Miranda McWhorter on Taylor's Domestic Dispute

0:00It's March 23rd, I'm Cory with the story. This is Durham News today, driven by AI. Miranda McWater from the secret lives of Mormon wives is speaking out about a leaked video showing Taylor Frankie Paul in a domestic dispute with her ex Dakota Mortensen. She flat out denies that she or any of the other women on the show had the footage, saying she only saw it the same day the public did. Miranda insists her comments were just about not supporting violence from anyone involved. The video from 2023 captures Taylor throwing chairs at Dakota while their daughter cries in the background. It led to Taylor's arrest on charges like aggravated assault and domestic violence near a child. She ended up pleading guilty to aggravated assault, with the other counts dropped as part of a deal. Miranda has made it clear she takes domestic violence seriously, especially as a mom, and her thoughts are what the kids caught in the middle. She and Taylor have patched things up after some past drama on the show, but this has everyone reeling.

1:00Taylor's team says she's been dealing with abuse and threats from Dakota for years, and now she's focusing on her family's safety. ABC pulled her from the upcoming Bashleret season, and Dakota has a temporary, protective order, plus custody of their two-year-old son. Things are still unfolding with both sides sharing their stories and support resources like the National Domestic Violence Hotline are there for. 21 in a tough spot.
