As the controversy surrounding Taylor Frankie Paul continues to unfold, Doug Mason, a contestant from her season of The Bachelorette, has publicly expressed his support amidst her escalating domestic violence scandal. The situation has undoubtedly cast a shadow over the reality star, with significant fallout affecting those close to her.
Taylor Frankie Paul appears to have lost the backing of her previous partners, Dakota Mortensen and Tate Paul. Both men were seen attending a court session in Utah, likely addressing legal issues related to their past with Paul. Their presence at the courthouse follows the abrupt cancellation of The Bachelorette and the growing scandal surrounding Taylor. Despite this, Doug Mason has stepped forward to show his allegiance.
Taylor Frankie Paul does not have the support of Dakota Mortensen or Tate Paul, it would seem. Both men were spotted inside a Utah courthouse following the cancellation of The Bachelorette and Taylor’s domestic violence scandal. Both are believed to have been dealing with legal matters pertaining to their ex. Still, she has at least one man in her corner. Doug Mason, the rumored winner of Taylor Frankie Paui’s The Bachelorette season, took to Instagram to support the tumultuous reality TV star. His thoughts were pretty vague, though.
Doug Mason took to Instagram to send prayers to Taylor Frankie Paul
Doug Mason, a contestant on Taylor Frankie Paul’s season of The Bachelorette, is speaking out, and he is sending positive thoughts to his leading lady. Mason, who is rumored to have won Paul’s season, took to Instagram to ask for prayers and thoughts for Paul. The 28-year-old trainer seemed sympathetic to her plight, suggesting the world needed to “support” people in “need.”
Mason went on to claim that he’s doing fine, but believes Paul could use the support because her “moment” was taken from her. Mason, oddly enough, opted not to mention the reason behind ABC pulling the plug on Paul’s season of The Bachelorette. He didn’t mention his current connection to her, if there is one, either.
Mason is believed to have been the winner of Paul’s season, but that’s still just a rumor. Based on what Mason said, it seems like he’s not in contact with Paul at the moment. Still, that might be his attempt to protect the show’s outcome. While the season appears to have been canceled entirely, it’s possible that Mason and other contestants are still under contract and can’t speak about what happened just yet. Paul herself recently teased what happened in the canceled season on social media, though she was careful not to reveal whether she left the series attached. Instead, she called the season “very Taylor.”
What have other contestants said about the cancellation?
While Doug Mason offered his thoughts for Taylor Frankie Paul, other contestants were a bit more guarded about their feelings on the show’s lead. Several men who appeared on her season took to Instagram to make statements about the show’s cancellation, but Mason is really one of just a few who referenced Paul directly.
According to Entertainment Weekly, Paul previously claimed that she was open with the contestants about her past arrest. She claimed she spoke about her domestic violence arrest, too. During an interview, she revealed that she had been asked about her past in individual conversations. At the time, she claimed that she was an open book. Still, several contestants appeared to have been taken by surprise by the violent nature of Paul’s 2023 incident with Dakota Mortensen, as well as new allegations.
