NBC News • • entertainment
Key Points:
- Dakota Mortensen, ex-boyfriend of Taylor Frankie Paul from "Secret Lives of Mormon Wives," will not face charges related to domestic violence allegations, as announced by Draper City Prosecutor after reviewing the case.
- Both Mortensen and Paul filed domestic violence complaints against each other, but the prosecutor found insufficient corroborating evidence and deemed both parties' statements inconsistent and not credible.
- The investigation was referred to the Utah Division of Child and Family Services due to the couple's child being present during the incident.
- The couple's tumultuous relationship and past incidents, including a leaked 2023 video showing an altercation, led to ABC pulling Paul from "The Bachelorette" and paused filming of "Secret Lives of Mormon Wives" season five.
- Mortensen will also be edited out of the upcoming season of "Vanderpump Villa," reflecting the broader impact of the allegations on their media appearances.
