Taylor Frankie Paul is back in the headlines for all the wrong reasons after she was spotted in Utah just days after ABC canceled her season of The Bachelorette. The network pulled the plug following revelations of a domestic violence investigation involving her on-and-off boyfriend, Dakota Mortensen. As their tumultuous relationship takes yet another turn, Dakota has obtained a temporary restraining order against Taylor and gained custody of their two-year-old son, Ever.
Things went from romantic to dramatic rather quickly, with the Draper Police Department confirming investigations are ongoing, citing allegations that have been made in both directions. Taylor, still on probation from a prior incident, insists there’s more to her story and wants to set the record straight. With all of the chaos unfolding, one can’t help but wonder: Is reality TV really worth this kind of real-life fallout?
