Forget The Bachelorette, Taylor Frankie Paul’s Legal Troubles Are Bad For Secret Lives Of Mormon Wives, Too
Yahoo • • entertainment
Key Points:
- Taylor Frankie Paul's 2023 arrest and subsequent domestic violence investigations have led ABC to pull The Bachelorette Season 22 from the 2026 schedule and halt production on The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives (SLOMW) Season 5.
- Reports indicate new assault allegations between Paul and her ex-boyfriend Dakota Mortensen, with multiple domestic disputes coming to light, causing fear and reluctance among the SLOMW cast to continue filming with Paul.
- The cast of SLOMW is reportedly overwhelmed and unwilling to be associated with Paul, with some members already pursuing independent projects outside the show.
- Network executives at Disney and Hulu, overseeing SLOMW, view Paul as a liability and may consider canceling the series or removing her from it entirely to avoid reputational damage.
- Several cast members, including Whitney Leavitt and Jen Affleck, are moving forward with individual career opportunities, signaling a potential fragmentation of the original SLOMW ensemble.
