The news surfaced after cast member Mikayla Matthews posted that she was quitting the show on Sept. 14, with her posts implying Paul’s return.

The fallout reached ABC too. After the TMZ video, the network canceled Paul’s planned season of “The Bachelorette.”
## Custody fight continues
Paul and Mortensen have since made more allegations, obtained mutual restraining orders, and are fighting over custody of their son, Ever. No charges have been filed.
