US EditionUtah Court Rules Taylor Frankie Paul Can't Have Unsupervised Visits with 2-Year-Old Son
- On Tuesday, Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Taylor Frankie Paul filed a temporary restraining order against her ex-boyfriend, Dakota Mortensen, in Salt Lake City District Court, less than an hour before a scheduled hearing on his protective order request.
- Both parties accused each other of domestic violence following a late-February altercation, with Paul alleging a 'pattern of abusive conduct and coercive control' while Mortensen's legal team claims she is 'completely out of control' when they argue.
- In her petition, Paul alleged Mortensen assaulted her at home, which 'left noticeable bruising on various parts of her body,' and claimed his refusal to leave her residence 'put her in fear of abuse.'
- ABC canceled Paul's The Bachelorette season and Hulu paused production on The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives amid the scandal, though Mortensen continues appearing on the Alex Cooper-backed Unwell Winter Games.
- Salt Lake County court records indicate that Paul and Mortensen will meet in court again on April 30 to 'discuss the merits and entry' of the protective order, while police in Draper and West Jordan, Utah, maintain open investigations.
