Taylor Frankie Paul has filed for a temporary restraining order against Dakota Mortensen, accusing her ex of assault, harassment and stalking, Page Six has learned.
In the petition — which the “Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” star filed in Salt Lake City, Utah, on Tuesday — she alleged that Mortensen assaulted her in her home, which “left noticeable bruising on various parts of her body,” on March 2025.
Per the TRO filing, which was obtained by Page Six, Paul had “demanded” that Mortensen leave her home, and when he “refused,” their argument “escalated.”
“Taylor lost her footing, at which time Dakota proceeded to kick her while she was on the floor,” the document alleged.
Hulu Paul also accused Mortensen of showing up to her house in the early morning hours of Feb. 22, 2026, and “confronting [her] over her decision to break off the relationship.
“Taylor made multiple requests to [Mortensen] that he leave her home. He refused,” the petition alleged, claiming Mortensen eventually left but returned later that night, which “put her in fear of abuse.”
The argument continued early the next day, as Mortensen allegedly came back to Paul’s home and “demanded to again speak with Taylor about their relationship.”
Paul claimed she agreed to speak with Mortensen outside to not wake up the three sleeping children inside.
“They each entered the front seat of his truck, and Dakota drove away despite Taylor’s objections (she did not want to leave her children unattended),” the peition alleged.
“The parties argued, and Dakota assaulted Taylor by slamming her head against the dashboard of his truck and striking her knee and elbow.”
The filing contains “photos taken by Taylor show the bruising that developed in the immediate aftermath of the assault.”
