Overview
- Taylor Frankie Paul, who stars on The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, posted a Mother's Day message Sunday accusing a friend of “kicking me while I’m already down.”
- Her remarks appeared to target castmate Mikayla Matthews, who a day earlier said she set “healthy” boundaries and would not enable risky behavior when children are involved.
- A judge recently expanded Paul’s parent-time with her 2-year-old son, Ever, to up to 12 hours per week and approved an additional 12 hours on Mother’s Day under ongoing court orders.
- The court also issued three-year mutual protective orders for Paul and ex-partner Dakota Mortensen, and prior orders keep temporary custody of Ever with Mortensen.
- Filming for season 5 paused in March and later resumed without Paul on camera, reflecting the off-screen fallout now reshaping relationships on the Hulu series.
