The Bachelorette -- TFP

[Anonymous]

I saw the video of the fight that was released today (Thursday.)

She appeared very inebriated in the video which is no excuse.
Dakota seems to be thinking of her little girl in the video & focused on calming Frankie down.
He is stressing the importance of not hurting the child but Frankie is so drunk she could care less.

In fact, she flings a chair that does hit her daughter and her daughter cries “Mommy!” 😱

Plus she is seen hitting ➕ kicking Dakota.
I think ABC had no choice but to cancel The Bachelorette - - imagine all the lawsuits they faced if they allowed her season to be shown!

I visited the TMZ website today and scrolled down and each + every post was about this woman!
Really!!

I had no inkling who she was until a few days ago……now she is inherently famous (or inFAMOUS!!)

Watch she will be a household name in just days.

It seems like she has arrested development. She's a 31 year old mom and the clips of her on social media are like that of a teen girl. I think social media addiction is rotting women's brains.

I doubt it. She was married at 21, had a baby at 22, another one at 25, and started her influencer career on TikTok at 26. Divorced at 28 due to cheating on her husband. The ex husband (Tate) apparently went to community college for business and has worked in sales. He has since remarried and has another child.

Boyfriend (Dakota) apparently went to college on a basketball scholarship but developed an addiction to pain pills after an injury and this led to a drug addiction and heavy fentanyl use and many trips to rehab until he got sober in 2022. He runs a juice bar and food truck and apparently has family money.

Sounds like a bunch of trailer trash. I can’t believe people watch this garbage. It’s immoral poison. Cultural rot.

How were they going to make her look like the "ideal woman"??? Fail!

The cast doesn't know who the lead will be when they are apply and are cast for the show. Casting puts together a group of men / women that they think will get ratings and views and that fit into roles production wants and who will work well with producers and story tellers. They have a pool of talent that they pull from for the casting. The men / women find out they have been cast and then later find out who the lead will be when it is made public which in this case was about a month before the first day of filming. Sure they could have pulled out but by then they have signed contracts, assigned producers, and are part of the franchise machine.

thanks for man-spaining that to me! yes, I know the guys don't know who the lead is when they apply. But the casting people are pucking a lead that they think will be universally appealing to a bunch of 25-35 yr old guys. From that perspective TFP was never a good pick. But the casting people wanted her for the drama factor. No guy who goes on Bachelorette would think...hmmm, yes please!...let me raise three young kids with two baby-daddies in tbe picture.

Also come on, I'm not a single mom but can we please stop with the misogynist "What man wants a woman who's raising another man's kids" bullshit.

There have been single moms on The Bachelor/Bachelorette for years now.

single moms, sure. Most were contestants, not the lead. The lead is the one set up as the prize, the ideal catch. Emily had one child from one guy, who had passed so he wasn't in the picture. Also, Ricki was about 7 when Emily was the lead. Very different to have a lead with THRER kids including a 2 yr old and a 5 yr old, with two other guys tbat the "winner" will have to navigate. That's a lot of stuff that TFP was bringing with her. For any woman in real life, sure single moms deserve love and life is messy. But if you are the lead in Bachelorette-land, where you are supposed to be courted by 25 guys at the same time , that’s way too much stuff.

Where is this trainwreck actually from? Her grift stardom was pretending to be Mormon on TikTok while she’s just a dime a dozen ghetto single mom.

And she’s broke, uneducated, no career, not attractive (outside of being skinny), and has a violent criminal record? Wow, what a prize! You know the show is fake because in the real world all men of stature would immediately ghost someone of her low caliber. While the show’s premise is dozens of men are chasing her? lol. And safe bet if they dig deeper she’s prob got financial issues too; ie repos, bankruptcy, credit card debt, fraud, bad checks, etc.

She had such a good pick of men too. One of them is a 3x Paralympic Athlete, another with an MBA from Stanford, several business owners and startup tech guys too.

She is probably going to get sued. I don’t know how accurate this number is but I saw that this might be 80 million or more in losses for ABC due to wasted production costs and lost ad revenue.

She is apparently just laying low right now because she is "emotionally and physically exhausted" but soon she will be back in a tell all.

I certainly hope not. They need to stop making money off of this woman's instability by giving her a platform. People look up to these tv stars, and it normalizes the horrific behavior we have seen out of TFP (even the stuff they actually show on SLOMW -- for instance her losing control and screaming horrible things about the women Dakota was dating).

Meh. Reactive abuse is real. If he was really in danger he wouldn't have been smiling directly at the camera.

The only people I'm concerned for are their poor children.

Um, this thread is 7 pages long.

Your view is obviously in the extreme minority, snob.

I think ABC thought it was fine because the two of them got back together and had a child after the first domestic violence charge. Kind of the same concept of Rihanna and Chris Brown who still has a fairly thriving career. Him and Rihanna made a song together after the fact so nobody cared. The network wasn’t expecting Taylor to get violent again, clearly they were wrong.
