Taylor Frankie Paul Exits 'Secret Lives of Mormon Wives'

Taylor Frankie Paul is stepping away from the reality television series "The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives," as announced on Instagram. Paul stated her decision to leave was influenced by recent public struggles and her desire not to continue with the show in its current capacity.

She detailed feeling subjected to "ongoing abuse through the system" for approximately eight months, alleging that some co-stars acted in a two-faced manner. Paul claimed these individuals laughed about her children and attempted to manipulate her into seeking more money from producers for their own benefit.

Paul asserted that she consistently treated production and crew with respect, and noted that it was individuals outside her cast who had been reaching out. Her exit comes after significant damage to her career, including a video showing her throwing a barstool at her ex, Dakota Mortensen, and multiple alleged failed drug tests impacting custody arrangements.

She expressed a sense of relief in removing herself from the show, acknowledging that part of her struggles might be consequences of her own actions but felt she deserved better than the ongoing pain. Paul concluded her statement by saying she is relieved to be out.
