Taylor Paul's Mental Health Battle Revealed
21 Mar
Summary
- Taylor Paul felt healthier filming The Bachelorette than at home.
- She experienced a mental breakdown on camera in January/February.
- Production paused after cast refused to film due to dispute.

Taylor Paul has candidly discussed her ongoing mental health challenges in a recent interview. The 31-year-old reality star admitted that she felt a greater sense of well-being while filming The Bachelorette, contrasting it with her current state of 'survival mode' at home. She described feeling suffocated and emotionally overwhelmed, attributing some of her difficulties to seasonal affective disorder. Paul recounted a specific incident in January or February where she suffered a mental breakdown on camera while filming Mormon Wives, ultimately deciding to leave the set despite contractual obligations.
Her return to Utah after filming The Bachelorette proved to be particularly taxing, with limited breaks between consecutive filming schedules for various shows. This intense period led to dissociation and a feeling of being overwhelmed. The situation escalated in February with a domestic assault incident involving Dakota Mortensen, which he has denied. Consequently, production for Mormon Wives is currently on pause as the cast has refused to film amidst an investigation into the dispute. The Bachelorette season she filmed will also not air due to a past video release.
