Dakota Mortensen is not liking how he’s been portrayed on The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.
The ex of SLOMW star Taylor Frankie Paul is reportedly suing Hulu, claiming producers fabricated storylines to make him appear as a serial cheater and abuser.
According to court documents obtained by TMZ, Dakota is seeking $300K in damages from Hulu and producers Jeff Jenkins Productions and Ludwig Productions.
He claims producers deceived audiences with storylines “assembled from staged events and from the deliberate deletion of footage that contradicted the storyline, and published after the producers had been informed by Mortensen and by others, that the allegations were false.”
Dakota insists he’s not simply upset over a “negative edit,” claiming this is “so much more.”
Ever’s dad alleges producers painted him as an abusive ex who was obsessed with Taylor and wouldn’t let her go.
He also claims the show falsely portrayed him as being unfaithful and retaliating against Taylor by reporting her to Child Protective Services.
Additionally, Dakota alleges producers filmed footage of Taylor striking him with a pizza box, but it never made the final edit.
Dakota claims his reputation has been ruined, causing him to miss out on brand partnerships and business deals.
He also claims to have suffered emotional distress and humiliation as a result of his portrayal on the show.
