Taylor Frankie Paul, known from the reality series 'Secret Lives of Mormon Wives', is facing fresh allegations of domestic violence involving her ex-boyfriend, Dakota Mortensen. Authorities were contacted last month by a friend of Mortensen regarding an alleged assault at Paul's residence in Draper, Utah.

New Allegations in Draper Investigation

Details of the February Incident

The complaint filed with the Draper Police Department identified the caller's friend as the victim of an assault by an ex-girlfriend. This incident reportedly took place between February 22 and February 23, with the report being filed on February 23.

According to police documents, the victim later detailed two separate instances of physical aggression. These included allegations of being grabbed, shoved, scratched, and struck by Paul. The victim expressed apprehension about reporting due to Paul's significant public profile.

Evidence and Current Status

Police documentation included photographic evidence of scratches found on the victim's neck, alongside a screenshot of a 911 call log. Authorities have confirmed that this case remains under an open investigation.

The heavily redacted report did not explicitly name Mortensen as the victim in this specific filing. However, NBC News has previously reported on an existing, separate domestic violence inquiry involving both Paul and Mortensen in Draper, initiated on February 24 and February 25.

Multiple Ongoing Investigations

It remains unclear whether the friend's allegations are incorporated into the previously reported Draper investigation or constitute a separate matter. Draper police have declined to release further specifics regarding that inquiry.

West Jordan Assault Inquiry

Furthermore, a distinct domestic violence investigation targeting Paul is active in West Jordan, Utah. A police spokesman confirmed last week that this case involves allegations that Paul assaulted Mortensen sometime in 2024.

The spokesman noted that Mortensen directed officials to the West Jordan Police Department because the 2024 incident fell under their jurisdiction, rather than Draper's. West Jordan police are currently reviewing multiple videos related to the alleged 2024 event to establish precise timelines and details.

History of Legal Entanglements

Paul has prior legal history with Mortensen concerning domestic violence from 2023. The arrest related to that earlier incident was featured in the premiere episode of 'Mormon Wives.'

Court records from the February 2023 case indicate that Paul subsequently pleaded guilty in abeyance to a charge of aggravated assault later that year. Four other charges in that same case, including assault and criminal mischief, were dismissed with prejudice.

Impact on Reality Television Careers

TMZ released video footage on March 19 allegedly showing Paul attacking Mortensen during the 2023 incident. This video directly led to ABC's decision to cancel the premiere of Paul's season of “The Bachelorette,” which had been scheduled for March 22.

Reports concerning Paul's involvement in multiple open domestic violence investigations also prompted the cast of 'Mormon Wives' to halt production on Season Five of the Hulu series. Audio from a March 7 call revealed that cast members had previously expressed concerns about Paul's conduct to ABC executives.

While Paul has maintained silence regarding the recent allegations, she stated to NBC News on March 19, “I will have my truth.” Representatives for both Paul and Mortensen have not yet provided immediate comment.
