"The Bachelorette" isn't airing, but we're still uncovering Taylor Frankie Paul's most dramatic moments while she filmed ... including one of her suitors grilling her about her domestic violence arrest.

An insider with direct knowledge tells TMZ ... Taylor's 2023 assault case was brought up by a contestant named Casey Hux during a one-on-one date, and she got very emotional about the topic.

Another source tells us ... TFP had a full-fledged meltdown when the arrest was brought up -- and she stormed off the set.

We're told Casey raised the sensitive issue because he wanted to know what, if anything, Taylor learned from the experience and how she'd grown from it.

Joseph Duggar's wife, Kendra, was released from jail in Arkansas on Friday ... and we now have video of the reality TV star being booked into jail before her detainment.

Watch the clip ... you can see Kendra awaiting instructions while sitting on a bench inside the jail facility. She's then taken to another part of the room, where she's given a pat-down by an official who first asks her to place her hands on the wall.

After examining Kendra's teeth, officials have Kendra remove her shoes, before leading her to another room with her hands behind her back.

You won't be seeing Doug Mason on Season 22 of "The Bachelorette" ... but you can still get a look at him shirtless on the beach!

“The Bachelorette” contestants were counting down to the airing of their season with Taylor Frankie Paul ... but after the show was abruptly shut down, the guys are now revealing how they actually spent their Sunday night, instead of watching their network debut.

Several contestants from the now-canceled season took to social media Sunday night to post comical videos of their TV screens showing nothing but a blank display ... a depressing jab at the show’s sudden shutdown.

One former suitor -- Mike Turitto -- posted a video captioned "today was supposed to be THE day btw" along with various angles of the fella viewing an empty screen ... alluding to the show's absence on everyone's TV screens Sunday night.

While Jessi Draper's marriage may be ending, life goes on. "The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives" star was snapped shopping with her mom, Diana Draper, and her daughter Jovi on Sunday ... and we have the pics.

As you can see, Jessi stepped out sans wedding ring during the family outing in Highland, Utah. The reality TV star kept cool in a purple crop-top in the unseasonably warm weather.

Despite the sunny forecast, a dark cloud descended on Jessi's marriage ... which now appears kaput.

"America's Got Talent" standout Jourdan Blue was arrested Saturday on suspicion of driving while intoxicated ... TMZ has learned.

Arrest records from the St. Tammany Parish Sheriff's Office in Louisiana show not only was he nabbed for DWI -- he was also booked for allegedly driving on a suspended license, careless operation, and open container in motor vehicle.  We're still trying to find out additional details of the arrest.

"The Real Housewives of Atlanta" star Cynthia Bailey really isn't looking for beef, but if beef finds her ... she's not about to back down!

"I always choose peace, honey, but ole 50 Cynt had to pop out a time or two," she teased.

Brenda Song was not living the 'Suite Life' on a recent Alaska Airlines flight ... detailing a nightmare experience where the airline split her family up.

The actress took to Instagram to express her frustration ... sarcastically telling fans she didn't know Alaska could just give away first-class tickets booked months in advance on the morning of the flight.

She says the seating issue caused her to be separated from her two kids ... a three-year-old and a four-year-old

Brandi Glanville thinks her pal Lisa Rinna should go back to 'Real Housewives' if they offer her a fortune ... but, she's also encouraging her not to work as hard!

The former "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star talked about her longtime friend on a new episode of her podcast "Brandi Glanville Unfiltered" with James Maas ... telling fans she doesn't know if Rinna wants to rejoin the program.

However, Glanville says she'd tell Rinna to go back to the show ... get a lot of "f***ing money" and then do "f***ing nothing."

Amy Duggar King's amending her earlier statement in which she showed support for Kendra Duggar ... telling TMZ she's now only standing in solidarity with the children involved.

Devin Strader is clapping back at his foe Sam McKinney ... after Sam took a dig at him while cracking up at the news of Taylor Frankie Paul's 'Bachelorette' season getting canned.

ICYMI, Sam hopped on Instagram Thursday and said he feels no sorrow for ABC amid the historic fallout ... adding it's their fault for the drama because they cast "the female version of Devin" as their lead.

Devin was often questioned by the suitors on Jenn Tran's season of "The Bachelorette" ... as they saw him as disingenuous. He ended up winning Jenn's heart ... but then dumped her after they got engaged, because he had doubts about their relationship.

Devin didn't hold back when speaking to TMZ about the ordeal, saying Sam M. -- there were two Sams that season -- used his name to gain relevancy. He added ... "I guess my name pays more than his Home Depot spinoff or whatever it is they’re shooting down there. I’m hiring a new accountant soon, seems he needs a new career!"

Joseph Duggar's wife Kendra has been arrested in Arkansas, TMZ has learned.

A warrant was issued for Kendra Friday … police went to the Duggar family compound in Washington County, Arkansas earlier Friday with a warrant for Kendra's arrest ... but she was not there.

But, now she's been taken into custody, according to the Washington County Detention Center. She was wanted for allegedly endangering the welfare of a minor and false imprisonment.

Taylor Frankie Paul's life turned upside down after video of her 2023 fight with Dakota Mortensen came out ... but, you wouldn't be able to tell by looking at her.

Photogs snapped the controversial reality star in Utah Friday ... chatting amiably with a friend while sitting in her car. She breaks into a big smile while they talk.

The star had been busy promoting her season of "The Bachelorette" -- which has now been canceled, as we told you ... but, now she's back in Utah and where we expect she'll hunker down and try to wait out the negative attention.

This season of "The Bachelorette" may be toast ... but that clearly doesn't mean some footage won't be seen.

An Instagram user posted footage she shot of Taylor Frankie Paul on a date with one of her suitors, walking along a beach that apparently was all theirs for the day.

There was some debate as to who the guy was ... the person who posted said it was Doug Mason ... but others in the comments said it was Casey Hux.

Dakota Mortensen just had a major legal victory against Taylor Frankie Paul -- his request for a temporary protective order has been granted ... and Taylor won't be seeing their son, Ever, until April.

According to court docs obtained by TMZ, Dakota will have temporary custody of their 2-year-old until at least April 7, when they're due in court.

Until then, the fired "Bachelorette" star must also stay 100 feet away from Dakota, which includes his home. She also can't own any weapons.

We told you all about it -- Dakota went to court earlier this week to start the process of getting a protective order against Taylor ... and happened to be there at the same time as Taylor's ex-husband, Tate.

Dakota filed Thursday and told the court about a "chaotic" and "frightening" incident during which she recently choked him.

We broke the news -- just last month, Taylor allegedly choked Dakota, ripped a necklace from his neck, and scratched his neck during two altercations that occurred with their son in the same residence.

We also obtained video of the 'Secret Lives of Mormon Wives' star physically attacking him ahead of her 2023 arrest for assault. As you know, ABC cut her season of "The Bachelorette" just hours after the video was released.
