Big shakeups hit Miami’s TV and celebrity scene. Here’s what to know

It was a wild week for Miami names in entertainment: ABC scrapped an entire season of “The Bachelorette” that featured a local contestant, Bravo pulled the plug on “The Real Housewives of Miami” again, and Enrique Iglesias broke his family’s famously private streak with a rare photo and baby name reveal.

Here are key takeaways:

• ABC axed an already-filmed season of “The Bachelorette” after a disturbing 2023 arrest video emerged of star Frankie Taylor Paul fighting with her ex. The network is reportedly set to lose tens of millions of dollars.

• Miami physical therapist Kevin Montero, 32, was one of 22 cast contestants. The FIU grad had posted an Instagram video teasing his appearance.

• Paul, a 31-year-old influencer from “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives,” pleaded guilty to aggravated assault and is serving a three-year probation ending Aug. 24. Her ex also filed a protective order seeking sole custody of their toddler two days before the video dropped.

• NBCUniversal confirmed to the Miami Herald that Bravo will not shoot more episodes of “The Real Housewives of Miami.” It’s the second time the show has been shelved, after a previous hiatus from 2013 to 2021.

• Bravo’s Andy Cohen said on his SiriusXM show that “Housewives” breaks are standard and added: “I love ‘Miami.’ ... I always think there is a benefit in waiting.”

• Enrique Iglesias and Anna Kournikova revealed their newborn son’s name is Romeo in a rare family photo posted to Instagram. The couple, who live in Bay Point, now have four children.
