The video, obtained by entertainment outlet TMZ, shows Paul lashing out at Dakota Mortensen, her partner at the time.<\/p>\n
In the footage, apparently filmed by Mortensen on a mobile phone, Paul rains abuse on him, kicks him and gets him in a headlock.<\/p>\n

She then begins to throw metal stools across the room at him, one of which appears to be deflected towards her young daughter.<\/p>\n
Mortensen can be heard asking her to stop and urging her to see to her crying child, as she continues to scream abuse at him.<\/p>\n
The incident took place in Utah in February 2023, according to police, who arrested Paul on multiple charges, including domestic violence in the presence of a minor.<\/p>\n
While the footage has not been seen before, Paul\u2019s arrest and subsequent conviction were featured on earlier seasons of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.<\/p>\n
Questions will now likely be asked as to how much due diligence producers of The Bachelorette did before casting the lead to the Sunday night prime-time show, which had pricey sponsorship deals with brands including Cinnabon.<\/p>\n
Paul, a social media influencer, went viral in 2022 after revealing she and her then-husband had been \u201csoft-swinging\u201d with other Mormon couples.<\/p>\n
The Hulu show The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives followed the catty fallout from the revelation among a group of Utah-based TikTok influencers, and has so far run for multiple seasons.<\/p>\n
Paul, 31, has not commented on the matter via her social media channels but local media outlets carried a statement from one of her representatives in which the reality star said she was \u201cvery grateful for ABC\u2019s support\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter 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.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe is currently exploring all of her options, seeking support, and preparing to own and share her story.\u201d<\/p>\n
