\u201cThe men on The Bachelorette<\/em> have all been rallying around each other in solidarity and feel extremely upset and let down by Taylor and the situation,\u201d a source tells Us Weekly<\/em> exclusively.<\/p>\n

News broke on Monday, March 16, that the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives<\/em><\/a> has halted production on the show\u2019s upcoming fifth season after a report that Taylor, 31, and ex-boyfriend Dakota Mortensen<\/strong> were allegedly involved in a domestic dispute.<\/a><\/p>\n

Draper City Police Department confirmed to People<\/em> on Monday that there is an open \u201cdomestic assault investigation\u201d involving Taylor and Dakota, 33, after multiple outlets reported that an incident between the two took place earlier this month.<\/p>\n

Details about Taylor\u2019s alleged domestic dispute also comes days before her season<\/a> of The Bachelorette<\/em> is set to premiere on Sunday, March 22.<\/p>\n

SLOMW<\/em> viewers know that this most recent controversy is not the first time that Taylor has experienced a brush with the law. She was previously arrested for domestic violence<\/a> in February 2023.<\/p>\n

Taylor told Us<\/em> in her recent cover story<\/a> that her Bachelorette<\/em> contestants asked about \u201call\u201d of her past controversies \u2014 also including her soft-swinging scandal \u2014 during one-on-one conversations with the men.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was ready for it. I\u2019ve got nothing else to hide. My arrest will always be a sensitive subject given the circumstances in that,\u201d the reality star told Us<\/em>. \u201cSwinging \u2014 that\u2019s such a scandal headline \u2014 but it\u2019s also a very traumatic time in my life. That was one of my rock-bottom points. I lost my family, my husband.\u201d<\/p>\n
