Taylor Frankie Paul<\/strong>\u2019s Bachelorette<\/em> contestant is on board with her season airing despite ABC\u2019s decision to shelve the episodes they filmed.<\/p>\n

Conrad Ukropina<\/strong>, one of the men who vied for Taylor\u2019s heart on the scrapped season 22, took to Instagram on Tuesday, April 22, with a message on where he stands.<\/p>\n

\u201cRELEASE THE FILES! \ud83c\udf39 #bachelorette,\u201d Conrad, 32, playfully captioned a number of photos from his time on the show.<\/p>\n

In the first pic, Conrad was seen meeting Taylor, 31, outside the Bachelor Mansion on the first night. When fans scrolled, they saw a screengrab of him laying in bed and talking to another contestant. \u201cIf she gives me a rose, I\u2019m going to reject it,\u201d one of the men said to the other. Conrad then scribbled out \u201creject\u201d and wrote \u201caccept\u201d over the onscreen text.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tTaylor Frankie Paul had been honest about her on\u2013off relationship with Dakota Mortensen while filming The Bachelorette. \u201cThere were several conversations had [about Taylor\u2019s status with Dakota], and the writing was on the wall,\u201d a source exclusively tells Us Weekly, referring to Taylor and her Bachelorette contestants. \u201cMany feel like their time was wasted.\u201d Taylor, [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

He also shared a photo of a T-shirt with his face printed on it, along with #TeamConrad, as well as what he wrote would be his \u201csurprise date\u201d for Taylor, including a limo ride, drinks with a view, dinner on the water and more.<\/p>\n

More Bachelorette fans agreed that ABC should air Taylor\u2019s season in the comments section. \u201cGive the people what they want \ud83d\udc4f,\u201d one wrote, while another added, \u201cNo, literally release them now! We need the footage.\u201d A third added, \u201cNeed the release.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n<\/blockquote>\n

Conrad\u2019s post comes after ABC pulled Taylor\u2019s season in March hours after footage from 2023 was leaked showing Taylor attacking her ex Dakota Mortensen<\/strong>. Taylor pleaded guilty to felony aggravated assault after the incident in exchange for dismissing the other charges against her. As part of her plea deal, the aggravated assault charge would drop to a misdemeanor in August 2026 as long as she didn\u2019t break any laws.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn light of the newly released video just surfaced today, we have made the decision to not move forward with the new season of The Bachelorette at this time, and our focus is on supporting the family,\u201d a Disney Entertainment Television spokesperson told Us Weekly about their choice to cancel the season days before its debut.<\/p>\n

That same month, a spokesperson for the Draper City Police Department also confirmed there was an open \u201cdomestic assault investigation\u201d regarding Taylor and Mortensen, AGE.(News broke in April that Taylor will not be charged in the dispute.)<\/p>\n

Before Conrad spoke out, ABC\u2019s decision to cancel Taylor\u2019s season of The Bachelorette<\/em> came with mixed reviews. Contestant Clayton Johnson<\/strong> was the first to react, writing via his Instagram Story, \u201cI can honestly say this was one of the best groups of men I\u2019ve ever been around. So much integrity, respect and heart across the board. Even the tough moments never took away from that.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added, \u201cAny woman would be lucky to be with any of these guys. Real integrity. Real respect. Real men. Love you boys.\u201d<\/p>\n

Doug Mason<\/strong> also commented on the matter, saying via Instagram, \u201cIn light of everything that has happened, I am just sending prayers to Taylor because that was her moment and her moment was blocked. All we can do right now is just be hopeful, and I am headed off to run to watch the sunrise.\u201d<\/p>\n
