New details have emerged in the ongoing domestic allegations between Taylor Frankie Paul and ex Dakota Mortensen, following earlier reports of child abuse claims and a production pause on 'The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.' Sources say Paul physically assaulted Mortensen at his home around Feb. 24-25, with their son Ever present; her 'Bachelorette' appearance remains scheduled.
Following reports of mutual spousal abuse allegations and Dakota Mortensen's claims to Utah's Division of Child and Family Services that Taylor Frankie Paul was physically abusive toward their son Ever, new details have surfaced about a specific altercation. Sources told TMZ the incident occurred around Feb. 24-25 at Mortensen's home, stemming from an argument over his past hookup with castmate Shinia Powell. Paul allegedly choked Mortensen with his necklace, grabbed his throat and face while Ever was in the room. Mortensen reportedly called police that night, but Paul convinced him to downplay it and returned the next evening, where she allegedly scratched his neck and threw his phone at the wall. A friend observed the injuries, contacted authorities, and officers confirmed evidence of assault, per sources.
