A spokesperson for the Draper City Police Department confirmed that there’s an open “domestic assault investigation” regarding Paul and her ex-boyfriend, Dakota Mortensen. The spokesperson did confirm “allegations have been made in both directions” and “contact was made with the involved parties on [Feb] 24th and 25th.”
Another source confirms to People that the MomTok ladies are distancing themselves from Taylor, “none of the women want to be associated with her,” the source said.

The star of “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” and the MomTok founder was previously arrested for alleged domestic violence in 2023 following an argument with Dakota, with whom she shares a 1-year-old son, Ever. She was given misdemeanor charges of assault, criminal mischief, and commission of domestic violence in the presence of a child after she was accused of throwing a chair at Dakota, which allegedly hit her daughter.
During her appearance on “Call Her Daddy,” Taylor mentioned how the charges “were all dropped.”

This jaw-dropping production pause comes less than a week after Hulu released the fourth season of “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives,” where we learned MomTok member Mikayla Mathews is separated from her husband, Jace Terry, amid intimacy issues that the show has previously highlighted.
The current season also included a bombshell revelation that Paul spent the night with Dakota the night before she left to star in the next season of “The Bachelorette.”
