It’s been days since Dakota Mortensen and his ex-girlfriend, Taylor Frankie Paul, first started grabbing the headlines. For those unaware, the pair are involved in a domestic violence row. According to reports, the Draper City Police Department has confirmed an active domestic assault investigation involving the two. While Taylor was the only one losing reality TV spots because of this, that is no longer the case. New reports suggest that Dakota’s appearance on the third season of Vanderpump Villa has also been axed.
Why has Dakota Mortensen’s appearance on Vanderpump Villa been axed?
On April 3, 2026, TMZ confirmed that Dakota Mortensen would no longer appear in Season 3 of Vanderpump Villa. An insider with direct knowledge told the publication that the decision to axe Dakota’s appearance on the show was, in part, for the same reason that Taylor Frankie Paul’s season of The Bachelorette was cancelled. For the unversed, ABC cancelled the much-awaited series just three days before it was scheduled to premiere on March 22, 2026.
