Taylor Frankie Paul has been at the center of a media storm for weeks now. Today, on March 24, police body cam footage of the night she was arrested in 2023 has been released, showcasing Paul in a vulnerable state – slurring her words, in tears, struggling to keep her balance. The star of ‘Secret Lives of Mormon Wives’ and founder of the viral social media influencer group MomTok, Paul was involved in a domestic violence incident three years ago, prompting a call to the police.
In leaked video footage of the infamous fight between Paul and her ex-boyfriend Dakota Mortensen, the mom of two can be seen throwing barstools, pulling hair, and hitting him while her 8-year-old daughter watches from the living room couch.
The body cam footage released by TMZ today captures Paul in an intoxicated state, arguing with the officer, denying requests, and struggling to maintain her balance. The video begins outside Paul’s home, with the 31-year-old demanding Dakota be brought outside. As the officer tries to calm the situation, Paul takes matters into her own hands, walking inside, kicking Dakota out, and making a phone call against the officer’s advice.
As the conversation with the officer escalates, Paul becomes heated, questioning his authority, and raising her voice despite her children being present in the home. The video ends with Paul getting arrested for domestic violence and expressing remorse to her daughter before being taken into custody.
The incident that the body cam footage captures occurred at Paul’s Utah home. Following the altercation, Paul pleaded guilty to aggravated assault and received a 3-year probation sentence, scheduled to end in August. Additional charges were dropped, including domestic violence in the presence of a child, child abuse, and criminal mischief.
In the world of modern women’s lifestyle, Taylor Frankie Paul’s publicized struggles serve as a raw and unfiltered reminder of the complexities of life in the limelight.
