Also part of the cast is fellow “Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” star Demi Engemann, “Love Island” alums Ekin Su and Huda Mustafa, and “Bachelor” contestant Joe Amabile.

Dakota Mortensen Was Embroiled In Scandal Weeks Before ‘Unwell Games’ Premiered On YouTube
Mortensen’s appearance in “Unwell Games” comes weeks after the 33-year-old made headlines over an alleged February 2026 domestic dispute involving him and Paul.
Days later, a video from a 2023 dispute Paul had with Mortensen was shared online, according to The Blast.
The horrifying clip shows Paul screaming and cursing at Mortensen while appearing to strike him and pull his hair. Another section of the clip shows the TikTok star launching metal chairs at Mortensen and later hitting her minor daughter.
The video generated major backlash, prompting ABC and Disney to pull Paul’s previously filmed season of “The Bachelorette.”
Even worse, Cinnabon also parted ways Paul, saying, “Recent developments and allegations surrounding the lead cast member led us to reassess this collaboration as it no longer aligns with our brand values.”
Paul Says Mortensen Was ‘Possessive’ Before Her Season Of ‘Bachelorette’ Was Supposed To Air
According to a report from PEOPLE, Paul made allegations against Mortensen in a recent filing for a protective order, claiming her ex was “possessive” and displayed patterns of “abusive conduct and coercive control.”
Elsewhere in the filing, Paul said Mortensen sent her texts, saying, “I want you forever,” “I still love you and want you,” and pleading with her to “give me a chance” in February 2026.
Paul further claimed she saw an image of the inside of Mortensen’s lips, which reportedly had her initials tattooed inside of them.
“Considering his increasingly possessive and erratic behavior, and considering the fact that we were not in a relationship, this was extremely alarming,” she wrote in the filing. “My initials are now permanently tattooed on the body of a man who has been abusive toward and possessive of me.”
Even More Drama With Mortensen And Paul
The report claims Mortensen received the tattoo on February 14, 2026, and later showed the cast members of “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” while filming.
However, production on the show’s upcoming season was paused after the pair’s drama escalated. “They are not filming,” a source told PEOPLE. “Taylor [Frankie Paul] has some pretty serious stuff happening regarding her past, and they will see what happens. Until that resolves, they are off.”
Paul’s representative released a statement on her behalf after the news reached new heights, saying the mother of two was “grateful” for the support amid the chaos.
“After years of silently suffering extensive mental and physical abuse as well as threats of retaliation, Taylor is finally gaining the strength to face her accuser and taking steps to ensure that she and her children are protected from any further harm,” they added.
