'I'm a person that will always speak my truth — that's what I'm known for," the 'Mormon Wives' star said after allegations of a domestic violence incident with ex Dakota Mortensen.
The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Taylor Frankie Paul has broken her silence following recent reports of an alleged domestic violence incident between Paul and her ex-boyfriend, Dakota Mortensen.
During an interview with Good Morning America’s Lara Spencer ahead of her upcoming debut as The Bachelorette, Paul, 31, said, “I’m a person that will always speak my truth — that’s what I’m known for.”
“So, when the time is right, I will be. But right now, just trying to be in the present moment and focus on this, but the thing is, my kids do come first,” the mother of three said.
Paul said she is just “trying to be here in the present moment, worrying about home and headlines.”
“It’s hard to see past this, I’m not going to lie. In this moment, it’s just so heavy and when your life is broadcasted out there in these headlines, it’s like the end of the world. That’s what it feels like,” she added.
Paul did not elaborate on any details of the alleged incident.
Paul became known as an influencer in the #MomTok community, a group of women from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints sharing their lives on TikTok. She made news when she announced in 2022 that she had “stepped out” of an agreement with her now ex-husband in terms of relationships with other couples involving “soft-swinging” (a form of partner-swapping) and they were getting divorced.
