Production Stopped as Reality Star Faces Legal Trouble

Draper, Utah, USATuesday, March 17, 2026

The new season of a popular reality show has been put on hold after one of its stars, Taylor Frankie Paul, is under investigation for alleged domestic violence. The show’s producers confirmed that filming has been paused while the situation is sorted out, stating they will wait for the outcome before deciding what to do next.

Key Points

  • Police reports indicate accusations have been made by both parties involved, with officials reaching out in late February. No additional details have been released publicly.
  • Paul and her former partner, Dakota Mortensen, share a child. Their relationship has been unstable over the past two years.
  • In 2023, they briefly separated after an incident where a chair was thrown and struck their daughter instead of the intended target. Paul was taken into custody and charged with misdemeanor assault, property damage, and domestic violence in the presence of a child.
  • Paul later claimed on a popular podcast that the charges were dropped, and she promoted her new season of another dating show. Despite the legal troubles, the couple briefly reconciled in 2023 before parting ways again.
  • Fellow cast members have expressed discomfort with her involvement, stating they do not want to be linked to the controversy and hope the show can move forward without her presence.
