The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives‘ breakout star, Whitney Leavitt, spoke for the first time about Taylor Frankie Paul‘s domestic violence incidents with Dakota Mortensen.
Whitney told Interview Magazine that she is still making sense of the whirlwind that is TFP’s life as of late.
Kids first:
While Whitney is “still processing everything that’s happening,” she knows what is most important … Taylor’s kids.
“I have a lot of emotions about it,” began Whitney. “I’m for the safety of human beings, especially children, comes first.”
Whitney, who did not mention Taylor by name, continued, “Always, period, the end. And I don’t want that to be tolerated. I don’t want that to be overlooked. It’s just so fresh.”
“That’s all I have to say about that.”
What went down, in a nutshell:
Whitney’s comments come days after news broke that Taylor and ex Dakota Mortensen had allegedly been involved in a domestic violence incident in February.
The allegations were confirmed when TMZ posted video of TFP throwing metal chairs at Dakota. A chair hit her daughter in the crossfire, leaving her with a “goose egg.”
This is one of three cases of domestic violence between TFP and Dakoka that we know of.
The DV incidents led Hulu to halt production of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives season 5.
