Mormon Wives Pauses Filming Amid Taylor Frankie Paul Domestic-Violence Dispute

Hulu has halted production on season five of its hit series "The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives" while a domestic‑violence investigation involving star Taylor Frankie Paul unfolds. Police are probing mutual assault allegations between Paul and her ex‑partner Dakota Mortensen, a case that dates back to a 2023 incident where felony charges were later dismissed. No comment has been issued by Hulu, and several cast members have publicly distanced themselves from Paul. Despite the pause, Paul remains slated to appear on ABC's "The Bachelorette" and recently attended the Oscars.
