Taylor, Frankie Paul and her ex Dakota Mortensen have a history of domestic disputes, starting with a big one back in 2023. That's when Taylor got arrested after throwing chairs during an argument with her young daughter nearby. Dakota later told police over the phone that he stepped in to shield the eight-year-old girl from getting hurt, blocking one chair that still grazed. Sure, Taylor ended up pleading guilty to a felony aggravated assault charge, and the other counts like child abuse got dropped. Fast forward to this February, and another clash between them sparked mutual accusations of violence, which even paused production on season 5 of. The secret lives of Mormon wives. The fallout hit hard when old footage from the 2023 fight leaked online right before Taylor's new Bachelorette season was about to air. ABC quickly pulled the show to support the family involved, leaving fans stunned and sparking lots of online chatter about the reality star's personal. Now, New Corps papers show Dakota has a temporary protective order against Taylor, plus temporary

custody of their two-year-old son. Police in West Jordan are still looking into video from the recent incident, with allegations going both ways. As this situation keeps unfolding, both sides are speaking out while authorities sort through the details, reminding us how messy these relationships can get behind the scenes.
