OnlyFans star Sophie Rain has put her name forward for The Bachelorette after the show was reportedly canceled for the first time amid the controversy surrounding The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Taylor Frankie Paul. The 22nd season of the show was reportedly halted days before its premiere after Paul became linked to allegations of domestic violence. Rain has since appeared to offer a possible solution to the casting uncertainty.
Sophie Rain pitches for Bachelorette amid Taylor, Frankie Paul’s exit
After ABC reportedly canceled The Bachelorette Season 22 amid the controversy surrounding Taylor Frankie Paul, OnlyFans personality Sophie Rain appeared to put her name forward as a possible replacement.
Taylor Frankie Paul’s season of The Bachelorette was reportedly canceled by ABC on March 19, 2026. This followed reports of domestic violence allegations involving Paul and her former partner, Dakota Mortensen. A 2023 video also reportedly resurfaced showing The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star in a physical altercation with her partner.
This reportedly marks the first time that an entire season of the show has been shelved.
In response, Sophie Rain, who has a large following on OnlyFans and social media, publicly made a pitch. “@BacheloretteABC heard you needed a new bachelorette for this upcoming season,” Rain wrote from her X account, suggesting that she was open to taking on the role.
She also added an emoji that appeared to reinforce the message in the post. The post received thousands of views and comments within hours, and reactions to the suggestion appeared divided. Some users said Rain would be a strong choice, while others expressed skepticism.
“You would be high ratings for them, I’d bet,” one user wrote, while another wrote, “Have never watched a single episode of the Bachelorette, but would DVR the entire season if ABC signs Sophie Rain. Full Stop! She’s a sweetheart.”
However, there were differing views too. “They wouldn’t hire you, lol,” one user wrote, and another added, “Nooooo.”
Sophie Rain remains as popular as ever on social media platforms.
