Mortensen Files Restraining Order Against Paul

0:00It's March 19th, let's get into entertainment and celebrity news. Dakota Mortensen, from the secret lives of Mormon wives, has filed for a restraining order against his ex-taler Frankie Paul. This comes after two alleged incidents between them on February 23rd and 24th. Mortensen shares a two-year-old son named Ever, with Paul, and says he's worried about his own safety and his child's well-being. A video from a 2023 incident surfaced this week, showing Paul throwing a chair near her oldest child and trying to put Mortensen in a headlock. That led ABC to cancel plans for Paul's season of the Basharrette. Network reps said they're focusing on supporting the family instead. Mortensen's move has sparked back and forth claims. Paul hasn't directly commented on the restraining order yet, but her team says she's grateful for ABC's support while prioritizing her family's safety. Paul's rep accuses Mortensen of years of mental and physical abuse, saying she's now standing up after staying silent out of fear. They called the old video a distraction-timed, poorly on their son's birthday.

Other charges like domestic violence near a child were dropped. If you're dealing with domestic violence, the National Domestic Violence Hotline is 1-800-799-7233.
