Overview
- Vanderpump Villa, which Lisa Vanderpump confirmed Friday would cut Dakota Mortensen, will debut April 16 on Hulu with his scenes removed.
- Vanderpump said Mortensen had only a brief arc and that scaling it back did not change the season’s story or flow.
- Hulu paused The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives on March 16, and ABC pulled Taylor Frankie Paul’s Bachelorette season on March 19 after TMZ published a 2023 video that showed her throwing furniture at Mortensen with a child present.
- Police in Draper reported contacts with both parties on February 24–25 and passed the case for charging review, West Jordan police are reviewing separate 2024 video evidence, and Mortensen obtained a protective order and temporary custody ahead of a court hearing set for Tuesday, April 7.
- Mortensen is still set to appear in Alex Cooper’s Unwell Winter Games on YouTube on April 6, highlighting uneven industry responses as Disney-owned platforms remove or pause related content.
