An alleged photo from Dakota Mortensen’s roommate indicates that Taylor Frankie Paul called Dakota 150 times in less than two hours, a month after she returned from The Bachelorette. Meanwhile, a source claimed that her Secret Lives of Mormon Wives castmates are refusing to film with her amid a police investigation into alleged domestic assault.
In 2023, Taylor was arrested in relation to an alleged incident of domestic violence. At the time, she was fighting with her then-boyfriend, Dakota, the father of her one-year-old child. Earlier this week, reports surfaced that SLOMW was put on pause due to a fight between Taylor and Dakota.
On Monday, March 16, @Realitysteve shared a photo of Dakota’s alleged call log. According to the image, Taylor called him over 100 times in less than two hours.
“(SPOILER) This is a screen shot of Dakota’s phone from this past January, sent to me by his roommate Cru,” said @Realitysteve in the caption on Instagram. “This was a month AFTER ‘Bachelorette’ filming had completed, but shows Taylor crashing out one night and calling Dakota over 150 times in a span of 90 minutes.”
“Just know that this photo has been verified and shows even after she completed filming, Taylor unfortunately was still not over Dakota – and seemingly will never be,” he added. “I know a lot want the best for her and you should. But behavior like this isn’t showing any growth on her end. It’s been a toxic relationship from the both of them that seems never ending, no matter how much both them say they want to move on.”
Around the same time, a source told PEOPLE that cast members are distancing themselves from Taylor amid a police investigation into alleged domestic assault.
“None of the women want to be associated with her,” said the insider after a Draper City Police Department spokesperson confirmed there’s an ongoing “domestic assault investigation” concerning Taylor and Dakota.
“Allegations have been made in both directions,” the spokesperson continued. “Contact was made with involved parties on [Feb] 24th and 25th.” Neither Taylor nor Dakota’s reps immediately offered a comment.
One source close to SLOMW production stated, “The girls are very overwhelmed. They all banded together and they don’t want to come back right now. … They were just getting tired of Taylor, honestly. … Everything was going smoothly [before the incident, but] the girls do have a resentment towards her.”
According to the source, Taylor has “been very quiet.”
“They kind of all decided, as a unit, that they’re taking the production pause, that they don’t want to film right now,” said the insider. “I don’t think they care about her really right now. They’re just kind of like, ‘We’re done for right now.'”
A different source claimed that Taylor wasn’t “violent” amid the February incident with Dakota, and that she’s “focused” on the premiere of The Bachelorette.
As for the report that SLOMW production is on pause, a source told the outlet, “Taylor has some pretty serious stuff happening regarding her past, and they will see what happens. Until that resolves, they are off.”
