Taylor Frankie Paul is still getting her full paycheck from the canceled Bachelorette season. The 31-year-old reality star was set to pocket low to mid-six figures for the ABC show, even though it never aired. Her contract covered services rendered, and the entire season was filmed before the off-camera issues blew up. She had also finished most of her promotional work for season 22, prior to the cancellation earlier this month. Taylor first rose to fame on who lose the secret lives of Mormon wives, which premiered in 2024 after going viral for sharing details about her personal life in Utah. The drama started when news broke of an alleged domestic dispute between Taylor and her on-again, off-again boyfriend Dakota Mortensen. Police confirmed an open investigation involving the couple, who share a two-year-old son. A video from a prior incident resurfaced showing tension that led to her arrest back in 2023. ABC pulled the plug shortly after, with insider saying they were upset over a possible contract
breach. Dakota then filed for and received temporary custody of their son, along with a protection order against Taylor. She's prioritizing her family safety amid the fallout. Now, another police department is looking into a third alleged dispute from last year. Taylor's team says she's breaking her silence after years of alleged abuse, focusing on protection for her and her kids, as things continue to unfold. That's your Durham News Today update.
