1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,759
Speaker 1: Gold. It's Jones. You to Edna driving you home.

2
00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:06,479
Speaker 2: Fault.

3
00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:08,320
Speaker 3: This is the death l.

4
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:14,680
Speaker 1: Leslie, the features editor from The Daily Oz, has spectacular

5
00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:17,560
Speaker 1: features and she's gracing our big screen right now.

6
00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:19,560
Speaker 2: Hello, m Hello friends.

7
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:22,200
Speaker 4: I'm here to talk to you about The Bachelorette. Not

8
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:26,239
Speaker 4: the Bachelorette Australia that was famously dumped by Channel ten

9
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 4: a little while ago. But there is this huge controversy

10
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:32,120
Speaker 4: unfolding in the US where the show is in its

11
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:36,240
Speaker 4: twenty second season. It was about to premiere on Sunday,

12
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:39,600
Speaker 4: and then leaked footage of this year's leading lady, whose

13
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 4: name is Taylor Frankie Paul, went viral and ABC America said, nap,

14
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:46,840
Speaker 4: we're scrapping it. In light of the new footage, We're

15
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:50,200
Speaker 4: not moving forward with the new season now. This all

16
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 4: comes from these domestic violence charges an arrest of the

17
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 4: star of the show a few years ago.

18
00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:57,960
Speaker 2: Taylor Frankie Paul.

19
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 4: If you haven't heard of her, she went viral on

20
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:04,760
Speaker 4: TikTok as part of that Mumtok TikTok group a few

21
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:06,120
Speaker 4: years ago, like a group.

22
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 2: Of Mormon women mums who.

23
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 4: Ended up kind of making global headlines because they were

24
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,400
Speaker 4: all implicated in this swinging scandal.

25
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 2: Do you remember that?

26
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 3: I do remember that, And they picked one of those

27
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 3: to be the bachelorette.

28
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:18,960
Speaker 1: The Mormon Swingers.

29
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,399
Speaker 4: Yes, so the Mormon Swinger. She was the face of

30
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 4: the whole Mumtalk thing. She is the face of the

31
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 4: Secret Lives of Mormon wives. So that's a reality show

32
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:32,040
Speaker 4: that was born out of the Mumtalk chaos. She was

33
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 4: chosen last year to be the next Bachelorette. Now we

34
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 4: all knew this. We always knew that. In twenty twenty three,

35
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 4: she was caught up in this incident. She was arrested,

36
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 4: she had an altercation with her ex. There's this vision

37
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 4: that we've now got of the incident, but she had

38
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 4: publicly spoken about it.

39
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 2: She was charged with assault.

40
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 4: It formed the basis of the pilot of the reality show,

41
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 4: so it wasn't any secret and ABC, the network, absolutely

42
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 4: knew about all of this when it chose to cast

43
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 4: her in the Bachelorette. But what's changed now is there's

44
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 4: new footage of that altercation. So it happened three years ago,

45
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 4: but we've seen new vision and it appears to show

46
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 4: Taylor Frankie Paul throwing metal chairs at her partner, and

47
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,079
Speaker 4: this is all happening in front of her daughter, who

48
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 4: was five years old at the time. Now, according to

49
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 4: court documents, there was from this whole altercation. The child

50
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,359
Speaker 4: ended up with a huge bruise on her hand, so

51
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 4: she was caught up in the crossfire. Taylor Frankie Paul

52
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 4: was charged with domestic violence in the presence of a child,

53
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 4: but that was dropped because she completed a parenting course

54
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 4: and did a deal. But she was charged with assault.

55
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,800
Speaker 4: She's been on probation. She was on probation when she

56
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 4: was cast. But now TMZ have leaked this new footage

57
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 4: and I suppose it's cast a magnifying glass on the

58
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 4: incident and it's brought it to a lot more people's attention.

59
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 3: So all that's changed is that we're seeing more detail

60
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 3: in the video, yes, exactly.

61
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 4: And some of the video is in The Secret Lives

62
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,920
Speaker 4: of Mormon Wives, the reality series, So this is just

63
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 4: an extension, I suppose, of what we had already seen.

64
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:15,399
Speaker 4: So there is criticism now around, you know, the ABC's

65
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 4: decision to cast her in the first peace and is.

66
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,839
Speaker 3: The public calling for it or the public saying fair enough,

67
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 3: she should never have been cast.

68
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 4: The retric I think at the moment is she should

69
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 4: never have been cast. There are a lot of people

70
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:31,799
Speaker 4: who are massive fans of Taylor, Frankie Paul, who was saying, Eric,

71
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 4: she's been honest. She's always owned up to the past transgressions.

72
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 4: You know she's faced justice for all of that, and

73
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 4: you know that we need to move on. Paul herself

74
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 4: said that she's been silent out of fear of further

75
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 4: abuse and retaliation. She said she's currently exploring all of

76
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 4: her options and seeking support, preparing to own and share

77
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 4: her story, which sounds like maybe a Netflix stocko is

78
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 4: in the works if you ask me.

79
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 3: Wow, she's living life in front of the camera, full tilt.

80
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 1: From a Mormon swinger to a chair slinger.

81
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 3: Oh nice.

82
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 1: You can get her outside of Night's good from you?

83
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 1: What have you been good from me?

84
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 2: Or you can get out what they say about you.

85
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 1: Get her outside a strip club in Melbourne chucking chairs around.

86
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 3: Could do it.

87
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 1: It's a go to weapon.

88
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 4: You know.

89
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 2: They could team up to a Bachelor Bachelorette co production.

90
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:22,839
Speaker 1: A Bachelor Bachelor Bachelorette co production. This is why how

91
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 1: intrigued you are? The features editor.

92
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,599
Speaker 3: And people once again are saying TV networks take a

93
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:28,479
Speaker 3: good look at yourself, have.

94
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:31,159
Speaker 1: A good hard look, and thank you, thank you.
