A friend of Dakota Mortensen, the ex-boyfriend of “Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” star Taylor Frankie Paul, recently contacted the Draper Police Department in Utah to report an alleged domestic violence incident. The report indicates that the incident occurred between February 22 and 23, with the friend describing the victim as having suffered physical assault, including grabbing and scratching. The victim expressed concerns about reporting the assault due to Paul’s public profile. Police documentation includes photographs of the victim’s injuries and a 911 call log, and the case remains under investigation. Additionally, there are multiple open domestic violence investigations involving Paul, including an incident in West Jordan, Utah, dating back to 2024, and a previous case from 2023 where Paul pleaded guilty to an aggravated assault charge. The ongoing investigations have prompted the cast of “Mormon Wives” to pause filming for the series.
