Taylor Frankie Paul, whose season of "The Bachelorette" was canceled by ABC due to a reported domestic violence incident involving her ex-boyfriend Dakota Mortensen, has jokingly expressed interest in joining the next season of "The Bachelor" with Sam Hartman as the lead. Following Hartman's announcement as the leading man for Season 30 of the show, Paul shared an Instagram Reel featuring a scene from "Parks and Recreation" where her application for the dating series is shown. In the video, she humorously responds to the question of what would make her stand out among other contestants with "Ahhh, I was the first Bachelorette in history to be on hold." Paul's post generated excitement and nervous anticipation, as she captioned the video with "I chose to have the audacity 🌹."
