Overview
- Newly released recordings capture a neighbor’s 911 report of “screaming” and “Get off me,” plus ex-husband Tate Paul’s calls to police after Taylor Frankie Paul’s 2023 arrest.
- In Tate’s calls, he says his daughter had a small bump on her head and asks how to protect his children, and an officer explains a short-term jail release no-contact rule and the option to seek a full protective order.
- Context for the calls comes from a video published in March 2026 that shows Paul throwing metal barstools during a fight with Dakota Mortensen, where her daughter appears to be struck.
- Paul previously entered a plea in abeyance to aggravated assault tied to the 2023 incident as other counts were dismissed, and her spokesperson disputes the video’s context while Mortensen denies her claims.
- Fallout continues as Mortensen holds a temporary protective order and temporary custody of their son Ever, ABC shelved Paul’s Bachelorette season, filming of Secret Lives of Mormon Wives paused, and police in Draper and West Jordan opened separate reviews into other alleged incidents.
