This Comment From Taylor Frankie Paul Is Raising Eyebrows
Taylor Frankie Paul is causing a lot of talk online after she left a flirty message for the man who reportedly won her season of The Bachelorette.
Even though the show was canceled before it could air, fans have been following the drama between Taylor and a contestant named Doug Mason. Over the weekend, Doug posted a video on Instagram where he was singing a new song and filming a duck in a parking lot. Taylor saw the post and decided to leave a comment that said, Awe I see what you did here, along with a duck emoji. Doug then sent back a playful message using emojis of a person shrugging and pointing to their ear.
According to several entertainment reports, Doug was the person Taylor chose at the end of the show and they even got engaged. However, their relationship reportedly ended sometime after the cameras stopped filming. The season was canceled by ABC after a video appeared that showed a physical fight between Taylor and her former partner Dakota Mortensen. This led to a police investigation and the network decided not to show the season at all.
When the news first broke that the show was being scrapped, Doug shared a video to show his support for Taylor. He told his followers, Good morning, everybody. In light of everything that’s happened, I’m just sending out prayers to Taylor because that was her moment, and her moment was blocked. Taylor saw his kind words and commented that her heart goes out to him as well. This back-and-forth on social media has made many fans think that the two might be getting back together.

Taylor has been mostly quiet on the internet lately, but she finally came back to Instagram on Monday. She posted a video of herself playing the piano but she did not say anything about the fight or the investigation. She seems to be focusing on music while she deals with the fallout from the show being canceled. Many people are waiting to see if she will eventually explain what happened behind the scenes.
Aside from the reality show drama, Taylor is still a big part of the cast of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives on Hulu. The show follows a group of social media influencers in Utah and has been renewed for a second season. Many of the women on the show have been involved in their own scandals, which has made the series very popular with viewers who like to watch high-stakes drama.
Doug Mason is also staying busy by focusing on his music career now that he is off the show. He has been releasing new songs and sharing clips of his performances with his growing number of followers. Since he was supposed to be the winner of The Bachelorette, he has gained a lot of attention and is using that to help his singing career take off.
It is interesting that these two are still talking to each other after so much trouble with the TV network. Usually, when a show gets canceled like that, the contestants try to stay away from the lead person to avoid any bad press. It shows that they might have had a real connection that lasted longer than the actual filming of the episodes.
It is a shame that the season was canceled because people were really looking forward to seeing how Taylor handled being the lead of the show. It is good that Doug is being supportive during a hard time, but it is hard to tell if they are actually dating again or just being friendly.
