Taylor Frankie Paul Says She Slept With Dakota Mortensen the Day After 'Bachelorette' Engagement
Taylor Frankie Paul just shared a shocking revelation about her season of The Bachelorette.
Paul's season was scheduled to premiere in March. However, ABC pulled the plug three days before its scheduled premiere after TMZ released a never-before-seen video that appeared to show Paul assaulting her ex-boyfriendDakota Mortensen in 2023.
Around the same time the season was canceled, two Utah police departments opened separate domestic violence investigations into alleged altercations between Paul and Mortensen that reportedly took place in February 2026.
In April, the Salt Lake County District Attorney's Office announced they declined to file charges against Paul for the alleged incidents. However, she and Mortensen remain embroiled in a custody battle over their 2-year-old son, Ever.
During a TikTok Live on Wednesday, June 3, amid the ongoing custody dispute, Mortensen's roommate, Cru Eaton, alleged that Paul slept with Mortensen shortly after returning home from filming The Bachelorette and cheated on the fiancée she left the show engaged to.
Paul appeared to address the claim in the comments section of one of her TikTok videos before later deleting her account. Rather than denying the allegation outright, she took issue with the timeline.
"same day u got engaged is crazy," one fan wrote.
"No the day after," Paul replied.
