency/MEGA. Loughlin’s rare red carpet outing comes months after her split from Giannulli, whom she was married to for 28 years.. Sources told Us Weekly in January that the 2019 College admissions scandal, for which they were arrested after offering bribes to get their children into a top university, changed the state of their marriage.. “The school scandal was a turning point, and they never really connected or recovered their relationship after that,” the insider said, adding that Loughlin felt he “got her involved” in the situation.. “She did

Inside The ‘Buffy’ Problem: Why A Reboot Is Unlikely To Happen

​There are very few TV shows more 90s than “Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” which starred Sarah Michelle Gellar as the titular Slayer. Even though there were a few different Slayers that were awakened during her tenure, Buffy Summers is considered the Slayer, and that’s unlikely to change any time soon. Despite various attempts to reboot the series over the years, “Buffy” has one big problem: finding its audience.. View this post on Instagram. At this point in time, it’s unclear why the reboot, which would have starred “Star Wars: Skeleton Crew” alum Ryan Kiera Armstrong as the new Slayer, was scrapped. Although financial concerns most certainly played a role, Sarah Michelle Gellar seemed to point the finger at one person during a strongly worded interview with PEOPLE magazine.. “We had an executive on our show who was not only not a fan of the original, but was proud to constantly remind us that he had never seen the entirety of the series and how it wasn’t for him,” she said.. “That’s very hard when you’re taking a property that is as beloved as Buffy, not just to the world, but to me and Chloé,” she added. “So that tells you the uphill battle that we had been fighting since day one, when your executive is literally proud to tell you that he didn’t watch it.”. View this post on Instagram. Although Deadline sources seem to point to that executive being Disney Television Group President Craig Erwich, who oversees Hulu original series, it does raise the question of who the show was supposed to be for. Was Armstrong supposed to be a new Slayer for a new legion of teenage fans? Or was Gellar supposed to be nostalgia bait for an older audience?. “I loved the duality that we had with this new, younger slayer who was where Buffy was when the show started, and then we would pick up with where Buffy was now,” Gellar told the publication about the plot, hinting that it would have had something for everyone, which means that there was a substantial risk of alienating some viewers who might not have been satisfied with that kind of passive approach.. The reboot appears to have been caught between positioning Armstrong as the face of a new group of fans while still leaning on Gellar as a tether to the past. This risks satisfying neither audience, leaving the series stuck in a limbo that might end up letting everyone down. Either the reboot is a nostalgia-grab powered by Gellar’s iconic status or a bold reimagining aimed at a newer audience, but it can’t be both.. ZUMAPRESS.com / MEGA. Sources told Deadline that there were various concerns about the production, including that the scope of the project might have been too “small” to achieve what they hoped to accomplish. However, those goals remain unclear, as audiences haven’t been given a concrete reason as to why the production was suddenly shut down.. There were also, apparently, some concerns about Armstrong’s age. She was only 15 when she was cast. Compare th

Cruz Beckham’s ‘Loneliest Boy’ Has Fans Connecting The Dots To Brooklyn

​Cruz Beckham, the third child of David and Victoria Beckham, is drawing attention for his new song, as listeners focus on its emotional lyrics. Many believe the singer wrote “Loneliest Boy” with his eldest brother, Brooklyn, in mind, seemingly hinting at his estrangement from the family.. This comes months after Brooklyn distanced himself from the rest of the Beckhams, blocking any communication with them after a lengthy post on Instagram alleging his parents had been controlling his life.. View this post on Instagram. Cruz is on tour in the UK, and he has been performing an unreleased song titled “Loneliest Boy,” which seems to be about Brooklyn. The singer posted a short clip on social media on March 16, showing him singing the somber song and playing the guitar.. “Loneliest boy, mama don’t talk too much / It’s breaking her heart / It shows in the small things that you don’t do,” Cruz sang. In another part of the song, the lyrics talk about the loneliest boy always finding “something bad in somebody good.”. “Loneliest boy, I hope that you’re listening / Don’t push all your friends away, when we’re tryna show you love,” Cruz crooned.. Many fans loved the song, while others simply reacted with a crying face emoji, moved by the emotion behind the lyrics. One commented, “Awww, those words cut deep, it’s a beautiful song,” while one wrote, “Tell who hes addressing song to [sic].”. MEGA. In December 2025, several outlets reported that David and Victoria unfollowed Brooklyn on Instagram amid their ongoing family feud. Cruz cleared the air and defended his parents by posting a screenshot of Daily Mail’s headline writing, “NOT TRUE. My mum and dad would never unfollow their son.. Let’s get the facts right. They woke up blocked… as did I.. In mid-January, Brooklyn released a lengthy statement on Instagram Stories, airing out his grievances toward his parents and claiming they “controlled” his life. He also alleged that his family “consistently disrespected” his wife, Nikola Peltz. “I do not want to reconcile with my family,” he said toward the end of the post.. @cruzbeckham. wanna see the best cooking video ever ?👌 don’t watch this then. ♬ Dolce Nonna – Wayne Jones & Amy Hayashi-Jones. In March, Cruz uploaded a cooking video on TikTok, where he made potato soup with cheese and bacon bits. “wanna see the best cooking video ever? don’t watch this then,” he captioned the post.. It was an innocent post, but fans were quick to point out that it may have been a dig at Brooklyn, who is passionate about cooking and often posts cooking videos on his social media. Cruz also posted the video on Instagram, tagging the Beckhams’ long-time family friend and celebrated chef, Gordon Ramsay, telling him to “watch out!”. As previously reported by The Blast, Ramsay shared his opinions on the rift between the Beckhams and offered Brooklyn some advice. At that time, the chef was still in conta

Chris Pratt And Katherine Schwarzenegger’s ‘Old School’ Rule For Their Kids Revealed

​Chris Pratt and Katherine Schwarzenegger are taking parenting a notch higher, shedding light on a unique rule in their home.. The couple’s parenting style may not come as a surprise, as they gave insight into shared principles they actively put in place to keep their family life grounded.. While the Pratt household appears to be thriving beautifully, his career, however, does not seem to be faring as well.. MEGA. Movies are widely accessible to many, but that is not the case for Pratt and Schwarzenegger’s children, as they shared per E! Online.. The “Parks and Recreation” alum revealed that not only have he and his wife’s children, Lyla, 5, Eloise, 3, and Ford, 16 months, never watched his movies, but they have never watched any films at all.. “My 5-year-old, my 3-year-old, and my 1-year-old have never seen movies,” he detailed, describing his wife as old-school. “Katherine is very old-school when it comes to screens and technology and all of that stuff. So, we’re waiting.”. However, the actor, also a father to 13-year-old son Jack with ex-wife Anna Faris, is looking forward to the day his younger children finally watch his films.. “There’s gonna be a season, they’re gonna realize their dad is really cool,” he teased. “They haven’t realized it yet, but one day.”. He added that his teenage son already sees him that way. “My 13-year-old, I took him to a screening of the first movie,” he said of his animated film “The Super Mario Bros. Movie.” “He thinks it’s pretty cool.”. MEGA. Although Pratt grew up with a strong understanding of faith due to his Catholic background, his beliefs wavered over time.. As reported by The Blast, after rediscovering his faith, Pratt admitted he struggled internally, caught in cycles of sin and forgiveness. This continued until the birth of his son, who was reportedly born nine weeks prematurely in 2012 and spent a month in intensive care.. “Then, when my son Jack was fighting for his life, I found myself back on my knees, pleading to God for a miracle. I promised that if Jack survived, I would devote my life to sharing God’s message. This time I meant it.”. The actor noted that since his family made it through that difficult period, each day has given him a renewed opportunity to thank God for his family and children.. Xavier Collin/Image Press Agency/MEGA. Schwarzenegger did not simply step into parenting; she took intentional steps to ensure she approached the role with care and awareness.. As reported by The Blast, she prepared for her new responsibilities, not only as Pratt’s wife but also as a stepmother, by consulting a step-parenting therapist shortly after their engagement, fully aware of the role she was stepping into.. “And it’s been incredibly helpful for me and also just understanding my role as a step-parent,” the author shared, reflecting on her co-parenting dynamic with her husband’s ex.. She admitted that while her ego occasionally surfaces
