Taylor Paul Files Stalking Petition After Sobbing Video Leaks
11 Jul
Summary
- Taylor Frankie Paul filed a civil stalking petition on July 10, 2026.
- The petition is against Cru Eaton, a friend of ex-boyfriend Dakota Mortensen.
- The action follows the viral online publication of a video showing Paul crying.

Taylor Frankie Paul, known from 'Secret Lives of Mormon Wives,' has taken legal action by filing a civil stalking petition. The reality star initiated the filing on Friday, July 10, 2026, in Salt Lake County, Utah. The petition targets Cru Eaton, identified as a close friend of her ex-boyfriend, Dakota Mortensen.
This legal move by Paul stems from the online circulation of a video capturing her in distress, reportedly sobbing during a heated argument. The video was allegedly shared by Cru Eaton on TikTok, a platform where he pushed back against criticism of Mortensen. Paul asserts she possesses evidence to substantiate her claims in the petition.
Separately, Taylor Frankie Paul and Dakota Mortensen have been involved in court proceedings regarding the custody of their two-year-old child, Ever. Earlier in 2026, Paul had temporary custody limitations due to abuse allegations, but a judge ruled in June 2026 that supervised visits were no longer necessary.
The petition filed by Paul is not a restraining order but a request for a judge to compel Eaton to cease alleged stalking or harassment. This action highlights the continuing tension and public scrutiny surrounding the personal lives of the reality television personality and her ex-partner.
