In a recent X post, Brandi Glanville is pitching herself as the next Bachelorette lead after the newest season got benched a few days before its premiere. The Bachelorette’s newest season was supposed to air, featuring Taylor Frankie Paul, but it was shelved after her recent assault allegations. Now Brandi wants to step in.
Brandi Glanville, star of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, is also an international model. With the empty spot, Brandi is quick to act to secure the Golden Bachelorette seat with her new post. She also takes a subtle dig at the former main cast, Taylor. What exactly did Brandi post? What shade did she throw at Taylor? Keep reading for the full scoop.

ABC is facing a huge financial loss after canceling the latest season of The Bachelorette at the last minute. The network canceled the season after the allegations against its lead, Taylor Frankie Paul, surfaced. Now, the reports say the network could lose tens of millions of dollars. Some insiders even estimate losses of over $50 million. Each episode reportedly costs around $2 million to make. This sudden decision left the network in a very tough spot, since it was only a few days before the premiere.
The decision came after a 2023 video went viral online. It showed Taylor in a violent incident with her ex, Dakota Mortensen, with her child nearby. The clip sparked major backlash, and soon after, ABC and Disney canceled the season. The loss goes beyond production costs. The network may also lose money from ads and brand deals. Insiders now regret not doing deeper background checks before casting her.
Brandi Glanville recently took to X and made her voice heard. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum is eyeing The Bachelorette lead after ABC sacked Taylor, Frankie Paul, and canceled the season. Brandi Glanville posted on X on Monday, saying, “OK, guys, if Frankie John Peter Taylor Paul Joseph Jimmy can be the bachelorette now that I’m all better, I think it’s time for me to embrace my age & become the golden bachelorette.”

The post was Brandi’s way of expressing interest in the lead role on The Bachelorette. Brandi, a well-known reality TV alum and an international model, also had an unfiltered podcast with John Maas. In the post, she boasted of having no “rap sheet” or domestic violence charges, only a lot of unflattering pictures on Google. This is a direct shade at Taylor Frankie Paul and the 2023 video of her domestic abuse video that went viral recently. Taylor Frankie Paul was arrested in 2023 after a fight with her ex, Dakota Mortensen, with allegations of child endangerment.
However, Glanville has her own set of controversies. Caroline Manzo accused Galnville of sexually assaulting her by giving her unwanted kisses and touching her chest and genitalia without consent in 2023. Brandli denied the allegations, but these caused a delay in the Bravo production. Now it remains to be seen whether Brandi will be accepted as the Golden Bachelorette.
