Taylor Frankie Paul announced on Instagram that she’s done with The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, saying stress and friction with fellow cast members have led her to not return for the show's sixth season, reportedly filming without her. Her exit follows a years‑long saga including a March domestic‑assault investigation in Utah involving her and ex Dakota Mortensen, a 2023 on‑set altercation in which she threw a chair, and a guilty‑plea in abeyance to a third‑degree aggravated assault, with mutual restraining orders issued. The Bachelorette production was previously halted and Disney shelved her; other cast members have voiced concerns about abuse and ethical issues. Paul says she’s relieved to step away from the show.
Taylor Frankie Paul is facing another custody setback in Salt Lake City after allegedly failing multiple court-ordered drug tests in the past 60 days, prompting the court to cut her parenting time to eight hours weekly—four with Indy and Ocean (her kids with ex-husband Tate Paul) and four with Ever (her son with ex Dakota Mortensen). Substances aren’t disclosed (TMZ reports at least one non-prescription). A gag order restricts review of the documents; this follows a July ruling that had expanded her time and comes after prior proposals for 40% custody were declined. The personal turmoil has also disrupted TV projects, halting Secret Lives of Mormon Wives Season 5 and canceling The Bachelorette, though a Season 6 return is rumored.
