Taylor Frankie Paul Faces Third Domestic Violence Investigation

Bachelorette star Taylor Frankie Paul faces a third domestic violence investigation involving ex-boyfriend Dakota Mortensen. West Jordan, Utah police are reviewing multiple videos from a 2024 incident, though specific details remain undisclosed. Paul previously pleaded guilty to aggravated assault in 2023 and remains on probation until August. Recently leaked TMZ footage showing Paul throwing metal barstools at Mortensen while a child was present prompted Disney to postpone The Bachelorette Season 22 premiere. Paul’s spokesperson said she’s “finally gaining strength to face her accuser” after “years of silently suffering extensive mental and physical abuse.” A second investigation in Draper City involves mutual allegations between Paul and Mortensen. Production on The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives Season 5 is paused due to ongoing investigations. Story URL
