Reality Star's Viral Video Sparks Show Cancellation
20 Mar
Summary
- Paul alluded to domestic violence months before footage surfaced.
- Footage shows Paul throwing chairs, hitting her child.
- Her reality show season was canceled days before airing.
Taylor Frankie Paul, known for her role in "Secret Lives of Mormon Wives," alluded to domestic violence months prior to disturbing footage surfacing. In an August 2025 TikTok video, she lip-synced to a song about rage, ominously warning followers not to "throw things" and risk seeing "police lights."
Following this, Paul was arrested and charged with aggravated assault, domestic violence, child abuse, and criminal mischief. She pleaded guilty to aggravated assault, with other charges dropped. The recently surfaced video shows Paul throwing chairs at Dakota Mortensen, her daughter Indy Paul's father, with Indy present and inadvertently struck by a chair.
In the wake of this incident, ABC has canceled Paul's season of The Bachelorette, which was slated to begin airing just three days after the footage gained traction.
