Taylor Frankie Paul Involved in Domestic Violence Incident With Baby Daddy Dakota – FULL STORY

Filming for Season 5 of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives has reportedly been put on hold following a new domestic violence investigation involving reality star Taylor Frankie Paul.

According to reports, production on the Hulu reality series paused after an alleged altercation involving Paul and her ex-boyfriend, Dakota Mortensen, which is currently being investigated by police in Draper, Utah.

Police Investigation Underway

A spokesperson for the Draper City Police Department confirmed that authorities are looking into a possible domestic assault incident involving Paul and Mortensen. Officials said allegations were made by both parties, and officers made contact with those involved on February 24 and 25 as part of the ongoing investigation.

At this time, the investigation remains open, and no further official details about the incident have been publicly released. Cameras were reportedly not filming when the alleged altercation occurred.

Because of the developing legal situation, production on the show’s upcoming season has been paused until the matter is resolved.

Cast Reportedly Distancing Themselves

Sources also claim the controversy has caused tension among the “MomTok” group featured on the show. Some cast members are reportedly distancing themselves from Paul as the situation unfolds.

“None of the women want to be associated with her,” one source said, adding that production will remain paused while the situation is sorted out.

The reality series follows a group of Utah-based TikTok influencers known as “MomTok” as they navigate friendships, relationships, and personal controversies.

Previous Legal Issues Resurface

This is not the first time Paul and Mortensen have been involved in a domestic dispute. In 2023, Paul was arrested following an argument between the two. She faced several charges, including assault and domestic violence-related offenses.

She later entered a plea agreement in which she pleaded guilty in abeyance to aggravated assault, meaning the charge could be dismissed if she complied with certain court conditions.

The earlier incident even became part of the storyline when the reality series first premiered.

Timing Raises Questions for Upcoming Shows

The production halt comes just days after Season 4 of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives debuted on Hulu.

It also arrives at an awkward moment for Paul’s television career, as she is set to appear as the lead on the upcoming season of The Bachelorette, which is scheduled to premiere soon on ABC.

Neither Hulu, ABC, nor representatives for Paul have publicly commented on whether the investigation will affect her role on the dating show.

For now, the future of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives Season 5 remains uncertain as producers wait for more clarity regarding the investigation.
