Ex-Bachelorette Taylor Frankie Paul Thanks Fans for Prayers Amid Ongoing Drama: ‘I Will Never Forget’

Taylor Frankie Paul is trying to remain positive during this difficult period in her life.

The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star, 31, took to social media on Monday, March 23, to thank her fans for sticking by her following domestic violence allegations and the cancellation of her season of The Bachelorette.

“I will NEVER forget the ones with me during this time,” Paul commented on a TikTok video defending her against online bullies. “Thank you. Prayer is exactly what pulls us through, prayer is the only reason I’m still standing.”

The reality star’s words of appreciation come days after ABC announced it was pulling the plug on her season of the dating competition series. The season — which was set to premiere on Sunday, March 22 — was axed after video of a 2023 physical altercation between Paul and her ex, Dakota Mortensen, surfaced online.

“In light of the newly released video just surfaced today, we have made the decision to not move forward with the new season of The Bachelorette at this time, and our focus is on supporting the family,” the network said in a statement to TMZ on March 19.

The fight resulted in Paul’s arrest. She later pleaded guilty to felony aggravated assault.

Days before footage of the 2023 altercation was leaked, TMZ reported that Paul and Mortensen, 33, had gotten into a different confrontation in February, leading to The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives to be put on pause.

The Momtok creator — who shares Indy, 8, and Ocean, 6, with ex-husband Tate Paul — has temporarily lost custody of her youngest son, Ever, to Mortensen, per TMZ.
