Taylor Frankie Paul Faces Protective Order Hearing

  • On Easter Sunday, 'Secret Lives of Mormon Wives' star Taylor Frankie Paul announced she is detaching herself from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, though she remains Christian.
  • This religious transition follows ABC's cancellation of Paul's 'Bachelorette' season last month after domestic violence allegations surfaced involving her ex-boyfriend Dakota Mortensen, prompting investigations by Utah police.
  • Mortensen filed for a protective order in March, resulting in Paul temporarily losing custody of their 2-year-old son, Ever; a hearing scheduled for Tuesday will allow Paul to present her case.
  • Cast members of 'Mormon Wives' unanimously paused Season Five filming until legal action concludes, as Paul described the past 40 days as "hell on earth" amid panic attacks and physical distress.
  • Despite stepping away, Paul expressed she will "always have love and respect" for her former faith and plans to continue attending services with family while navigating this personal crisis.
