- Video of Paul attacking ex surfaces; she pled guilty in 2023.
- Co-stars denounce domestic violence, express concern for children.
Filming for the fifth season of "Secret Lives of Mormon Wives" has been suspended due to a domestic abuse investigation. This action follows the surfacing of a 2023 video depicting star Taylor Frankie Paul physically assaulting her ex-partner, Dakota Mortensen. The incident, which occurred with her daughter nearby, led to Paul pleading guilty to aggravated assault in 2023.
Co-stars of the Hulu docuseries have broken their silence, denouncing domestic violence. Layla Taylor, a survivor herself, shared her inability to remain silent and expressed thoughts for Paul's children's safety. Miranda Hope also voiced her seriousness about abuse and concern for the children involved.
The ongoing investigation by Draper City Police Department includes allegations made by both parties. The leaked video also prompted Disney to cancel the premiere of The Bachelorette. A representative for Paul stated she is prioritizing her family's safety and overcoming fear to share her story.
