Taylor Frankie Paul Not Facing New Charges After DV Investigation
The Hollywood Reporter • • entertainment
Key Points:
- Taylor Frankie Paul will not face new charges after investigations into domestic violence allegations by Utah authorities, as the Salt Lake County District Attorney’s Office found insufficient evidence to file charges.
- The investigations, led by Draper and West Jordan Police Departments, involved multiple alleged incidents between Paul and her ex, Dakota Mortensen, but some events were beyond the statute of limitations.
- Paul has filed a temporary restraining order against Mortensen, alleging a pattern of abusive conduct and coercive control, while Mortensen had previously filed an order of protection against her.
- Following the allegations, filming of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives was paused, and ABC pulled Paul's planned season of The Bachelorette, with no current update on the show's future.
- The production and cast expressed concerns about continuing to work with Paul amid the allegations, leading to a separate internal investigation by the show's producers.
