Mormon Wives Star, Ex Avoid Charges in Abuse Claims

A 911 call and bloody images have emerged detailing a domestic dispute between Taylor Frankie Paul, star of "Secret Lives of Mormon Wives," and her ex-partner, Dakota Mortensen. The incident occurred on February 22, the same day Mortensen alleges Paul attacked him at her home. Both Paul, 31, and Mortensen, 33, who dated intermittently between 2022 and 2024, had made domestic violence claims against each other in February. Photos submitted to the Draper City Police Department show Mortensen with a bloody nose and bruises, while Paul also sustained bruises. Despite the evidence, authorities announced on Tuesday that neither will face charges, citing insufficient corroborating evidence and identifying Mortensen as the primary aggressor in a second incident on February 23.
