'Secret Lives of Mormon Wives' cast raised Taylor Frankie Paul concerns at ABC executives meeting

'The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives' cast told ABC execs at a meeting that they had concerns about continuing the show if Taylor Frankie Paul remained involved.

Cast members from Hulu’s "The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives" told ABC executives at a meeting earlier this month they had concerns about continuing the show if "MomTok" founder Taylor Frankie Paul remained involved, according to audio obtained by NBC News.

The roughly 30-minute Zoom meeting came March 7, following an incident involving Paul and her on-again, off-again partner, Dakota Mortensen. A spokesperson for the Draper Police Department in Utah said earlier this week that there is an open "domestic assault investigation" regarding Paul and Mortensen from February.

During the call, "Mormon Wives" stars voiced their concerns over the future of their careers, the show’s brand and the allegations surrounding Paul and Mortensen. They also brought up alleged abuse involving Paul, who has three children, one of whom she shares with Mortensen.

In 2023, Paul was charged with assault, criminal mischief and domestic violence in the presence of a child, according to Salt Lake County sheriff’s records. The arrest stemmed from allegations of a separate domestic violence dispute with Mortensen in 2023, which was part of the storyline in season one of "Mormon Wives." Court records indicate that Paul pleaded guilty in abeyance to an aggravated assault charge in August 2025, and the other four charges were dismissed with prejudice.

One cast member said they did not feel comfortable filming as long as Paul is being investigated.
