Mayci Neeley Reveals Why She Doesn’t Think Taylor Frankie Paul is ‘Ready’ for ‘The Bachelorette’
Getting candid.
After 21 seasons, “The Bachelorette” is taking a bold new turn with a familiar face from the reality TV world.
Taylor Frankie Paul is stepping into the spotlight as the Bachelorette later this month, and fans can’t wait to see her journey unfold beginning on March 22.
Taylor’s “Mormon Wives” co-stars have previously shared their thoughts on her search to find love.
And now, Mayci Neeley is revealing why she doesn’t think Taylor is “ready” for “The Bachelorette.”
In an exclusive interview with People magazine, Mayci said, “I don’t think she’s ready… I think she’s nervous, and also we’re nervous for her.”
Continuing, she shared, “I think she had a great experience, but I can’t really speak on it — I wasn’t there.”
Her fellow “Mormon Wives” co-stars also chimed in, expressing that they think it’s going to be a good “Bachelorette” season.
“If I were her, I would be nervous, but I think it’s gonna be great TV,” Mikayla Matthews added. “I think it’s going to be entertaining.”
Jessi Ngatikaura teased, “I do think she learned a lot being there, and I think that she took away some really valuable lessons… I think it’s gonna be an incredible journey for people to watch. Like, it’s going to be the best season ever, I’m not even kidding.”
Whitney Leavitt, who has also crossed over to other reality TV shows, predicted how she thinks Taylor was as a Bachelorette.
“I think something that's so great about Taylor is that she’s willing to put her whole life out there — the good, the bad, the scandals, the dirty, the ugly, she’ll put everything out there,” she said. “So I think, at the end of the day, she’s gonna be happy, because I would assume she was her authentic self.”
We can’t wait to see Taylor’s “Bachelorette” adventure unfold, and we’re rooting for her to find the love she’s been looking for!
