Taylor Frankie Paul Says Dakota Mortensen Had a Friend Call CPS With False Abuse Claims Before 'SLOMW' Production Shut Down

“Secret Lives of Mormon Wives”just delivered its heaviest episode yet. Taylor Frankie Paul told her co-stars about an explosive fight with ex Dakota Mortensen that led to production shutting down. According to Paul, Mortensen had a friend call CPS claiming she abused their two-year-old son Ever. She denies it flat out, saying“he told some freaking lies,”and claims she has camera footage proving Ever wasn’t in the car during the incident.

The episode also shows an on-screen message confirming production was paused after Paul’s phone call. From there, it gets more serious: viewers learn ABC pulled her planned“Bachelorette”season amid a domestic abuse investigation and that leaked 2023 video. Paul has also faced a third domestic violence investigation and remains in a custody battle with Mortensen.

Here’s the part that has fans talking: she’s returning for“SLOMW”Season 6 anyway, with ABC and Disney’s support. Whether that’s a redemption arc or a ratings play, the internet has opinions. So we want yours: should she be back on screen while these investigations are still ongoing?
