She ended up with three years of probation, which wraps up this August. Earlier this week, video from the altercation surface, showing Paul throwing a chair at Mortensen. It came out just days before her season of the Bachelorette was set to premiere. ABC quickly decided not to air it, with the spokesperson saying they were focusing on supporting the family. The whole incident played out on the first season of the secret lives of Mormon wives, where body cam footage aired, and Paul called it the worst night of her life. She talked about her rocky path from scandals and a miscarriage to the arrest and getting pregnant again.
