\n\t\t<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n\t\t\tThe Secret Lives of Mormon Wives has allegedly halted production after Taylor Frankie Paul and her off-and-on ex-boyfriend Dakota Mortensen were involved in a domestic violence dispute while filming season 5. Multiple outlets reported in March that an incident took place between Taylor and Dakota. A spokesperson for the Draper City Police Department subsequently confirmed [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Taylor\u2019s legal drama escalated further on Thursday, March 19, when ABC pulled the upcoming season of The Bachelorette<\/em><\/a> starring the TikTok influencer just days before it was set to premiere. The decision came after TMZ published footage<\/a> earlier Thursday that appeared to show Taylor throwing a chair at Dakota during a 2023 domestic dispute.<\/p>\n\u201cIn light of the newly released video just surfaced today, we have made the decision to not move forward with the new season of The Bachelorette<\/em> at this time, and our focus is on supporting the family,\u201d a Disney Entertainment spokesperson told Us on Thursday.<\/p>\nA rep for Taylor told TMZ, \u201cIt\u2019s sad to see the latest installment of [Dakota\u2019s] never-ending, desperate, attention-seeking, destructive campaign to harm Taylor without any regard for the consequences for their child. Releasing an old and selectively edited video on their son\u2019s birthday is a reprehensible attempt to distract from his own behavior.\u201d<\/p>\n
