Filming for “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” has been paused following allegations of both child and spousal abuse involving cast member Taylor Frankie Paul and her ex-partner, Dakota Mortensen.
Sources indicate Dakota Mortensen has contacted Utah’s Division of Child and Family Services alleging physical abuse towards their son, Ever. Taylor Frankie Paul denies these allegations and frustration has reportedly grown due to a perceived lack of action from authorities.
The situation escalated late last month during an argument in Dakota’s car, reportedly involving a spilled drink and a physical altercation. Both Taylor and Dakota have accused the other of initiating the physical contact and contacted the police.
Production was initially halted after Dakota went “missing” for nearly three weeks following the incident. However, sources also indicate that cast members expressed unwillingness to continue filming due to the severity of the allegations.
Both Taylor Frankie Paul and Dakota Mortensen have been ordered by the Utah Division of Child and Family Services to undergo psychological evaluations as part of the ongoing investigation. These evaluations have not yet been completed.
Production is expected to resume, though Dakota Mortensen’s future role in the series remains unclear.
The relationship between Taylor Frankie Paul and Dakota Mortensen has been a central storyline on “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.”
Taylor Frankie Paul is also set to star as “The Bachelorette,” with the season scheduled to premiere later this month.
Attempts to reach Taylor Frankie Paul and Dakota Mortensen for comment have been made, but no response has been received.
