Authorities in Utah are investigating reality TV star Taylor Frankie Paul for a third domestic violence incident, just days after ABC canceled the already recorded season 22 of “The Bachelorette” featuring her, multiple news outlets report.
The West Jordan Police Department said it is reviewing videos of a 2024 incident that Ms. Paul’s ex-boyfriend Dakota Mortensen reported in February. No charges have been filed.
The Salt Lake County District Attorney’s Office said in a statement that it has requested all investigative materials, noting that any new charges could be enhanced due to Ms. Paul’s prior domestic violence conviction.
Ms. Paul, a star of Hulu’s reality series “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives,” was set to be featured in “The Bachelorette” this month. ABC last week abruptly canceled the show three days before its premiere after TMZ published a 2023 video of Ms. Paul hitting and throwing objects at Mr. Mortensen in front of her young daughter.
She pleaded guilty to aggravated assault in August 2023.
