On April 22nd, production on season five of the secret lives of Mormon wives is back on track after a pause last month. The reality series stopped filming on March 16th when Utah police launched a domestic violence probe involving cast member Taylor Frankie Paul and her ex, Dakota Mortensen. Officials wrapped it up on April 14th with no new charges against Paul. The hold-up stem from an alleged incident between the pair, who share a two-year-old son. Earlier this year, a video surfaced from a 2023 clash, where Paul threw a chair at Mortensen in front of their kid. That clip tanged her shot at starring on the Bachelorette, right before its March 22nd premiere. Fans and insiders reacted with a mix of shock and support. Paul's team called out Mortensen's moves as manipulative, highlighting years of alleged abuse she endured quietly. She had pleaded guilty in a bans to aggravated assault back then, landing three years probation that wraps in August.
Now reports conflict on whether Paul returns to the show. Some say neither she nor Mortensen films when cameras roll again. But others hint she might join later. Courts stepped in too, with Mortensen getting a temporary restraining order in custody, while Paul filed her own protective order. As the dust settles, expect more drama from these Mormon wives when season five drops. Who loses days tight-lipped? But the spotlight on messy co-parenting keeps the buzz alive. That's your update from Entertainment and Celebrity News today, powered by AI. I'm Corey, with the story.
