"Honestly, it's been a heavy time to see the headlines, especially during this time of The Bachelorette being released, and it's supposed to be a really exciting time. I'm a person that will always speak my truth, and that's what I'm known for, and so when the time is right, I will be. But right now, just trying to be in the present moment and focus on this."
"But the thing is, my kids do come first. My kids come first, and so it's been just a back-and-forth process trying to be here in the present moment, worrying about home and headlines. It's been stressful, to be honest."
"When your life is broadcasted out there in these headlines, it's like the end of the world, that's what it feels like, I'm not going to lie. I will say I've been here before and I got through it and I've shared my story and my light, and I'm hoping I can do that again."
Taylor Frankie Paul, star of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives and newly announced Bachelorette, is navigating a domestic violence investigation involving her ex-boyfriend Dakota Mortensen. Draper City police confirmed allegations have been made in both directions. Paul was previously arrested in 2023 for allegedly throwing a chair at Mortensen, though those charges were dropped. She expressed the emotional toll of having her personal struggles publicized during what should be an exciting time for her career. Paul emphasized that her children are her priority and stated she will share her truth when the time is appropriate. The investigation has reportedly halted filming on season five of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.
