Taylor Frankie Paul took a moment to thank Doug Mason, a suitor from her season of The Bachelorette<\/em>. She did this after ABC<\/em> announced the show would not premiere on March 22 as originally scheduled. The acknowledgment came amid a challenging week for the 31-year-old Secret Lives of Mormon Wives<\/em> star. She has been navigating public scrutiny following recent legal and personal developments.<\/p>\n

In a March 20 post reshared by a fan, Taylor wrote of the San Diego lifeguard, \u201cAw my heart goes out to him. So sweet.\u201d Doug\u2019s message, recorded from his car while driving to the beach, offered her words of encouragement. \u201cGood morning, everybody. In light of everything that\u2019s happened, I\u2019m just sending out prayers to Taylor,\u201d he said. \u201cBecause that was her moment, and her moment was blocked.\u201d<\/p>\n

He continued with a plea for empathy and positivity. \u201cAll we can do right now is just be hopeful,\u201d he added. \u201cHope you guys have a great day. Let\u2019s stay positive and show nothing but support for people in need. Cheers.\u201d<\/p>\n
