Chris Harrison has a new dating show five years after leaving the Bachelor Nation franchise. He recently opened up about what sets The Vow apart from his previous show. The Fox Nation dating show relies heavily on faith, morals, and tradition. Something ABC doesn’t have, according to the former host. He threw shade at “messy” Taylor Frankie Paul amid the network canceling her season of The Bachelorette. Keep reading for more details on the unexpected diss.
Chris Harrison Shades ‘Messy’ Taylor Frankie Paul Amid Bachelorette Cancellation
Taylor Frankie Paul became famous on TikTok for pulling the curtain back on the Mormon lifestyle. Her ‘MomTok’ popularity drew interest from Hulu. The streamer created a reality show starring TFP and her friend group. However, she revealed in September that she won’t return for Season 6 of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.
Taylor Frankie Paul’s on-and-off romance with Dakota Mortensen featured on the early seasons of the Hulu show. However, after they split for good, ABC tapped her for the next Bachelorette. The season was days from airing when footage of a domestic dispute from 2023 was leaked. The video showed Taylor Frankie Paul throwing barstools at her ex while her daughter was nearby.
ABC yanked The Bachelorette season from airing. Chris Harrison revealed to Decider that he hasn’t watched any Bachelor Nation shows since his 2021 departure. However, he keeps up with his former co-workers.
“It’s messy over there,” Chris Harrison said. “I think the most fortunate thing is it’s not my mess. And I was happy to create The Vow and go the direction we went with our show.”
Some Bachelor Nation fans still want to see Taylor Frankie Paul’s scrapped season. However, ABC appears to have moved on from the drama.
Taylor Frankie Paul Teases Joining New Bachelor Season
ABC’s decision to pull The Bachelorette sparked speculation that the franchise was over. However, the network made a surprising announcement earlier this week. They revealed NFL player Sam Hartman as the next Bachelor. His season premieres in March, but filming hasn’t started yet.
Taylor Frankie Paul teased an interest in joining Season 30 as a contestant. “Dang sign me up 😍,” she commented on the show’s official announcement. The SLOMW alum recently celebrated one year of celibacy. She proudly announced the news on social media. TFP previously spoiled her season of The Bachelorette by revealing she got engaged to Doug Mason, but they broke up shortly afterward.
Taylor Frankie Paul was probably joking about joining The Bachelor. If ABC let her, they would be as “messy” as Chris Harrison suggested. Share your thoughts on The Vow in the comments.
