š„ What Happened
The decision comes after a 2023 video surfaced showing Paul involved in a violent altercation with her then-partner, Dakota Mortensen, while her child was present.
The footage, released by TMZ, shows her throwing objects and physically confronting him.
Following that incident, Paul was arrested and later pleaded guilty to a misdemeanour aggravated assault charge. Other charges were dismissed.

šŗ A Season That Will Never Air
The wild part?
The season was already in the can and scheduled to premiere.
Which means:
⢠Filming = done
⢠Episodes = ready
⢠Drama = never making it to TV
Producers hit the brakes completely instead of trying to salvage or re-edit the season.
š¤ The Bigger Picture
Reality TV thrives on drama⦠but thereās a line. And this situation clearly crossed it.
Cancelling the season sends a pretty strong message about what networks are willing to put on air, even in a genre known for chaos.
