I'm Cory with the story, bringing you the latest from Durham News today. Draper City Police in Utah are looking into a domestic assault case involving 31-year-old reality star Taylor and her ex-boyfriend Dakota Mortensen from last month. The investigation has already disrupted her TV projects, leading to big changes for two shows she's tied to. Earlier this month on March 7, the cast of Mormon wives held a virtual meeting with Hulu and Disney leaders. They decided to hit pause on filming season 5 until things clear up, citing safety concerns around the ongoing probe. Cast members have shared their discomfort publicly, with one saying on Instagram around March 18 that the whole group agreed it wasn't right, to keep shooting amid the drama. They're standing by Taylor as a friend, but prioritizing caution. Things heated up further on March 19 when ABC yanked an upcoming season of the Bachelorette, featuring Taylor right after new video surfaced. Knowing a past dispute with Dakota, Disney cited the footage and their decision to pull

back and support affected parties. Meanwhile, Dakota has now filed for a protective order against Taylor and temporary custody of their two-year-old son. As the legal back-and-forth continues, everyone involved is navigating a tough spot with family and careers on the line.
