Taylor Frankie Paul slammed by ‘Mormon Wives’ costars amid growing abuse scandal

'Mormon Wives' costars speak out against Taylor Frankie Paul after ABC cancels her 'Bachelorette' season: People

Taylor Frankie Paul’s Secret Lives of Mormon Wives costars are speaking out against her following the cancellation of her Bachelorette season amid escalating domestic abuse allegations.

ABC pulled Paul’s season after a video surfaced showing her assaulting then-boyfriend Dakota Mortensen. The decision is expected to cost the network tens of millions of dollars.

Costar Layla Taylor was among the first to break her silence. “My personal history as a survivor makes it impossible for me to stay silent,” she wrote on Instagram Story. “I stand firmly against domestic violence in any form.”

Fellow cast member Miranda McWhorter echoed the sentiment, stating she was “at a loss for words trying to process this all.” She added, “As a human, and especially a mother, I cannot support that kind of behavior. My heart is with the children.”

The fallout intensified after Mortensen filed new allegations claiming Paul assaulted him twice more in February. According to court documents, one incident involved Paul allegedly choking him, shoving him into a window, and striking him. Mortensen claims she pressured him into falsely telling a 911 dispatcher that their son was sick to end the call.

Paul has maintained she is the victim in the situation. Through a spokesperson, she expressed gratitude for ABC’s support while claiming she suffered “extensive mental and physical abuse” and is now gaining strength to “face her accuser.”

The controversy continues to unfold as Paul’s reality television future remains uncertain amid mounting legal and public scrutiny.
