What's Happening?
Taylor Frankie Paul, known for her role in 'Secret Lives of Mormon Wives,' is embroiled in a legal dispute involving her ex, Dakota Mortensen. According to sources, Paul allegedly attempted to persuade Mortensen to publicly mock her former friend and
co-star, Demi Engemann. This request reportedly came after Engemann's husband, Bret, posted a TikTok video ridiculing Paul. Mortensen, who is involved in a custody battle with Paul, submitted text messages as evidence in court, which he claims depict Paul in a negative light. The messages reveal that Paul asked Mortensen if he was still in contact with Bret and Demi, referring to Demi as 'gross.' She further suggested that Mortensen create a video mocking Demi, which he declined, citing it as a bad idea. The relationship between Paul and Demi has deteriorated, partly due to Paul's past romance with Mortensen.
