Taylor Frankie Paul Owns It: Court Texts Reveal Reality TV Star's Unfiltered Self

When your private text messages end up in a custody battle, you’ve got two choices: deny everything or lean into the truth. Taylor Frankie Paul from Secret Lives of Mormon Wives picked option two, and honestly, the move is refreshing.

The star admitted this week to messages she sent to her ex, Dakota Mortensen, in early 2025 where she called herself a“full-blown MILF”with“perfect tits”and bragged about being“f***ing charismatic as f***.”When TMZ broke the story, Paul didn’t dodge or soften the language. Instead, she posted online:“I’ll admit to that one, because truth.”

Here’s where it gets complicated. Dakota is using these exact texts as ammunition in their ongoing custody fight over their young son, arguing they prove Taylor is erratic and unstable. The texts are part of a larger pattern he’s submitting to the court as evidence of her behavior. Taylor and Dakota have already been back in court this week, and they’re headed back in a few weeks for another hearing.

The broader picture here is thorny. On one hand, Taylor’s willingness to own her words without spin or excuse shows a certain honesty that’s increasingly rare in celebrity culture. On the other, those same messages are now legal exhibits in a custody case that will directly impact her relationship with her child. It’s a stark reminder that in the age of screenshots and cloud storage, nothing feels truly private—especially when co-parenting becomes adversarial.

Whether the court ultimately views these texts as evidence of a character flaw or simply as unfiltered banter between two people navigating a breakup remains to be seen. But one thing’s clear: Taylor’s straightforward“truth”defense cuts through a lot of the usual celebrity spin. The question is whether that honesty will actually help or hurt her in front of a judge.
