The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives stars Taylor Frankie Paul and Dakota Mortensen have been ordered to get psych evaluations amid accusations of DV and child abuse.
Content Warning – child abuse and DV:
TMZ reported Dakota has called the Utah Division of Child and Family Services several times. He claimed Taylor has been physically abusive to their son Ever, who turns 2 this week.
Taylor denies the allegation, and Dakota has become frustrated that no action has been taken.
Late last month, Taylor and Dakota were driving in his car and got into a heated argument. Allegedly, a drink was spilled on the seat and on Dakota, and he became enraged.
Sources connected to Taylor say he got physical with her. But Dakota was the one who allegedly called the police, as Taylor was the one who got physical.
The tabloid’s sources say Dakota went MIA for nearly 3 weeks after the car incident. Allegedly, that’s why production stopped. He has an important part in the show, and producers wanted to wait until he resurfaced.
Sources connected to the show tell us a different story. They claim cast members refused to continue filming, despite producers wanting to keep filming.
Separate from the car incident, since DCFS had received numerous calls from Dakota alleging abuse, there is currently an open investigation, and we’ve learned both Taylor and Dakota were ordered by DCFS to undergo a psychological evaluation. The psych evaluation has not been performed.
The current custody situation:
According to reports from TMZ, Dakota and TFP are sharing custody amid an investigation into claims of child and spousal abuse.
Allegedly, Taylor and Dakota haven’t spoken to one another in three weeks.
The toxic pair is sharing custody as the Utah Division of Child and Family Services conducts an investigation. It’s unclear which parent, or both, are being investigated.
It’s gotten so bad that TFP and Dakota aren’t handling custody exchanges. Instead, others have stepped in to transfer custody of Ever from one parent to another.
