Overview
- Following Sunday’s court-ordered Mother’s Day visit, Taylor Frankie Paul posted a long message accusing a “snake friend” of kicking her when she was down, a swipe widely read as targeting fellow cast member Mikayla Matthews.
- A judge expanded Paul’s weekly parent-time with her 2-year-old son to about 12 hours and granted a 12-hour visit on Mother’s Day, with mutual protective orders now in place for three years.
- Matthews said in Instagram Stories that she has tried to stay removed and set healthy boundaries, arguing she cannot enable poor or dangerous behavior when children are involved.
- At an April 30 hearing, Commissioner Russell Minas warned that the pair cannot be together long before it turns violent and said their conflict is teaching their child how to handle disputes.
- Police reopened reviews earlier this year, but local prosecutors declined in April to file new charges against Paul, and filming on The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives has resumed without her on camera after ABC shelved her already-shot Bachelorette season in March.
