Taylor Frankie Paul has been dominating the headlines for her past scandal and controversy, especially surrounding her 2023 arrest after a heated altercation with her then-partner, Dakota Mortensen. The situation escalated on March 19, 2026, after TMZ released a video showing the two in a physical fight, with Paul seen throwing a chair at Mortensen. The footage quickly went viral, and soon after, The Bachelorette was abruptly pulled from its March 22 premiere.
Amid the heated controversy, details from her 2023 assessment have resurfaced, where reports revealed that Taylor had been labelled an “intermediate problem drinker”. The MomTok star had reportedly even admitted that she remembered bits and pieces of her violent attack.
The heated altercation that started it all
The incident dates back to February 2023, when the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star was arrested following a heated fight at home. According to reports and later-released footage, the situation between Paul and Mortensen escalated quickly, and Paul allegedly hit, kicked, and threw objects, including metal chairs, at Mortensen. Even more disturbingly, a child believed to be present during the incident could be heard crying in the background.
