So Dramatic! with Megan Pustetto

The Complete Timeline of Secret Lives of Mormon Wives’ Taylor Frankie Paul’s #MomTok Rise, Relationship Chaos with Dakota Mortensen & Bachelorette Cancellation | Ep 663

Season 6

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?


This episode has everything you need to know — no prior knowledge required.
