Taylor Frankie Paul Stays Online as DA Weighs Possible Probation Violation After New Police Report

ABC pulled her Bachelorette season after a leaked 2023 video of a domestic incident with her ex surfaced days ago.

Overview

  • The Salt Lake City District Attorney told TMZ it is evaluating whether a recent police report alleging Paul attacked ex-boyfriend Dakota Mortensen would breach her 2023 probation.
  • Police were called to a recent incident involving the pair and confirmed a report was filed, with TMZ reporting allegations that Paul choked Mortensen and tore off his necklace.
  • Paul has continued posting and responding on social media, telling a TikToker who urged her to log off, "Want me to stare at the wall instead?"
  • Her spokesperson condemned the release of the old video as a manipulative act by Mortensen, while Mortensen denied wrongdoing and said he is focused on their son's safety.
  • Us Weekly reports Mortensen obtained a temporary protective order granting him sole custody of their son until an April hearing, and Paul remains on probation through August 2026 after a 2023 aggravated-assault plea.
