Taylor Frankie Paul Breaks Silence After Alleged Dispute With Her Child’s Father, Dakota Mortensen

Paul, who was thrust into the spotlight as the breakout star from Hulu’s “SLOMW” in 2024, recently broke her silence following her alleged domestic dispute with Mortensen.

Speaking with PEOPLE, Paul said that it hurts her “heart” to be in the middle of controversy amid what was supposed to be an exciting time. “Just the timing is hard, and it’s a big deal,” she stated.

Paul explained that “every premiere” she’s experienced has been clouded by controversy. “I’ve never enjoyed fully, so this is another one… it’s extremely hard, and it took everything to get me here today,” she said.

Taylor Frankie Paul Calls The Ongoing Drama With Mortensen ‘Heavy’

The mother of three went on to call the situation extremely “heavy,” adding that she’s “struggling” to keep moving forward following the alleged encounter.

“… but also at the same time I feel like if I don’t show up, then I’m just giving these opportunities away and not enjoying what we’ve worked on and something super exciting that’s coming. I just feel like it was the right thing to do… show up even though it’s hard,” she said.

According to a previous report from The Blast, production on season 5 of “SLOMW” has been paused following the allegations. A source shared that the remaining cast members have voiced their concerns about working with Paul.

“They are not filming,” the insider reported. “Taylor [Frankie Paul] has some pretty serious stuff happening regarding her past, and they will see what happens. Until that resolves, they are off.”

Social Media Users Are Not Here For Taylor Frankie Paul Or Her Apology

While emotional, social media users don’t seem to be moved by Paul’s statement. On Reddit, one user called Paul a “victim of her own actions,” while another said she is “vile and disgusting.”

“God, don’t you hate it when your reality tv premiere is overshadowed by your domestic violence case,” another wrote, while a fourth shared, “That quote in the article is f-cking insane.”

“This chick is constantly going through self-inflicted ‘heavy times,’” someone else posted, prompting another to share, “She definitely has the Lindsay Lohan syndrome of the ’90s where she loves chaos.”

‘Bachelor’ Producers Reportedly Cut Corners To Cast Paul As The Show’s Next Leading Lady

Another report from The Blast states that producers of the “Bachelorette” were surprised to learn Paul had been in another alleged dispute with Mortensen.

According to a source close to the show, the producers wanted Paul as the show’s next lead so badly that they allegedly “cut corners” to cast her, reportedly bypassing several crucial steps in the vetting process.

The drama surrounding Paul has also had serious implications for both of her shows, according to Entertainment Tonight. A spokesperson from Cinnabon recently revealed that the company was cutting ties with both series due to the seriousness of the claims.

“Recent developments and allegations surrounding the lead cast member led us to reassess this collaboration as it no longer aligns with our brand values,” they stated.

Paul Has Been Arrested Before

This wouldn’t be the first time that Paul has been involved in an alleged domestic dispute. Per CBS News, the TV personality was charged with two felony counts of domestic violence and one felony count of aggravated assault in 2023.

The charges stem from an alleged altercation Paul had with Mortensen, during which she reportedly struck him, choked him, and hit him with “heavy metal chairs.”

“Ms. Paul’s status as a social media influencer has no bearing or impact on the investigation or outcome of this case,” the Herriman Police Department said at the time. “All allegations of domestic violence are investigated thoroughly and in accordance with state law and established criminal justice best practices to protect victims and ensure accountability.”
