Paul was previously arrested for domestic violence charges following the incident in 2023.<\/p>\n

She faced misdemeanour charges of assault, criminal mischief and commission of domestic violence in the presence of a child after she was accused of throwing a chair at Mortensen that reportedly hit her daughter.<\/p>\n

The 31-year-old reality star pleaded guilty to aggravated assault in August 2023, while the other charges were dismissed,\u00a0according to ABC4 Utah<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Footage of the alleged 2023 incident between Paul and Mortensen, where she can be seen kicking and hitting her ex-boyfriend and throwing chairs at him, was leaked to TMZ<\/a> on March 19.<\/p>\n

During an interview on\u00a0the\u00a0Call Her Daddy\u00a0podcast<\/a>, Paul told host Alex Cooper the charges stemming from her 2023 arrest \u201cwere all dropped.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI never had hurt my daughter. I never intentionally did anything with my children,\u201d Paul added.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter the arrest, I was under so much stress. I was filmed leaving the jail and then that was immediately on the internet,\u201d she said. \u201cIt was a blessing in disguise. It helped me wake up.\u201d<\/p>\n

It has not been confirmed who released the video to TMZ.<\/p>\n

The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Miranda Hope became the first cast member to publicly speak out following the recent news<\/a> on Friday.<\/p>\n

\u201cDomestic violence and abuse of any kind is something I take very seriously. As a human, and especially a mother, I cannot support that kind of behavior. My heart is with the children in this and I hope they\u2019re safe, supported and surrounded by love,\u201d she wrote.<\/p>\n

Over the weekend, Hope addressed rumours that one of Paul\u2019s co-stars leaked the video.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe first time I saw that video was the same day you all did. None of us girls have ever been in possession of it or any other evidence,\u201d she said<\/a>. \u201cMy intent with my statement was not to shade Taylor, but to simply address that I do not support nor condone that behavior from either party.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have my theories on who leaked the video, but I can promise you it wasn\u2019t any of the women.\u201d<\/p>\n

ABC decided to pull Season 22 of The Bachelorette<\/a>, starring Paul, after the video surfaced.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn light of the newly released video just surfaced today, we have made the decision to not move forward with the new season of The Bachelorette at this time, and our focus is on supporting the family,\u201d Disney Entertainment Television said in a statement last week.<\/p>\n

Disney\u2019s statement did not include details on what the network planned to do with the already filmed season of the dating reality series.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTaylor Frankie Paul domestic violence video causes \u2018The Bachelorette\u2019 to be cancelled\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

Following the news of the season cancellation, Paul said in a statement from her spokesperson: \u201cTaylor is very grateful for ABC\u2019s support as she prioritizes her family\u2019s safety and security. After years of silently suffering extensive mental and physical abuse as well as threats of retaliation, Taylor is finally gaining the strength to face her accuser and taking steps to ensure that she and her children are protected from any further harm.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are too many women who are suffering in silence as they survive aggressive, jealous ex-partners who refuse to let them move on with their lives. Taylor has remained silent out of fear of further abuse, retaliation and public shaming. She is currently exploring all of her options, seeking support, and preparing to own and share her story.\u201d<\/p>\n

After the video was released, a spokesperson for the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives\u00a0star said in an earlier statement that it\u2019s \u201csad to see the latest installment\u201d of Mortensen\u2019s \u201cnever-ending, desperate, attention-seeking, destructive campaign to harm Taylor without any regard for the consequences for their child.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cReleasing an old video, which conveniently omits context, on their son\u2019s birthday is a reprehensible attempt to distract from his own behavior. Thankfully, the public has seen this act before and knows who he is and sadly, many will recognize this pattern of manipulation, both in his actions on the show, and from their own experiences,\u201d her rep added.<\/p>\n

In response, Mortensen said<\/a>, \u201cAs anyone who has seen the video will understand, this is a deeply upsetting situation.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI am, unfortunately, used to these baseless claims about me and our relationship, which I categorically deny. I am focusing on our son and his safety, and hope that Taylor will do the same,\u201d his statement said.<\/p>\n
