Taylor Frankie Paul Deletes Support Message as Investigations Grow

Police investigations now threaten her 2023 plea arrangement.

Overview

  • Taylor posted two Instagram Stories thanking supporters on Thursday, then deleted them hours later as reported by People, Entertainment Weekly and Us Weekly.
  • West Jordan police confirmed an active review of video Mortensen submitted that they believe was recorded in early to mid‑2024, while Draper police are also investigating a February contact involving both parties.
  • ABC shelved the already filmed Bachelorette season after TMZ published 2023 footage that showed Paul throwing chairs during an altercation with Mortensen, and Hulu paused The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.
  • Despite the cancellation, Paul will still receive her full Bachelorette salary in the low‑to‑mid six figures, according to TMZ reporting cited by multiple outlets.
  • Salt Lake County District Attorney Sim Gill said his office is screening the new allegations for a possible impact on Paul’s plea‑in‑abeyance, as Mortensen holds a temporary protective order and temporary custody with a court hearing set for April 7.
