Sarah Michelle Gellar says a suit pulled the plug on the 'Buffy' reboot.

The OG "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" star previously announced Hulu was scrapping the reboot of the beloved TV show and now she's explaining more about the decision, which angered fans.

Sarah told People in an interview published Monday, "We had an executive on our show who was not only not a fan of the original, but was proud to constantly remind us that he had never seen the entirety of the series and how it wasn’t for him."

Production on "The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives" has been put on ice after allegations of child and spousal abuse, and we've learned it's gotten so crazy Taylor Frankie Paul and Dakota Mortensen have been ordered to get psych evaluations.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Dakota has called the Utah Division of Child and Family Services more than a few times, alleging Taylor has been physically abusive to their son Ever, who turns 2 this week. Our sources say Taylor denies the allegation, and Dakota has become frustrated that no action has been taken.

Things came to a head late last month, when Taylor and Dakota were driving in his car and got in a heated argument. We're told a drink was spilled on the seat and on Dakota, and he became enraged. Sources connected to Taylor say he got physical with her. We're told Dakota called the police and said Taylor was the one who got physical.

Our Taylor sources say Dakota went MIA for nearly 3 weeks after the car incident, and that's why production stopped. He has an important part in the show, and producers wanted to wait until he resurfaced. Sources connected to the show tell us a different story ... that cast members refused to continue filming -- despite producers wanting to keep filming -- because of the child and spousal abuse allegations.

Taylor Frankie Paul's reality show in Utah is on ice amid allegations of child and spousal abuse ... but her turn as the next 'Bachelorette' is still full steam ahead.

But he opted for something "slutty" for the Vanity Fair after-party -- a pleated, sheer top and Louboutin shoes.
