About this episode

This episode explores the chaotic rise and fall of Taylor Frankie Paul, including her relationship with Dakota Mortensen and the cancellation of The Bachelorette.

From #MomTok to cancelled Bachelorette… what the hell actually happened? In this episode, we unpack the entire chaotic rise and fall of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Taylor Frankie Paul — from viral TikTok fame and the infamous “soft swinging” scandal… to landing the lead role on The Bachelorette US… and then having the entire season scrapped just days before it was set to air. Yep. It’s as wild as it sounds... We’re diving into her messy, on-again-off-again relationship with Dakota Mortensen — a timeline that includes breakups, reunions, a baby, police involvement, and multiple allegations. Plus, the bombshell events of 2026: a new domestic assault investigation, halted production on Mormon Wives, cast members refusing to film, a disturbing leaked video from a past incident… and the shocking last-minute cancellation of The Bachelorette. So how did it get this far? And what does this say about reality TV, casting decisions, and the duty of care behind the scenes?
