Since a video of the assault surfaced, filming has shut down for season five of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives and ABC has cancelled Season 22 of Bachelorette, starring Paul.<\/p>\n
On March 19, TMZ posted a video from 2023 of Paul attacking Mortensen in front of her daughter. Paul has three children and shares one with Mortensen.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is called physical abuse,\u201d Mortensen said in the footage. In the video Paul attacked her ex, punched him, pulled his hair and threw a chair at him.<\/p>\n
At one point Paul\u2019s child was heard crying and Mortensen said, \u201cYour daughter just got hit in the head by a metal chair.\u201d<\/p>\n
The video was recorded the same year Paul was arrested for domestic abuse against Mortensen. She was charged with aggravated assault, domestic violence in the presence of a child causing injury, child abuse and criminal mischief, according to The Hollywood Reporter.<\/p>\n
She pleaded guilty to aggravated assault, and the rest of the charges were dismissed.<\/p>\n
Last September she spoke about the topic during an interview with Alex Cooper on the Call Her Daddy podcast.<\/p>\n

She said charges \u201cwere all dropped\u201d, saying \u201cI never had hurt my daughter. I never intentionally did anything with my children\u201d.<\/p>\n
Paul found fame after she made headlines in 2022 for revealing her \u201csoft-swinging\u201d lifestyle with other Mormon couples with her ex-husband. Soft-swinging involves couples kissing and sometimes oral sex, but stops short of intercourse.<\/p>\n
The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives started as a reality television series following a group of Utah-based TikTok influencers, including Paul, known as \u201cMomTok\u201d, as they deal with the fallout from the scandal.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve been criticised, I\u2019ve been judged and I\u2019ve been rejected,\u201d Paul said in a teaser for the now cancelled Bachelorette.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut anyone that takes the time to know me will see that I\u2019m actually a genuine person and I mean well and a person that deserves another chance at love.\u201d<\/p>\n
Paul will not see her son until a court hearing on April 7.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo parent time is allowed until the scheduled hearing,\u201d the order reads.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Since a video of the assault surfaced, filming has shut down for season five of The Secret Lives…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":339098,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[74,17704,178020,430,2511,4187,11928,14736,156,25596,12898,6187,11517,67207,111,139,69,1118,17357,9095,22639,2737,163,416,160055],"class_list":["post-340127","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-after","tag-assault","tag-bachelorette","tag-celebrities","tag-child","tag-cost","tag-custody","tag-domestic","tag-entertainment","tag-frankie","tag-investigation","tag-lives","tag-loses","tag-mormon","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-of","tag-paul","tag-secret","tag-son","tag-star","tag-taylor","tag-video","tag-wives"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/340127","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=340127"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/340127\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/339098"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=340127"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=340127"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=340127"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
